Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
spike1-2 IMDb claims Pat Coombs only appeared in one episode, but she actually appeared in two. "Happy Haunting" where the gang go to a stately home was the first."United We Stand" in which a developer wants to turn their yard into a car park is the second. (I think she was the caretaker's wife or housekeeper in happy haunting and the secretary of the developer in united we stand)I've just seen them all again (after 20 or more years and they're still brilliant. If a little dated now.Bet if you showed them to kids today though, they'd still like it.I agree with the other poster, it's well deserving of a repeat.
aash-2 This was one of my favorite shows when I was eight. In fact, the summer I turned 9, my family and I went to London, and at the Bank Holiday Parade, the Double Deckers were IN THE PARADE!!! For an 8-year-old to unexpectedly get to see her favorite TV actors in the flesh, that was quite a moment! They were of course riding in a double decker bus, hanging off the sides and waving and smiling. I was jumping up and down, a complete hysterical screaming mess. My mom fumbled with the camera and able to get one good picture. I wish I could see this show again. I was very tickled to see how most of the actors have gone on to bigger and better things.
martyn-62 A fun, fast moving British children's comedy littered with singing, adventures, Heath Robinson style inventions and a great great theme tune/song. I loved it and so did my siblings and friends. Wonderful and at the age of 41 I'd watch it again!Favourite episodes (lordy, I'm digging deep here) are Brains robot invention, donut going invisible, a kind of war involving aliens and some kind of gun firing something or other. Memorable stars were Scooper, Melvyn Hayes, Brains, doughnut, Sticks, the girls. I have a strange feeling Derek 'Washboard' Guyler may have been a regular.In glorious colour too.
Huw Nathan "The Double Deckers" was a highly popular comedy series which was televised by the BBC on Saturday mornings. There was the attractive use of good natured banter as a group of friends were able to 'go and do their own thing'. It was outright escapism and for viewers such as myself who were under ten years old in age, it was a welcome delight to meet up with our friends. We used to identify with the characters. The cast were good and individually they still linger in one's memory. The songs and dance routines were light hearted and I guess that with the hindsight of a certain nostalgia, this has become a cult classic. Several of the actors have grown older and have progressed to successful adult acting careers.
