TELEVISION crews will be returning to a Bolton car showroom this weekend to film comedy series Linda Green.
Starstruck staff at Burnden Park Rover dealership will once again be sharing their shop floor with cast member Liza Tarbuck after the first series of the popular programme was shot there.
The dealership, on Manchester Road, was selected by Red Productions as an ideal location to film scenes, where lead character Linda Green works as an administrator.
The BBC spent five weekends in November and December 2000 at the showroom while filming the first series, which aired in spring last year.
As the dealership will be open for business as usual, the film crew will have to work around the staff while they film there every Sunday until the end of the month.
Salesmen and technicians will again be hoping for their 15 minutes of fame when the film crew arrive.
Car sales executive Paul Morris said staff were looking forward to the crews turning up in the town again. He said: "I think that Burnden Park Rover was chosen because the showroom and workshops are so big and bright.
"Last time they were here there was no problem at all, only that we all had to stop talking when they were about to film a shot.
"We're thrilled to have them back. We are looking forward to it."
Red Productions also produced the hit series Queer as Folk and Clocking Off.
