Snakes and Ladders

(Channel 4 comedy, 1989)

Set in a dystopian future (well, 1999) when Britain has been divided into the rich South and the poor North. Rich Giles (Ade Edmondson) and poor Gavin (John Gordon-Sinclair) are swapped at the border.
Seen in episode 1 and 2, the poor folk's bus is 208YVX, a 1962 Bristol MW5G/Eastern Coachworks new to Eastern National, but seen here in traditional Aldershot and District livery:

The rich folk's luxury coach is 540U, a smart Van Hool T815 Acron new to Wharfedale Pullman Travel registered E84SWW in 1987:

Another Van Hool is seen, but not in enough detail to identify:
