Buses on TV

[Ex BC driver]

I remember many years ago when my sister watched tellytubbies, they were doing something about counting and some metrobuses were shown

[John]

Its a Series One Episode where 2465 is featured I think its the 3rd episode but I'm not 100% sure on that :)

Thanks Rob, will have to watch that again.

Also, don't forget that Aston Manor's RM506 will soon be on 'The Game' next year that BBC were filming in Birmingham a few months ago

Its the 4th Episode of Series 1, loading at a stop on 'The Moorfield, Coventry', now the 16 route

Technically not buses... but bus spotters were talked about on Have I Got News For You the other week

Also, on an old QI episode shown on Dave, Stephen Fry/Alan Davis, Jeremy Clarkson and someone else are talking about Birmingham (Slagging it off like usual), and the picture behind the panel is a MK1 Metrobus (WMT Red Stripe Livery) on the 57A on Corporation Street

Another childhood programme: 'Me Too!'

Where Lothian buses, primarily Plaxton Presidents, are featured - disguised in the name: Riversea Buses
Although, quite frankly - If you watch the show the vinyl have been very poorly attached!

Other buses may include:
- Dennis Darts SLF - I think these do not have 'Riversea' Logos attached...
- Volvo Olympian (Alexander Royale) - in the Old livery

[Liverpool Street]

I haven't noticed it been said but...

...The Weatherfield Wayfarer on Coronation Street makes an appearance now and again. Clearly a Stagecoach breadvan with the fake logo in the advert board.

Gee, thanks!!

..and people wondered why I liked [greater] Manchester buses so!

[the trainbasher]

On BBC's Waterloo Road youve had Bullocks, Stagecoach Manchester, First Manchester, First Glasgow and McGills

That new program coming up about EYMS features EYMS :-)

The Route Masters - Running Londons Roads features some RMLs of First amongst others...

I think the mad 2000's one.. so they wake up in a hotel room and its all a dream? Come off it! Whoever thought of that needs their head checking.

[Bob]

Na if you remember the screen panned to a supermarket and it turned out jane asher was a checkout girl who dreamed her ran an hotel in the Midlands lol

[Gareth]

Although the later incarnation of Crossroads was filmed in Nottingham, occasionally a TWM Optare Solo was used. But with 'West Midlands' taken off the fleetname, showing just 'Travel'.
No idea why, everyone knew Kings Oak was supposed to be just outside Birmingham!
