Holding Back the Years
(BBC magazine show, 2017-8)
A magazine series about keeping healthy post retirement.
Episode 1.03 is presented by TV chef Ainsley Harriot, and much of it is recorded aboard a London General NBFL.
The bus sequence is introduced by archive footage of a London Transport DMS Daimler Fleetline on route 39:

It's seen followed by other vehicles, a Bova from Johnson's of Henley in Arden barely seen, and another London General NBFL, LT480 (LTZ1480):
Also seen are three Arriva London Volvo B5LH hybrids with Wright body, one unidentifiable, the others being HV28 (LJ11EFU) and HV40 (LJ11EFL):
