Fans of hit TV show Gavin and Stacey are so keen to see "what's occurring" where the show is filmed they have boosted trade in the town by 25%.
And the verdict on Barry, the south Wales seaside town which is home for actress Joanna Page's character Stacey, is that it's a "tidy" place for a holiday.
One local councillor is even keen for a themed tour of landmarks featured in the romantic sitcom to be set up for visitors.
Claire Evans, tourism and marketing officer at Vale of Glamorgan Council, said: "Well, I won't lie to you, Gavin and Stacey has had a huge effect on Barry, helping to put it on the map.”
