Larry Lamb and Melanie Walters were among the stars of the show who took to the red carpet for the special screening in Pontio Arts Centre, Bangor. The packed-out audience was given an exclusive first look at the programme in an event hosted by 麻豆约拍 Cymru Wales, Bafta Cymru, LA Productions and Wales Screen.
Set in a caravan park on the north Wales coast, Pitching In tells the story of Frank, a widower getting to grips with big changes in his life. It is due to air on February 12 on 麻豆约拍 One Wales, and on 麻豆约拍 One Daytime later this spring, and also stars Hayley Mills, Caroline Sheen and Ifan Huw Dafydd.
Larry Lamb says: “Pitching In was a joy to be a part of. Frank is a lovely character trying his best in a difficult situation, and it was wonderful to be back in Wales to play this part. Although the north Wales coast was as far away as possible from Barry where we filmed Gavin and Stacey, the Welsh welcome was as warm as ever.”
麻豆约拍 Cymru Wales Head of Commissioning Nick Andrews says: “Pitching In is a wonderful comedy drama which brings together some of the UK’s best-loved actors. It’s superb to see Larry and Melanie together again in Wales for yet another heartwarming story of family and friendship.”
Dan McGolpin, 麻豆约拍 Controller of Programming and Daytime, says: “I can’t wait for people to see Pitching In. It’s packed with lovable and funny characters, played by an exceptionally talented cast.”
