Time of My Life

(BBC sitcom, 1980)

A man (Mark Kingston) finds everything in his life going wrong, and resolves to turn things round. Outside scenes filmed in and around Bedford.

Episode 1:
Early on there's a view of a very grubby United Counties Leyland-National crossing the St Marys Street bridge over the Great Ouse river:

There's also a background glimpse of Bedford bus station, with several United Counties Bristol VRT3s and a VRTSL2:

Finally Kingston travels on a Bristol VRTSL; it's green, so I assume it's a United Counties example:

Episode 0:
Episode 1 is a reshoot of a 1979 unaired pilot. In this case, the bus Kingston travels on is a Bristol Lodekka FS; it's also green, so I believe it's a United Counties example:

A very distant United Counties Bristol Lodekka:
