Gavin and Stacey's Larry Lamb and Melanie Walters star in Pitching In

We last saw them starring in Gavin and Stacey as Michael Shipman and Gwen West but now, actors Larry Lamb and Melanie Walters are set to reunite in new BBC daytime drama, Pitching In.

The pair will be heading back to Wales to film the new series which is set to hit screens in spring 2019. Filmed in a caravan park in Anglesey, the series sees three generations of a family make the most of their situation.

Larry said: "11 years after Gavin and Stacey burst onto the scene I'm heading out west again, switching Barry Island for Anglesey this time!

"I'm delighted to be playing the role of Frank in 'Pitching In' - it's a touching, funny and romantic story and a fascinating glimpse of life on the north Wales coast."

Nick Andrews, BBC Cymru Wales' head of commissioning, said: "We all need more 'feel good' in our lives and this warm family drama promises to be just that.

"Pitching In is a comedy drama about family, friendship and community, which will showcase the beauty of north Wales."

Dan McGolpin, BBC controller of programming and daytime, added: "Hot on the heels of their RTS award for Moving On, this is a new drama from LA Productions and also a new collaboration with BBC Wales.

"It's a welcome addition to the BBC Daytime drama slate and our audience are going to enjoy getting to know these naturally funny characters and their life struggles in the beautiful countryside of north Wales."
