I was a chalet maid at Pontins for ten years,but not during the filming,in the 90's.But i worked with most of the old staff who were around at the making of the film,and most of them all had little bit parts.The bridge were Olive and Stan loose the luggage from the bike is the Rhuddlan bridg,which is still there....

My favourite film is 'Holiday On The Buses' because I stayed at Pontins - Prestatyn Sands where it was filmed, in 1985 & 86. I love the opening shot of the camp, with the Pontins sign on the reception/amenities building, the swimming pool & the shots outside the chalets. Brings back some very happy memories

Holiday on the Busses is a perfect example of comedy inadvertantly becoming documentary, it documents a whole era of British working class life that's gone forever. That's just what working class family holidays were like in the 1970s, they got it down to a tee.
