The duo chatted away before a cyclist went closely past them prompting Aimee to yell and Taj to throw vegetables after him.
Ahead of filming the scenes, Aimee and Taj wrapped up in long black padded jackets and chatted away to crew members.
The comedy follows Gemma whose life turns upside down after a vacation encounter leaves her pregnant. She must simultaneously handle her pregnancy and help her sad dad Malcolm following his marriage's collapse.
In the upcoming series, it is reported that 18 months after welcoming daughter Sadie she settles into nursery while Gemma receives a promotion at the salon.
The calm is short-lived though when a new romantic encounter brings a fresh wave of chaotic problems, forcing Gemma to turn once again to her hapless dad (David Morrissey).
It comes after fans called for Aimee to be cast as the next Doctor Who, after she starred in a Saturday Night Live UK sketch lampooning the sci-fi series earlier this year.
The actress won rave reviews for her hosting debut on the most recent episode of the sketch show, which saw her feature in a variety of hilarious skits.
But as well as praising her comedic talents, fans also took the opportunity to endorse the White Lotus star as the prospective new Doctor, after her appearance in a parody sketch of the BBC show.
Aimee featured as one of the Doctor's companions in the sketch, while SNL UK star Hammed Animashaun took on the role of the Time Lord, as the pair exited the Tardis to come face to face with an alien.
And viewers couldn't help but suggest that she would make an incredible Doctor or companion on the real series, which currently has no actors attached to the main roles.
They took to X to beg: 'AIMEE LOU WOOD AS THE DOCTOR MAKE IT HAPPEN PLS'; 'Aimee Lou Wood as the Doctor or a companion feels right'; 'She would be a great Doctor!';
'Seeing tons of 'Make Aimee Lou Wood Doctor Who' truthers on the timeline tonight after SNL which is fantasticcccc'; 'She would actually be a fabulous choice!';
'I see a lot of ppl say Aimee Lou Wood would make a great doctor who companion Nah man THATS THE DOCTOR'; 'Wait but Aimee Lou Wood would actually be a stellar companion for Doctor Who';

The BBC comedy is set to be released in 2027 on BBC Three
The star was stopped reading her script and call sheet as she arrived on set
Aimee said of the series: 'I'm so happy to be back with David and the brilliant Daddy Issues cast for one final time. Gemma and Malcolm are one of the funniest comedy double acts'
Aimee and Taj filmed several scenes in the park in Stockport
'So Aimee Lou Wood hosted SNL UK last night and appeared in a Doctor Who sketch. Will be watching this later for sure. I would not be unhappy if she actually got cast as The Doctor ❤️';
'aimee lou wood as the doctor would be insane'; 'Yeah she would knock the companion role out of the park, but she has the talent to take the role of the Doctor and take it to some really good places'.
The last person to star as the famous time traveller was none other than Aimee's friend and former co-star Ncuti Gatwa, with the duo coming to fame together in Netflix hit Sex Education.
Ncuti exited as the 15th Doctor last year, with his iteration of the Time Lord regenerating into Billie Piper, who previously played companion Rose Tyler.
However, Billie's involvement in the show's long-term future remains unclear, with reports claiming that she will not be playing the Doctor on a permanent basis.
The TV series has been paused for an extended break after ending its big budget partnership with Disney+, but the BBC is committed to a 2026 Christmas special.
