Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

It’s been a while since we let our Thespian talents loose on the web so I am putting forward a list of potential cast members and will be needing all of you to assist with the main plot.

The following list of cast members is only a suggestion anybody that has a far more apt member of the site to take on any of these roles or indeed that wishes to volunteer for any of the parts suggested, (or create your own), feel free to enter your comments.

Stan (The Bus Driver) -Less, (I believe suitable for the role of ‘Mr. Jobsworth’).

Jack (Conductor)-Rindy, (yes, I know, type casting, but we need a ‘bird puller’).

Mum (of Stan)-Margaret Rothwell, (She’d keep Stan in line).

Olive-Blazey, (maybe she doesn’t look the part but she would act it so naturally).

Arthur- Neil, (Never really has much to do but useful for the one-liners).

Clippies-Slinks, shillelagh, Mez, Bernadette, (anyone that looks good in a uniform really).

Irate passenger-Mick, (if for no other reason than, because I’m easily bribed).

Little Old lady-grannyclaret, (famous on stage and screen for her one woman show, White Rabbits).

Various bit parts can be handed out as we go along.

Mick just called around to borrow a cup of memory chips and leaning over my shoulder has pointed out that I’ve missed out a main character and of course he is right.

I was leaving this one until I could perhaps get a little inspiration, it is a crucial part and requires someone that can not only tolerate being the butt of most of the cast’s jokes but also, at the same time project the image of a blustering bear with a sore head!

Nope, I’ve racked my brains, tried my best, even Mick is looking a little blank, (“nothing new there”, I here you cry!).

So I’ll leave it up to the rest of you, Who could we possibly get to play…..

Blakey-(The Bus Inspector)?

So it’s on with your thinking caps, come on everybody let’s get the show on the road.

I've just been to the Knacker's Yard to get a pair of teeth.

I've got them in now, and feel I'm really getting to know the character.:D

Surely there's no one as objectionable and rude on AW, to play Blakey?

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

hmmmm, thousands of Accyweb members. Tough call for this prime part. Have to get me thinking cap on :rolleyes:

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

Obsessive, rude, inferiority complex, a touch of the little Hitler complex about them?

I'm well and truly stumped.

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

whoooooo I'm famous!!! (( Look mum, I'm on the telly )) oh maybe not!! But AW version will be miles better anyway :D

Shame Hatter isn't about much these days ( and that is one line I thought I would never ever say ) BUT I do think he would have played this part well :D

Blakey-(The Bus Inspector)?

So it’s on with your thinking caps, come on everybody let’s get the show on the road.

I nominate Less for that part.

Retlaw:alright:

Just in case anyone wants reminding of the original cast.

From seeing Blazey's photograph her hair seems just about right for Olive.:D

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

Do pay attention Retlaw, look who's ego has given him the star part!:D

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

I diid I did, but your miscast as Stan, you could only play Blakey.


Who votes for Less as Blakey.


Retlaw. :do-one::do-one:

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

I think Jambutty would be my choice for Blakey....he seems such a carmudgeonly character....Jambutty that is, not Blakey.

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

Less, I will be a clippie too (well if they are single decker buses - my knees don't like stairs too much these days).

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

Don't fret Margaret, if they put you on a double decker, hang your coat over the bottom of the stairs, and when Blakey (Less) gets on you can always swear its a single decker.

Retlaw.

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

No............He's a wanabee for another job.

Falling about laughing at the other two's comments.
LD............about as witty as milk turning sour.
The big G...The most ignorant, arrogant 'Personality' on AW by a long way.
Sorry Retlaw..........if you had have asked to vote for the Three Stooges or Snow White the Dwarf and the Dingle,I may have taken part.

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
 

I would have seen him more in an incidental role, the 'bit' player that stands at a bus stop with his hand out only to be drenched by a large puddle of water as Stan ignores him and drives straight past.
He's that bloke that is seen in every sitcom, everyone recognises him but no-one can remember his name!
