Trivia
This was the last sitcom to be recorded at LWT's studio complex at Wembley (where 'On The Buses' was also shot). Following the completion of the series, staff and technicians decamped to LWT's new state-of-the-art facility on the South Bank (later known as 'The London Studios') which closed in 2018.

dont drink the water - series

Apr 24

I must confess i had never even heard of this series let alone ever seen it, and judged on the lack of IMDB scores and reviews, not many others have seen it either.

I just went through all the On the buses episodes for the first time, which led me to this series which is an offshoot, as its about Blakey and his sister and life after On the buses.

Personally i found Blakey very likeable in On the Buses but the problem is here he is retired so no longer an inspector and truthfully this could of been anybody in this series, it wouldnt of mattered.

Its Ok but not great, not surprised there were only 13 episodes, incidentally the first series covered just 1 week of their time in Spain.

Worth watching but thats about it..

6.5 out of 10.
