Missing the buses

From Terry Muzzell

Sir: On the Buses may well have been an ‘appalling, witless comedy’ (‘Celebrity squares’, 7 January), but did Rod Liddle ever watch it? The part of Blakey was played by Stephen Lewis, not Deryck Guyler; Blakey’s catchphrase was ‘I ’ate you, Butler’, not ‘I’ll ’ave you, Butler’; and the comedy was first broadcast in 1969, not the 1980s.
