A HOST of road closures have been announced in Barry and Dinas Powys on streets which have a connection to a certain popular TV sitcom...

Road closures have been announced throughout September on streets including Trinity Street - home of Stacey's mum Gwen, and Laburnam Way, famous for being the place that doubles up as Essex - home to Gavin's mum and dad Mick and Pam.

Social media has been abuzz in recent months as the creators of Gavin and Stacey finally confirmed the news of the show's return earlier this year.

James Corden (who plays the character of Smithy) announced the show's return at Christmas via his Instagram, with filming taking place in September and October 2024.

BBC’s media centre also confirmed the return of the show, saying: “Something's occurring this Christmas on iPlayer and BBC One”, before going on to quote Smithy’s famous takeaway order: “We’ll have a chicken bhuna, lamb bhuna, prawn bhuna, mushroom rice, bag of chips, keema naan, nine poppadoms and the last ever episode of Gavin and Stacey!!!”

**SPOILER**

The programme, which aired between 2007 and 2010, returned in 2019 for a festive episode that ended with Nessa getting down on one knee in Barry Island to propose to Smithy.
