Everyone is saying the same thing after the BBC confirmed it was axing Welsh comedy, The Tuckers

Fans of beloved Welsh comedy series The Tuckers say the BBC has "made a mistake" in axing the brilliant series. The programme, which began in 2020 and ran for three series, followed the close-knit Tucker family through the trials and tribulations of everyday life running a catering business - and had viewers in hysterics every episode.

The Tuckers was filmed in the Aber Valley above Caerphilly and starred Steve Speirs and Lynn Hunter as Glyn and Peggy Tucker respectively. Earlier on Thursday, May 4, the BBC confirmed the series was finishing to make way for a "brand-new comedy series".

A statement from the network said: "We'd like to thank the series' creator, writer and actor Steve Speirs for bringing the Tuckers to life as well as the incredible all-Welsh cast who brought the close-knit family of loveable rogues to our screens. After three series we bid the characters farewell and look forward to announcing some brand-new comedy series soon."
