That's a fine mess you've gotten her into, Stan.
It's such a good life on the buses
and especially so for Randy and Stan in Capital Ride Vol.1 which
collects three of their exploits as they take tickets from the female
passengers and then take them for granted in this Adult Channel programme.
The first three episodes are included on this disc, starting with "Getting
to Grips with the Public" as they start their job, first helping a girl
get her yoghurt top off, literally and then their match is met with a model
who claims to have a fantasy about being seduced by two randy perverts
like these.
The second episode lives up to its name: "Here Comes the Bride", again -
literally, as they ply a redhead on the way to her wedding with vodka and then
rob the girl of her virginity before her wedding night. Finally, we have
"Conductor Unbecoming" where one girl is frightened out of her clothes
by a spider, another is asked plain and simple to get her boobs out and the
episode closes as Randy and Stan put a female recruit through her paces.
Of course, it's no surprise that even with the ITC starting to back down over
consenual sex scenes, the BBFC won't include any particular 'close ups'.
"One adult and two halves, please."
The picture is fullscreen and clear as a bell. No complaints and zero artifacts.
The average bitrate is an almost flat 5.99Mb/s.
The sound is Dolby Digital 2.0 (Dolby Surround) and is clear enough, but
isn't used to any great degree.
The extras include a 14 pictures from the series in the Photo Gallery
and trailers for Sam Gets Her Girl, Department Sex and
Capital Ride, although these tend to be just the piece that preceeds
each respective programme in the opening titles.
There are 12 chapters on the disc, which is four for each episode, but one
apiece is wasted on the opening credits alone. The menus are static and silent
and there are no subtitles.
Covering up her modesty with a
couple of bus tickets wasn't Stan's greatest plan.
