Gavin and Stacey fans are in for a treat as cast members are working on a behind-the-scenes documentary to mark the final outing of the hit series.
Stars of the show were spotted back in Barry Island, South Wales last week filming the Christmas special.
James Corden and Ruth Jones have been recording the special documentary as they made the festival episode.
Sources say there’s “loads of lovely footage” of them interacting with fans.

One source said: “When the cameras filming Gavin & Stacey stopped, other cameras went on to film the behind-the-scenes action.
“There was loads of lovely footage for the programme; it has been so special for its viewers.
“James (Corden) is astute and realises that there is a wonderful story to be told about the making of it and what goes on behind the scenes.”
Fans flocked to the Welsh seaside town to snap selfies and Joanna Page, 47, who plays Stacey Shipman, was spotted with a film crew in tow.
The footage is expected to form part of the documentary about the comedy series, which first launched on BBC Three in 2007.
Ruth Jones, Mathew Horne, who plays Gavin Shipman and Rob Brydon, who plays Stacey’s Uncle Bryn, were all spotted filming.
James Corden, who takes on the role of Smithy, 46, said: “It’s all overwhelming, the fact that it’s the last time we’ll be here on the island.

“It’s wonderful. It’s the home of the show.
“It’s the centre of it really, and every bit of it you’re thinking: ‘God, I remember when we were here.’”
The cast shared a snap on the first day of filming of a clapperboard with the caption: “The final episode of Gavin & Stacey started filming today.
“Truth be told, we’re a little bit excited.”
It is the first episode of the hit BBC show since the last Christmas special in 2019, which pulled in 12 million viewers.
Gavin & Stacey ended on a cliffhanger with Nessa down on one knee as she proposed to Smithy.
