This meant that, unlike the television series which were filmed in London, the filming locations would be found in close proximity to the studios on the streets of Borehamwood and the nearby village of Shenley, which is just a couple of miles to the north-east. However, each of the three films did have at least one scene shot away from the Borehamwood area, as will be revealed later. In 1971 came first On the Buses film, which was to use a number of filming locations in Borehamwood and less so in nearby Shenley. The scene where Stan is forced to undergo a test after an accident and has to drive the bus on a skidpan was filmed at London Transport’s facility in Chiswick, West London, which unfortunately closed in 1983 and the site has since been redeveloped. Mutiny on the Buses was also filmed largely in Borehamwood, incorporating locations used in the first film as well as new sites. Shenley was once more chosen as an ideal filming location for certain scenes owing to the quiet, secluded nature of the area.

DATE OF INTERVIEW: 7 May 2010 at The University of Greenwich INTERVIEWEE: Phil Windeatt NAME OF INTERVIEWER: Kelly Robinson [whose dialogue is in italics] COPYRIGHT/CLEARANCE: PHIL Kelly Robinson [KR]: Lovely. So could you tell me a bit about your background: where you were born, and so on? Phil Windeatt [PW]: Yeah sure. I was born on the 13th October 1955, erm, I was premature. My Mum was at Kingston hospital, erm, and there was an incubator in a small hospital at Hampton Court so I was rushed over there and I was born a couple of weeks early, erm, I, we, were brought up on a council estate in Norbiton, which is between New Malden and Kingston-Upon-Thames. My Dad was a toolmaker, who’s now retired, and my Mum did all sort of jobs to fit in and around myself and my brother, who’s Martin, who’s seven years older than me, so she worked as a playground minder at a school. But by and large she was a part-time copy typist for a milk, a Milk Marketing Board in Thames Ditton , which no doubt, doesn’t exist anymore. Erm, and yeah, so we lived in Norbiton, erm, but my Mum and Dad bought the council house, er, which they eventually sold, and we moved when I was fifteen, to Long Ditton [phon], which is sort of the other side of Thames Ditton [phon], only a couple of miles away. And I went to School, erm, in Norbiton and New Malden, my Junior School was the Mount, and I went to a secondary modern school which was Hollyfield School in Surbiton, er, where my brother had gone and where my Mum had also attended that school as well, when she was young.
