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: holdback10301.jpg
It's followed by footage of a pair of Grey Green Leylands passing at speed. I believe this one is GP3380, a London Lorries bodied Leyland Tiger TS1 new in 1931, the other might be GP3381:

As Ainsley intones 'Nothing says London more than the old Routemaster…..', we see footage of RTL1584 (!) (OLD803). That's compounded by the next clip of two RT family 'deckers:

Then we're introduced to the Routemaster's 'successor, the Wright NBFL, in this case it's London General LT60 (LTZ1060) in heritage London General livery:
UNICODE��L�E�A�D� �T�e�c�h�n�o�l�o�g�i�e�s� �I�n�c�.� �V�1�.�0�1 UNICODE��L�E�A�D� �T�e�c�h�n�o�l�o�g�i�e�s� �I�n�c�.� �V�1�.�0�1 UNICODE��L�E�A�D� �T�e�c�h�n�o�l�o�g�i�e�s� �I�n�c�.� �V�1�.�0�1
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):
UNICODE��L�E�A�D� �T�e�c�h�n�o�l�o�g�i�e�s� �I�n�c�.� �V�1�.�0�1 UNICODE��L�E�A�D� �T�e�c�h�n�o�l�o�g�i�e�s� �I�n�c�.� �V�1�.�0�1 UNICODE��L�E�A�D� �T�e�c�h�n�o�l�o�g�i�e�s� �I�n�c�.� �V�1�.�0�1
Also seen are three Arriva London Volvo B5LH hybrids with Wright body, one unidentifiable, the others being HV28 (LJ11EFU) and HV40 (LJ11EFL):
UNICODE��L�E�A�D� �T�e�c�h�n�o�l�o�g�i�e�s� �I�n�c�.� �V�1�.�0�1 UNICODE��L�E�A�D� �T�e�c�h�n�o�l�o�g�i�e�s� �I�n�c�.� �V�1�.�0�1 UNICODE��L�E�A�D� �T�e�c�h�n�o�l�o�g�i�e�s� �I�n�c�.� �V�1�.�0�1
