Did this TL (Turntable Ladder) rescue a 'Likely Lad'?. The 1976 film "The Likely Lads" was filmed in the North East. At the beginning Bob (Rodney Bewes) is rescued by the Fire Brigade from a church roof - while retrieving a football (!)
Much to the amusement of Terry (James Bolam).
The problem is at no time is the registration plate of the TL viewed. Newcastle and Gateshead both had TLs -
Which one was it?
Any of the crews remember the event? - Drop us a line. Otherwise its off to the BBC - or maybe 'Rodders' can give us the answer?
AEC DELTA 03
Pilgrim Street, Newcastle, Late 70's? ' - most Likely
