(1965, Billy Fury, Amanda Barrie)
Musical vehicle for singer Billy Fury, and also featuring Coronation Street regular Amanda Barrie, partly filmed in Great Yarmouth.
An early scene has as its background three coaches, the nearest of which is Harrington bodied:
The centrepiece of the movie is a trip to the Epsom Derby, improbably using local operator Seagull Coaches CC8670, a 1929 Dennis GL with J Roberts 'toastrack' style body new to Llandudno Corporation:
The passengers stop off in London to acquire suitable racegoers' clothes; this is illustrated by stock footage of London buses in Trafalgar Square:
On arrival at Epsom there is a panoramic view of the racecourse, including the traditional line-up of open top buses, and an array of coaches:
We see one bus used as a backdrop for a bookie's stall:
More panoramic views:
The final run in features closer views of the buses, albeit blurred -
