VIEWERS tuning in to a new series next week might recognise a Keynsham garden centre in some scenes. Actors Anna Friel and Daniel Mays rolled their sleeves up for the scenes in the drama Public Enemies, which were filmed at Whitegate Nurseries in the summer. "It'll be lovely to see what the crew spent three days filming here back in June," says Dave Morris, who owns the Stockwood Hill nursery with his wife Clare. "We were first contacted by the production company, Tiger Aspect, earlier in the year after the director of the three-part drama saw the garden centre while taking a shortcut up the hill from Keynsham to Stockwood. "It turns out she had been looking for a traditional-looking plant nursery for weeks, which could act as a location for the scenes - all the big modern garden centres were a bit too characterless and clinical. We were very happy to help. We didn't have to close the nursery, the crew got on with the filming in a corner of the nurseries, while customers carried on shopping as usual.

"People knew something was being filmed, because all the crew's lorries had rather taken over the car park. But everyone was just happy to have a peek through to see if they could catch a glimpse of Anna Friel or Daniel Mays at work."
