Here Come The Double Deckers

[Hector]

Who here remembers this British 1970 show?





It was about kids hanging out at a parked old red double-decker London bus in an unused junk yard...



Only 17 episodes were ever made, but I watched them all as a kid (during my 7-14 age stay in Mexico).

The most iconic scene for me was the auto-lock mechaism inside the clubhouse (featured in opening credits).

Can't find complete episodes...but here are the opening credits (not the best quality)...60s meets 70s...

The kid named Scooper is Peter Firth, he became as respected Academy Award nominee actor.

Sticks was the only American in the group.

Sadly, the heavyset kid, Doughnut (Douglas Simmonds), passed away in 2011.

Where are they now?

Geez. Could those credits be any longer.

The point of this thread is nostalgia.

Anyone else remembers this show?

Peter Firth, eh? That's a far cry from Equus and Dorian Gray.
