Christmas has come early to one Barry street as the town prepares to welcome back the stars of hit comedy Gavin & Stacey.
The decorations are going up on Uncle Bryn's house in the town's Trinity Street as filming on the December special is set to being on Friday evening.
A light-up Santa and other decorations have been put up on the outside wall of the terraced house.
Co-creator James Corden has said that the decision to return to Barry came after 10 years of talking about what the likes of Ness, Bryn and Gwen would be up to now.
In a statement, he and Ruth Jones said: "Over the last 10 years we’ve talked a lot about Gavin & Stacey - where they might be today and what their lives might look like.
"And so in secret we took the plunge and wrote this one hour special. We’ve loved revisiting Barry and Essex again and bringing the characters back together has been a joy.
"We’re so excited to get the chance to work with our fabulous cast and crew once more and to give fans of the show a festive treat this Christmas. Thank you BBC for helping to make this happen.”
It is understood that interior filming will take place on Friday afternoon and evening.
Over the weekend there will then be road closures around Trinity Street to allow for outside filming, which will take place mainly during the hours of darkness.
The closure will be from Jenner Road down to Princess Street, while filming taking place on Trinity Street, through to Wenvoe Terrace, Montgomery and Porthkerry Road.
The production company told local residents: "It will be when many residents will be sleeping. There will be a cherry picker with a high platform carrying a large lamp on it to light a section of Trinity Street.
"There will of course be a certain amount of noise, but rest assured, we will do whatever we can to ensure that disturbance is kept to a minimum."
