 Wright (-> w-shaped radiator), definitely.

 A Wright indeed. The type could be a Pathfinder, an Axcess, a Cadet, a Liberator...

I know Top Gear is filmed around Guildford, in Surrey. If this scene is indeed shot in the area, Arriva West Surrey operates Wright Cadets.

But that's just a supposition. It could be shot anywhere in the UK.

 If I believe my book on London bus, the Wright Pathfinder is made on Dennis Dart basis

 Except this isn't a London bus (Arriva London buses are red). It'd be easier to identify if someone saw the destination on the windscreen.

 I see the last digit of the route number is 2. Could the whole number be 42 ? Because Route 42 of Arriva West Surrey is the only one that stops at Dunsfold, the village located near Top Gear's "secret base".

 The make of chassis is rather a Dutch DAF or VDL (the Arriva is also an importer of VDL if I'm not wrong?), model can be a SB100 or SB200.

Is that soo? We have arriva busses here too. And most of them are Dennis or Wright (Comander?)...

Well, I searched again, and the windows are narrower on this bus than on other Wrights like the Pathfinder. This suggests a midibus, and there are several possibilities :

- Wright Cadet, based on a VDL SB120 chassis.

- Volvo Midi Merit, which is a Cadet with VDL chassis, but sold by Volvo ! Link to "www.volvo.com"

- Wright Crusader, with a Dennis chassis.

But, as Arriva is indeed the VDL importer for the UK, it's probably a Cadet. :)

 How do we list that then?
Wright Caded? or VDL SB 120? or the Volvo ?

 List by chassis as is usual for UK buses. If you can go back a couple of frames and get the registration........

 Where I live Travel West Midlands operate Crusaders, Endurances and Liberators, all Volvos, but TWM belongs to National Express. Some of the smaller operators have Wright bodies on DAF and Dennis chassis.

 Its not a Midibus, Denis dart, Volvo B6, Wright Cadet, it has full size wheels.

 C'est sûr: c'est un Wright!
Mais en l' absence du châssis, va savoir...

 Name this as Wright Cadet bodied VDL SB, Wright Cadet is only
the body. Chassis is clearly identified as VDL SB...
