Description:
Life on the Buses is a riotous Brummie comedy set in the wonderfully dysfunctional world of Midland Moon Transit, where the buses rarely run on time, the staff are one cup of tea away from mutiny, and the vending machine has a personal vendetta against everyone.
At the centre of it all is Dave Knocker, a weary but loyal bus driver who’s been keeping things just about functional through fare dodgers, rogue passengers, vending machine showdowns, and endless rota reshuffles. Alongside him are Kenny, his over-enthusiastic (and slightly unhinged) co-worker with a clipboard obsession, and Sandra, his sharp-tongued, unflappable depot ally who’s been threatening to quit since 2019.
When management announces changes, the depot spirals into chaos—karaoke strikes, sausage roll heists, and a hen do with inflatable men are only the beginning. Dave just wants a quiet life, but as things unravel, he starts to wonder whether the depot, mad as it is, might be exactly where he belongs.
Blending classic British humour with warm, character-driven storytelling, Back on the Buses is a love letter to life on the job, complete with dodgy coffee, stubborn buses, and the kind of found family that makes even the worst shift worth it.
If you’ve ever worked a job that made you laugh, cry, or want to hide in the cleaning cupboard—this one’s for you.
