The misdemeanors and antics of driver Stan, and conductor Jack, who try to get away with blue murder, all under the watchful gaze of Inspector Blake.
I purposely avoided this show for one reason, its reputation, I don't think I know anyone who has a good word to say about it. It is of course typical 70's British humour, and of course you're expected to believe that Reg Varney and Bob Grant were sex symbols, but my honest opinion, is that this show was a riot.
When it hit its stride, it was comedy gold, brilliant and very, very funny, the highlight I thought was the outstanding Foggy night, such an original episode, it's brilliant, up there with the best.
Slapstick, innuendo, double entendres, it's humour that's as far away from what's deemed funny in this day and age, but there are many laughs throughout this series.
It does dip quite badly towards the end, I'm not sure it was ever the same when Michael Robbins left, it definitely lost some of its shine when Varney left, but the remaining cast did their best.
The movies are definitely worth your time as well.
Gone, but not forgotten.
8/10.
