6/10

The last film to come from the <em>'On the Buses'</em> television series, the weakest one at that. <em>'Holiday on the Buses'</em> isn't far off the preceding two spin-offs, but it just felt a bit flat throughout to me. I didn't feel bored by any of it, though also didn't find that much entertainment either. It's just very meh. I am someone who enjoys the actual on the bus shenanigans most, which is somewhat lacking here - and even when they are on a bus, it's a tour one. The sexism remains, to the shock of nobody. Reg Varney, Bob Grant and Stephen Lewis remain enjoyable, especially Lewis. As with the its predecessors, none of the support cast stand out majorly. There are a few amusing moments, but more limp ones to be honest. Most of the jokes felt repeated from the 1971 and 1972 productions. No surprise they ended these films here.
