The Directors Cut is linked to film director Ridley Scott who lived in Teesside for a period of his life when younger. I was once told there was a plan to name the buses after his films but this didn't happen.
The Captains Tale is named after a film of the same name which was about West Auckland FC's exploits in winning the first World Cup.
Very strange links I know.
