BBC Full House: The thriving valleys bingo hall at the centre of a new TV show and the people who love it there

The south Wales valleys are known for their tight-knit and strong communities, now a new BBC Wales show, Full House, explores one venue in the Rhondda Valleys at the heart of one of those communities and gets to know the people who visit there - Tonypandy's bingo hall Judges.

While the imposing building next to the railway station may not look much from the outside, Judges is a hive of fun activity on the inside. From grandparents and grandchildren, to work dos and parents escaping the night for a date, everyone and anyone can enjoy a night at this bingo hall.

But Full House, which begins on Friday, September 23 at 8.50pm on BBC One Wales, is not just about bingo, but it gives us a glimpse into the daily lives and stories of those who visit and as you'd expect, there's some emotional stories to be found, including that of young tattoo artist, Tammy, who's experiencing early menopause and a hard-working couple who run a cleaning business, inspired by the death of a someone very close to them.
