Theme song
Probably not appropriate for the main article due to WP:Copyvio, but here are the lyrics (from memory, first verse only):
 * Climb aboard Climb aboard Climb aboard with the Double Deckers Fun and laughter Is what we're after On a double-decker London bus.

Why so few episodes?
Only 17 out of planned 26 were made. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.2.34.156 (talk) 14:19, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

"British" series?
Why is the show described as a "British" children's series? It was made for ABC, it was filmed in the American video format, it was (at least partly) financed by an American company, its running-length was tailored to American schedules, and it first aired on American TV. The BBC later picked it up but they bought lots of other American TV series. Obviously this one was deemed especially suitable because it had a mainly British cast and was set in London, but that didn't make it a British programme. GDBarry (talk) 09:56, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Britain sells Burberry and Duchy biscuits to America, that doesn't make them American. This was a British show, made by Century Films, set in Britain with a British cast and British themes (A "double decker" isn't some sort of burger). The only American in there was a cameo role, as some exotic creature from across the seas. Selling it to the US, and US financial support for making it, doesn't change this.

No page on Douglas Simmonds?
Simmonds was not just a child actor: he was the man who brought the famous Babylonian Flood tablet to Irving Finkel. Anyone interested in Noah, Gilgamesh, or the origins of civilisation will know the tablet I mean: the one that expanded our knowledge of the Atrahasis epic, showed how the original Noah's Ark was built, and enabled Finkel (and others) to rebuild an authentic replica. Finkel describes his encounter with Simmonds in his book, "The Ark before Noah". He describes Simmonds as "a more than able mathematician and a man of many other parts". It seems odd that most other cast members have their own pages, which suggests that even without his other work Simmonds passes the Wikipedia notoriety test. Sadly, all I know about Simmonds is from the Ark book, but perhaps if a page was made that would encourage others to find the page in future, and perhaps contribute?
