About Face (BBC drama)
"In 1991 the BBC had a series called 'About Face' featuring Maureen Lipman, but every episode was a complete story in itself. In one, called 'Tourist Attraction', Maureen played a tourist guide taking a coachload of Americans around England. The coach was a Plaxton-bodied Leyland Tiger registered G720OKH with the fleetname 'Tati Tours'!" (thanks Rob Sissons, who provided this screenshot)
Absolutely Fabulous (BBC sitcom)
Graham Selway recalls "an episode of Absolutely Fabulous had an unidentified Kentish Bus Leyland Olympian/Northern Counties drive between Edina and Patsy, and the camera, entirely blocking the screen! Unfortunately it wasn't identifiable but it would have been from the G-VBB batch that was used on the 22 and 55 back in the early 1990s. It was in the much-missed KB primrose and maroon livery."Ace of Wands (Thames children's drama series)
Andrew Porter recalls "from August 1971, a three part serial called Joker. A troupe of travelling entertainers feature in it, using an early Bedford SB with what looked like either Plaxton or Gurney-Nutting coachwork, in a psychedelic colour scheme. Any one else remember Tarot?" There are two photographs on the Ace of Wands website, on the 'History' page.After They Were Famous (Tyne Tees documentary series)
