| 摘要： | Another reminder of Greater Manchester in the 1980s caught Billy Nicol's attention over Christmas when he watched the film Resurrected on the Talking Pictures TV channel which specialises in nostalgic programming. This was released in February 1989 and stars David Thewlis as a soldier from Lancashire who turns up alive but suffering from memory loss seven weeks after he was believed to have died in the Falklands War in 1982. Rita Tushingham and the late Tom Bell play his parents, while a 23-year-old Steve Coogan also has a part in the story. Towards the end of the 96min production, Billy's attention was pricked by the appearance of a Greater Manchester double-decker, Oldham-based Leyland Olympian 3276 with coach-seated Northern Counties body new in May 1987 and in the livery that GM Buses used for such vehicles on limited stop services. That made it five years newer than when the story was set, but the film makers applied sufficient disguise to avoid upsetting all but eagle-eyed Buses readers who can tell an Olympian from an Atlantean. They changed its registration from the real-life D276 JVR to WYG 971L, a West Riding of Yorkshire issue from the early summer of 1973. |
