Vic and Bob go On The Buses?

Pair mull remake

Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer say they want to revive Seventies sitcom On The Buses.

Bob says he’d play the Reg Varney role, with Vic as conductor Jack Harper, originally played by Bob Grant. And they would ask Paul Whitehouse to play Blakey.

Although the pair were most likely talking in jest, they do have a track record in reviving old shows, having remade quirky private detective series Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) in 2000.
