Kershaw’s Plants are to star alongside the Fonz in a new BBC drama

Kershaw’s Garden Centre in Brighouse are supplying a selection of plants to be used in a new drama for CBBC currently being filmed in Halifax.

Henry Winkler, best known for playing The Fonz in American comedy Happy Days, will appear in the new CBBC series.

The comedy drama has been adapted from the book series Hank Zipzer: The World's Greatest Underachiever, written by Winkler with Lin Oliver.

The series, titled Hank Zipzer, focuses on a smart 12-year-old boy who often gets into trouble. Like Winkler in real life, Hank also has dyslexia.

CBBC executive producer Sue Nott said: "The stories are inspired by the true life experiences of Henry Winkler and how he felt growing up with dyslexia.

"At CBBC, we try to reflect the lives of children back at them and Hank Zipzer shows that achievement comes in all shapes and sizes - and it's set to be very funny too!"

The series featuring the Brighouse plants will be shown in the new year when Kershaws will be celebrating their 150th anniversary.
