    a classic seventies kids show that adults love

    features brinsley ford later of aswad(the reggae band) fame,this is a classic 70s kids series that should be released on DVD,it would sell well to all those that fondly remember it after school great stuff,set in a scrapyard on board,an abandoned ,double decker bus(hence the title),it was a sort of comedy adventure,each week.all the gang had nick names such as tiger and doughnut,who was somewhat overweight and always getting stuck in things.the theme tune here comes the double deckers is a classic slice of seventies pop.i think it ran for at least two seasons and was an extremely popular show in its time.i would love to see it again,as i'm sure would many others
