The Black Stuff (BBC drama, 1980)
Influential 1980 Alan Bleasdale-written one-off play that spawned a 1982 series. Although the central characters are from Liverpool, no Merseyside buses are seen. There is a glimpse of a passing Bristol VRTSL3/Eastern Coachworks. Although it's in standard National Bus Company red, the fleetname isn't clear.
More interesting is a brief scene with a Ford Transit waiting for a ferry. Two different buses are seen in the background, the first a Leyland-National, the second a Bristol RE/Eastern Coachworks. I believe these are Hartlepool buses - can anyone confirm?
