Limmy's Show!

(BBC Scotland comedy sketch show, 2009-13)

Written, directed and starring Brian 'Limmy' Limond as himself as various characters in odd situations.
Series 1, Episode 5 features a character named Dee Dee on a bus wondering why a man in a suit has orange peels in his pocket. A cutaway to a few minutes before, where in Dee Dee's mind, the man eats one of many oranges he has handy while waiting for a bus, reveals that they are travelling on is McColls of Dumbarton's 3032 (M395 JGB), a 1995 Volvo Olympian new to Dublin Bus as their RA236 (95-D-236).

Series 2, Episode 7 features Dee Dee happening upon a bus to the Glasgow district of Yoker (actually filmed at Queens Quay in Clydebank), noting that Yoker is “one of these places [he] only know from the front of a bus” and that the district is “this pure fabled land that sounds like a pure mad egg yolk”, spending five minutes there, then fleeing in terror on the bus in the nick of time as it leaves Yoker. The bus to Yoker - which does not display a route on its LED display - is portrayed by McColls' Olympian 3017 (M345 JGB), new to Dublin Bus as their RA233 (95-D-233) - the Dublin Bus fleet number is visible in an internal shot. Another Olympian is parked ahead, passengers getting off of it and onto 3017 due to a “breakdown”, as Dee Dee claims, though the fleet number is not visible.
