RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2019 I never really watched 'On the Buses' as one minute of it was more than enough for me. The nearest I ever got to it was when the cast of a panto stayed in the guest house that I lodged at in Frome and the star of the show was Anna Karen (aka Olive in 'On the Buses'), they were a right noisy lot and she was the queen bee of the cast, weird. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All broadcasts are digital, so you need a digital receiver, they are al colour decoders, so require a colour licence. So B&W licence is not usable as there are no digital decoders which do luminance only. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
