On the Buses spinoff staring our Smiler, Stephen Lewis. I uploaded the copies I have to Dailymotion and made a playlist, the ones on YouTube are horrible quality. https://dailymotion.com/playlist/xan29e
Dailymotion compressed them a little, but not too bad. If anyone wants the files I have (or any of the shows I post/have) and has Resillio Sync, click this link
Don't Drink the Water S1-2
if you don't have Risillio that link should prompt to install it then let you download the shows. Risillio is a free app that lets you share files directly without going through slow uploads to the cloud (and having to find/shuffle cloud space) so when you click that link to download the files they come directly from me making the download only dependent on our own internet speeds.
 
Ey up, me ears are burning. How do @captain clutterbuck , hope all is well your way. I did get the DVD's for "Don't Drink the Water" about a year or so ago. I like it for Stephen Lewis (Smiler / Blakey) and enjoyed it. His sister's complaining tended to irritate me at times. Would rather have it with her embracing the move with a better attitude. To watch her and Stephen go out adventuring and exploring their new area while still having all the mishaps along the way.

On a side note Captain I have been making my way through "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" and "Only Fools and Horses" for the first time, really enjoying them.

I have to say I'm utterly amazed DDTW managed a second series as I thought it was utter dross! The old rule that spin off's are very seldom worth watching....

I controversially also apply that rule to First Of The Summer Wine too which I had to force myself to watch to the last episodes.

I've seen the OFaH 7 series through a few times but avoided Gold's airing of the specials because I never timed catching the 1st one so I have those to enjoy at the right time:)

I think I watched and enjoyed FOSW mainly for the scenery, all of the locations I already knew, and some discovered in the last few years, though I did enjoy the 40's music used in the show

I liked it too. Especially how they made it sound like it was coming from an older radio. Found the title music and some others online but they did not have the nostalgic radio sound.

Hiyas, tommy. I am watching these via a youtube reactor named "bxkid7" fairly certain he has the complete set backed up on his google drive page because there was an issue with them on his main youtube page. If you do not mind the reactor style picture in picture format. I will post his youtube OFaH playlist page where the first comment is a link to his google drive page of the series.

Here is an episode guide link since the format list is not completely in numerical episode aired order on his page.

I've followed this guy for a few years now and enjoyed his reactions. He is a big, big fan of Ronnie Barker. Some shows I've watched him react to already are: Porridge, Open All Hours, Still Game, Dad's Army, Only Hurts When I Laugh, Vicar of Dibley, On the Buses, plus others and currently Ain't Half Hot Mum and OFaH. With Only Fools and Horses being the first series I have had to watch via his google drive instead of youtube.
