Micheal Robbins( 1930-1992)
Micheal was very talented on the screen and the TV...Playing Arthur Rudge in
On The Buses, he was on the end of many jokes delivered by Stan (Reg Varney).
Most of the jokes were to deal with his "Operation" that seemed to limit his sex
drive with wife Olive (Anna Karen). If you talk about a maraige made in hell then,
Arthur and Olive was that. Arthur was a hospital worker when he arrived on the Butlers
doorstep looking for a room, they made it as a railway ticket agent, and then as a bus driver,
in the movie On the Buses. The facial expressions that Micheal gave when being the but of Stans jokes, or when Olive did something wacko, was worth a good laugh or too. Micheal left the series early and that was too bad as it did not give the writers a chance to end the relationship with Olive on a funny note. Seen Micheal in a bit Part in Victor/Victoria as a french innkeeper,
he was great for the short time in the film, the best part being when juile andrews offers him sex for a meatball!!!
FAVORITE MICHEAL ROBBINS MONENT IN OTB:
IN BREW IT YOURSELF, HE THINKS STANS ATEMPT TO MAKE HOME BREW IS
CRAZY, BUT WHEN HE GETS A TASTES AND ENTER THE ROOM WHEN JACK BRING S A SOBER STAN HOME, HIS ANTICS ARE REALLY ENJOYABLE....
MISS YA ARTHUR!!
