Mike Bassett Manager

(ITV sitcom, 2005)

Unusually, a sitcom spinoff from a feature film.
Ricky Tomlinson's character, first seen in Mike Bassett, England Manager returns to the UK from Spain to manage the football club his dad played for.

Episode 2:
The team run to catch their team coach to escape from their fans. Said coach is UUR414W, a 1982 DAF MB200/Plaxton new to Seamarks of Luton but by then working for Collins Coaches of Northolt:

Episode 6:
UUR414W is seen again in its guise as the team coach. The team get involved in an unseemly race with another coach, Volvo B10M/Van Hool PIB2474 (new as Smith of Wigan 253 (ENF577Y), but seen without fleetnames in the silver livery of Gwynfor Coaches of Anglesey).

It's PIB2474 that comes to grief:
