Buses on Screen: Are We There Yet? (BBC documentary, 2007)

A March 2007 look at competition between bus companies in Manchester has much of interest for the armchair bus fan.
Central to the show is this ACE Travel Leyland Olympian/Eastern Coachworks B960ODU with coach seats, new to Midland Red South:

First 60734 (MV02VDG) is a Volvo B7L/Wright:

Stagecoach MAN 18.220LF/Alexander 22091, MX54LRY:

A Magicbus Leyland Olympian/Alexander, 13639 (H604LNA), new to Hong Kong Citybus, passes tram 1023:

Two Stagecoach Dennis Tridents, 17652 and 17667 (V152DFT and V167DFT):

...and Tridents 18193 (MX54LRA), 18043 (MX53FMJ):

Stagecoach Manchester 19069, an Alexander Dennis Enviro 400, has a close encounter with a Magicbus Dennis Dragon new to Kenya Bus:

Arriva doesn't get much coverage:

There are also glimpses of damaged UK North 216 (R364DJN) and L413KEF (Volvo B6/Alexander), and 218 (R366DJN).
The events leading up to the demise of this company are covered in some detail and there are some views of the UK North yard, including 300 (V651LWT), a DAF DB250LF/Alexander, and 105 (M845RCP), a DAF SB220LT/Northern Counties ,110 (R396XDA), a DAF SB220LF/Northern Counties, and 123 (?)

A visit to Yorkshire yields interesting views of this Barnsley and District Optare Delta J322BVO, by now carrying its Stagecoach fleet number 26046:

...also Stagecoach 20236 (K236MAP), an Alexander-bodied Volvo B10B...:

...but more significant is the footage of Yorkshire Traction's unique Kirn Mogul/East Lancs 208 (1901HE), by then in the Stagecoach fleet and carrying both Tracky and Stagecoach fleet numbers:

In Sheffield, views of the tramway system are punctuated by this Powells Metrobus:

Attention shifts to London and views of several Arriva London VLA-class Volvo B7TL/Alexander, including VLA163 (LJ55BVR) and VLA107 (LJ05BLK):
