On the Buses (1969)

S7E5 The Football Match

The bus crew is motivated to create their own football team to compete against the Basildon Bashers. While Jack and Stan aren’t particularly keen, the promise of a five-pound bonus piques their interest. The team relies on their sole talent, young Bob, but Stan accidentally injures him during practice. In a pinch, he asks Blakey for permission to substitute in Olive. Initially skeptical about women in football, Blakey's views shift when he sees the Basildon Bashers, who are an all-female squad determined to outplay Stan's team through various tactics.
