The Good Life (BBC sitcom, 1975-8)
Episode: Our Speaker Today
Has a sequence in which the Goods' cockerel gets on London Transport AEC Regent III RT935 (JXN 325) on route 71 to Kingston! (thanks Ken Lansdowne) and climbs upstairs, pursued by Tom Good (Richard Briers)
Episode: When I'm 65
"The Goods' neighbours Margot and Jerry decide to keep fit. The episode is where Margot and Jerry decide to keep fit. The finale is a road race between Jerry and Tom. Most of the exterior scenes are filmed in Kewferry Road, Northwood, Middlesex, and the bit of the race when they decide to go into the pub is filmed just off Kewferry Road on the Rickmansworth Road. In the background a BL class Bristol goes by.
It can only be BL93, 94 or 95, because it is on route 128 and has the special red and yellow route branded livery. I believe the spare bus never received that particular style of livery. I think the pub is one of my locals, The Gate, but it looks vastly different these days." (thanks Steve Bunce, also noted by Stuart Turner) Most of the filming for the series was done at two houses in Kewferry Road.
