Brian said: ‘The Heartbeat production used the interior of our Post Office as a tobacconist and news agent several times over the years.
‘They used to take our stuff out and put theirs in, and we would continue to operate as a Post Office around the production.
‘We were like a big family – it was a great experience being here with the cast and crew.’
