Yes, I remember. There was a little girl who had a cuddly tiger, as I recall (or some kind of cat-like toy)
Yes I remember them. 'Get on board, get on board, get on board with the Double Deckers' take a ticket on a journey on a double Decker London Bus. I remember the theme tune and the words. There was Tiger who had a cuddly toy who was the youngest of the crew.
Yes I do! They all lived on a bus and the nerdy one with glasses was called brains - check this out.... lots of memories on here...

Yes, I remember it.
It had a particularly awful theme song "Come aboard, come aboard, we're the Double Deckers...".
It also had a prop bus that looked as though it had been designed by somebody who had read about London busses but had never seen one.
The set was inescapably studio-bound. The flat lighting gave it away.
The actors were ghastly precocious children who seemed to think that they were "A List" - decades before the Big Brother non-entities stole that accolade.
An absolutely appalling programme and well consigned to the dustbin of televsion history. May we never see it's like again.
Of course, some people will disagree and say that it was brilliant - thank heaven we live in a Free Country that permits such dissention (so far).
yes i do
had to clean out the brain to remember that one .
I remember it - really enjoyed it at the time.
remember it, i thought it was so cool and it made such an impact on my childhood, i actually live in a red doubledecker bus today.
if only that were true, i'm so full of sh1t sometimes.

Here Come the Double Deckers was a seventeen-part British children's TV series from 1970/1971 revolving around the adventures of seven children whose den was a red double-decker London bus in an old works yard. A co-production between British independent film company Century Films and American TV company 20th Century Fox, it was a comedy adventure sitcom similar in look and feel to other late 1960s / early 1970s sitcoms such as The Monkees, The Partridge Family and the Banana Splits.
The program made its debut on September 12, 1970 at 10:30 am ET in the US on ABC, and at 4:55 pm on January 1, 1971 in Britain on BBC One. In the US, the series was rerun on Sunday mornings during the 1971-1972 TV season on ABC from September 12, 1971 to September 3, 1972, in the same time slot.[1]
Each week saw the gang in a contrived adventure including episodes based around a runaway home-made hovercraft, a chocolate factory and a gun that shot out candy pieces, invading Martians, and a haunted house.
The cast were unknowns apart from Melvyn Hayes who appeared as Albert the Street Cleaner. Of the younger stars, Peter Firth has gone on to a prominent acting career, appearing in Equus, The Hunt for Red October, Tess, Pearl Harbor and Spooks. Co-star Brinsley Forde later became the lead singer in Aswad.
The series was original scheduled for 26 episodes, followed by a further series, but production ceased after the 17th due to financial difficulties and alleged irregularities.
Due to legal issues the show has never been available on video (except in France) or DVD
God yes!
Wasn't there a kid called 'doughnut'? Or was that character in another show?
