Was there ever any merit whatsoever in On the Buses?

Does our car have a notice on it inviting overtaking drivers to cut in dangerously close, preferably without indicating?

Was there ever a book more riddled with inconsistencies than The Voyage of the Dawn Treader?

Why, when there are tens of thousands of waxwings in the country, have I still not seen one?

Are there any more questions I should be asking?

On the Buses probably saved London Weekend Television, many of whose programmes were initially seen as excessively highbrow and metropolitan, which meant that they didn't network as many programmes as expected at first. Frank Muir and Denis Norden were wise to commission it. I've never watched a whole episode but the talent involved was staggering.
