Episode: Tee Off, Mr Bean
London and Country 277 (BVP813V) plays a part in this only slightly funnier than toothache episode. It's a Leyland National 2 new to Midland Red.
“Leyland National BVP813V appeared in 'Mr Bean' back in 1995. Mr Bean was playing crazy golf, and hit the golf ball out of the park, and went on playing all round town, and also travelled on the bus, while still playing golf!!. The bus's blinds were showing 405 to West Croydon which is a real route. The bus was in London Country green at the time.” (thanks Paul Jones):
