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. |
Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
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? |

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: |
Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
Just in case anyone wants reminding of the original cast.
http://www.onthebusesfanclub.co.uk/n..._cast_crew.htm From seeing Blazey's photograph her hair seems just about right for Olive.:D |

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: Quote:

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. :egged: Quote:

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!
Whilst Less is concentrating on the cast for the forth coming remake,
what about the other jobs. Scenery, Britcliffe and his gang. Catering, Corporation Cleansing Dept. Lighting, Hyndburn Mantle Squeezers Transport, Accrington Cycle Club. Photography, OwdBert. Special effects, Entwistle & Neil. Scrip writers, Accy Observer. Publicity, ???? to name just a few. :pain30: Retlaw. |
Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
If the buses are supplied by Transdev I think Less will lose his part anyway, they aren't too keen on allowing 94 yr olds on the buses :D

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
Im going to admit something which is very dangerous here - when i worked down in the bus shed the drivers gave me a nickname ..... mainly because of the glasses i wore and being sent out on the buses to bug them from time to time :D
Mind you hated being a clippie when i did that one day .... Can i wear trousers as being the clippie please less? I learned my lesson for wearing a skirt and going out on the buses ..... :rolleyes: |
Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
By the way i was going to suggest royboy for blakey - he was an inspector at Blackburn .....

Im not in charge of no casting couch ..... unless it involves a trip to spain - i may then be persuaded expenses included......

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
Am affronted that I have not been nominated for one of these leading roles, however, will consider a star appearance (not bit part Hummph!) as in there subsequent films:-
Driver .. Pat Coombs. Nurse .... Kate Williams. Please refer to my agent (Mick ... :D) to negotiate terms. Otherwise, may consider being Director, as you obviously will have no idea of positioning.... :D |

Oh, is he still here? I'd have thought he'd have found another site to post about Mrs. Meldrew bouncing cheques, then getting all grumpy when everyone gave useful advice so it didn't happen again. Perhaps it's just everything else that is better abroad...just not internet forums.;) I also think the production company for this new On the Buses would struggle getting insurance for someone of such advanced years. I read recently it's a problem for them on Last of the Summer Wine. |

Arrogant...Ignorant....Headline chasing moron...I could think of a few more stronger words I could use but I will refrain. I wonder how many people would accept their wife being called Mrs Meldrew............That's the arrogant bit. My wife had a cheque returned for the sake of 30p....He still thows this in two years or more after the event......That's the ignorant bit. I think the headline chasing bit is self evident. I go to my bed in the knowledge that my insurance is paid up even at my age............I think his comment about that is arrogant and ignorant. Garinda, I think you had better put me on ignore again. :alright: |

I chose this one for my own reasons, and contribute. Blackburn does not interest me at all. Unwanted advice........do you give any and what is your experience? Enjoy yourselves doing what?.............Coming back with stupid comments on what other members dare to comment on, or give their opinion on a subject that only Less has knowledge of.....very limited in the extreme I would have thought. Get real Leslie baby if that is your name....go and have a drink with the Ossy bombshell and plan your next method of attack. |

Now feel free to continue ranting in this thread, it has kept your inane views away from other threads for most of the day so it must have been good for the site! :alright: |

Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
Well I don't wanna be in it anyway - so there, Less, sucks-boo to you. :dummy2:
I want to do "Upstairs Downstairs". I, of course, will be Lady Marjorie (Oh hell, she went down with the Titanic didn't she?) and Cashman will be Mr Bellamy. Any offers for Mrs Bridges and Mr Hudson? ;) |
Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
Can I be Mrs. Bridges?

All that wasted time, a shame really. Love the Upstairs, Downstairs idea. :) I loved Ruby best, and would make an honest, hardworking scrubber.:D |
Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
I think Len should be Hudson............ but can he do the Scottish accent?
|
Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
You could be right there, Willow. Any candidates for Rose? Bear in mind she (Jean Marsh) wrote most of the damned thing. :D
Cashman - Mr Bellamy is only the master of the house - the patriarch - the one who supplies the wherewithall to keep the household going (though Lady Marjorie's fortune has helped a bit). He's very important to the plot, becomes an MP (I'm afraid he's a Tory), and keeps going long after Lady M has succumbed to that iceberg. :) |
Re: Accywebs very own remake of on the buses!
If he becomes a tory mp then it has to be andrew b aka cyfr!!!!

Well there was the son, James, who did the usual spoiled son thing and got one of the maids pregnant then reacted as though it had been a gun that he didn't know was loaded. I think they sent him to Australia (or somewhere) once they'd paid her off. Would you rather be him? You will have to compete with the once-gorgeous Simon Williams of course.
