Another television crew has been sighted shooting in the streets of Penarth over the past few days.

This time, the town is serving as the backdrop of an upcoming S4C drama called Yr Amgueddfa, or The Museum.

According to the channel, Yr Amgueddfa belongs to a brand new genre of its own - a "heritage thriller".

Coming to our screens in the spring, the show is predominately set in the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff – and takes us into the dark and dangerous world of art crime.

But local viewers should also be on the lookout for shots of Penarth, with Stanwell Road (specifically the doorway of Rowley's Jewellers) featuring so far.

In a press release, S4C provided the following synopsis:

"Dela (Nia Roberts) is a successful woman – a faithful wife to her husband ALUN (Steffan Rhodri) and a loving mother to two children Daniel (Samuel Morgan-Davies) and Mags (Mared Jarman). She has just accepted the post of director general of the museum and life is good.

"On the same night that she is celebrating her new job in a party at the museum, she meets a young man Caleb (Steffan Cennydd), who has come along as the guest of her gay son Daniel.

"Dela is totally entranced by Caleb and falls into a passionate relationship with him. But Dela soon discovers that Caleb has some more sinister reasons for beginning a relationship with her..."

Bafta Award-winning author Fflur Dafydd has created and scripted Yr Amgueddfa and she is working once again with the experienced director Paul Jones who has produced dramas including 35 Awr, Con Passionate, Martha, Jac a Sianco and Parch.

Fflur said: "It's nice to be able to draw attention to Wales's institutions in a more creative way. It is some sort of mission in my work – going after things which feel a little bit invisible even though they are huge and important.

"Through the heritage thriller genre it feels that I am creating something which is totally unique to Wales, and because conventional thrillers are becoming a little bit old-hat, it's quite nice to go after crime in the art world, where there are excitement and secrets of a different sort."

Paul Jones from Boom, the production company said: "I remember as a young child being dragged by the scruff of my neck through the National Museum's lofty galleries and then in my teenage years the galleries were a place to shelter from the rain on many a Saturday afternoon.

"Now with Yr Amgueddfa, I have the opportunity to visit once again, but this time creating a drama full of deception and plotting within its walls."

This comes after Nub News last week reported that Netflix was filming its third series of the comedy-drama Sex Education.

Paparazzi for the Daily Mail arrived shortly afterwards, comically confusing Yr Amgueddfa actress Hanna Jarman for a Sex Education cast member.

Jarman then posted the following on Twitter:

"Guys, I've FINALLY been papped by the daily mail. I mean they got it completely wrong... but guys, PAPPED!

"I'd like to thank my friends and family, my agent, everyone who's believed in me all these years. Thanks for letting me share this special day with you all."
