This short-lived sequel to On the Buses (1969) saw Blakey move to Spain with his sister.
From the minute he steps off the plane with his sister Dorothy, ex-Inspector Cyril Blake realises that he has swapped one set of problems for another. His dreams of sun, sea & señoritas and the quiet life are shattered ...
Now that they have arrived in Spain all Cyril and Dorothy want is some peace and quiet - and perhaps some decent food if they can find any ...
He's used to breakdowns after working on the buses, but ex-Inspector Blake has not seen one make as much impact as that affecting the water lorry bringing fresh water supplies to his small flat in Spain.
It's Dorothy's first shopping expedition and she knows she isn't going to struggle because she doesn't know how many ounces there are to a kilo. But she is not prepared for the surprises in store for her ...
One of the main reasons they left England was the power cuts, amongst other things. Now, Cyril and Dorothy are horrified when the electricity goes off in their flat ...
Cyril has decided to rewire his flat after becoming disillusioned with the Spanish electricity service. Unfortunately, his efforts to make it work like in England land him in trouble with the police.
It's down to Carlos to investigate the horrible odour coming from the drains that's making Dorothy want to pack her bags and head home to England ...
