I've been watching the ITV series "A Spy Among Friends" from 2022 about the spy Kim Philby. It's very good and very atmospheric of the early 1960s.

But there's a couple of details that have been really bugging me.
The buses in the London scenes.
Some of them don't have adverts - which is wrong.
And one I had to look up - some of the buses have a white disc painted on the back. This seems to have been a thing in the 1940s to do with blackout - I can find no images with these discs from the 50s or 60s on buses (London Transport Museum archives)

Bus nerd or what?

Really enjoyed the London Transport Museum #HiddenLondon tour of Kingsway Tram Subway yesterday, giving me an insight into the network of trams that offered affordable travel across London until the '50s. The subway connected the north and south networks. More on Flickr here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAGxZZ
