Follow Me AKA The Public Eye

(1972, Mia Farrow, Topol, Michael Jayston)

Accountant Jayston hires private detective Topol to follow his wife Mia Farrow around London. A crazy romp around the London area ensues.
An unexpected Easter Egg early on: a passing London Transport AEC Routemaster bears an advert for the movie 'Blind Terror', starring - Mia Farrow:

No ID for this Routemaster, or the passing RT:

Some nice footage of a trip to Windsor Safari Park aboard London Country SM500 (DPD500J), an AEC Swift/Metro-Cammell that was stored at Windsor garage at the time. Topol follows on his scooter, but it gets trashed:

Compare this Red Arrow AEC Merlin/Metro-Cammell, MBS562 (AML562H), in the next scene, back in London:

Topol risks life and limb boarding one Routemaster, while another, RML2541 (JJD541D), shoulders past on the inside:

This tourist coach is not local, but the RMs following are:

This Plaxton coach looks like a Tappins of Didcot vehicle, but I can't prove it:

This Duple coach is from Swinards of Ashford:
