context_section_description: The story concerns Don (Cliff Richard) and his friends Cyril, Steve and Edwin (played my Melvyn Hayes, Teddy Green and Jeremy Bulloch) who are bus mechanics at the huge London Transport bus overhaul works in Aldenham, Hertfordshire. During a miserably wet British summer lunch break, Don arrives, having persuaded London Transport to lend him and his friends an AEC Regent III RT double-decker bus (not a later AEC Routemaster, as is often stated). They convert the bus into a holiday caravan, which they drive across continental Europe, intending to reach the South of France. However, their eventual destination is Athens, Greece. On the way, they are joined by a trio of young women Sandy, Angie and Mimsie (Una Stubbs, Pamela Hart and Jacqueline Daryl), and a runaway singer Barbara (Lauri Peters) pretending to be male, herself being pursued by her mother Stella (Madge Ryan) and agent Jerry (Lionel Murton).  
  The movie was a box-office hit, thus repeating the success of Cliff Richard's previous film The Young Ones (1961).
