thought the old bus behind maybe worth a mention? ;)

I've been trying for years to find out what this was. Leyland Tiger Cub or AEC Reliance, but I'm guessing.

Incidentally this scene doesn't appear in the TV showings, so I'm guessing it's only on the DVD?

This is a Beadle Commer like this one:

Might be a film location bus.

Well done dudley, a good identification from the matching cab details. :)

From searches with Google......"Beadle-Commer" as a manufacturer rather than Commer (engine/chassis) with a Beadle body I guess?

Any more details for actual model?

It's one of only two pics on Google. Found it by accident. Beadle looks like the coachbuilder as they're linked to other chassis makers, eg this AEC: http://www.sct61.org.uk/ng1491.htm

SteveA will know the correct way to list :)

Beadle were a coachbuilders from Dartford that became part of the Rootes Group as were Commer. They also produced integral body/chassis buses so I think Beadle-Commer is quite possible.

As you say SteveA will be able to give a more expert assessment. (Leaving the model name as unknown as there is some finalising necessary for the identification).
