Over the last year or so, two double-deck buses on British-built chassis have
appeared in UK transmissions of the TV programme "Neighbours".

Firstly, there was a Daimler in semi-derelict, half-open-top form.

Secondly, an AEC (Regent III ?) which was running as "Lou's" mobile
restaurant.  The AEC was finally portrayed as having caught fire and been
destroyed.  Was the bus actually burned in the making of the programme, or
was a "mock-up" used for the fire scenes ?

Does anyone know the identities of these two buses, which fleets they came
from, and whether either of them still exists ?

Any info will be appreciated.
