The event featured here is the 1971 London-Brighton Historic Commercials Run.

"The people in costume are probably television presenters Mick Robertson and Jenny Hanley" - the man is actually Magpie presenter Tony Bastable. Furthermore the woman is unlikely to be Jenny Hanley, as she didn't join Magpie for another 3 years.
The fire engine they're on, (Reg. No. ED 810), is a 1914 Dennis "N" Type.
Car seen at 15:36, (Reg. No. DGU 610), is a 1927 Morris Commercial light van.
