A new TV drama filmed on Anglesey aired last night - and it left a lot of viewers in the region feeling pretty unimpressed.
Pitching In debuted on BBC One Wales at 9pm on Tuesday 12, and saw Gavin and Stacey stars Larry Lamb and Melanie Walters reunite for, what producers describe as, a family drama with heart.
The new series, produced by Liverpool-based LA Productions , follows North Wales holiday camp owner Frank (Larry) who contemplates selling up, after the death of his Welsh wife.
Last night's first episode introduced viewers to the tight-knit community around the Londoner, who threw him a surprise birthday party which brought his daughter Carys (Caroline Sheen) back to the region.
Over the course of the four-part series, which is ambiguously set somewhere in North Wales, Frank's daughter will suggest exciting ways on how to revamp the holiday park - with some entertaining attempts set to be in store.
And whilst Pitching In's filming location of North Wales has been praised as a welcomed change, many viewers were left fuming after the first episode.
Although some viewers found the storyline "a bit naff," it was the lack of North Wales accents in the programme that most took issue with.
One critical viewer said that the "most unforgivable thing" about Pitching In was "casting loads of South Wales actors, who all proceed to attempt North Wales accents."
This sentiment was shared by many others, with some calling it a "missed opportunity" and others branding the accents "all over the place."
Posting on social media, one viewer questioned: "Surely we have actors in North Wales, fresh new faces and no over pronunciation of our accent?"
Whilst another said there was "no excuse" for not using local talent, adding that "there's not a single North Walian accent amongst the supposed natives."
And the first episode led one viewer to joke that "Anglesey slipped it's moring and floated south, judging by the accents."
But during a visit to the set in September, North Wales Live were told by the cast that the programme wanted to show a diverse North Wales.
Larry explained that part of what interested him about the show was that it "focused on what goes on in a little, isolated community that's made up of a whole range of different people from throughout the UK."
Viewers however remain critical, with another having suggested that Pitching In was an attempt to "appeal to [BBC Wales'] core audience of Valleys pensioners and English retirees."
One viewer also joked that it would be like "the entire Byker Grove cast being dumped in Albert Square."
Others even went as far as saying that the series was "quite insulting towards the people of Anglesey."
Another social media user joked that BBC Wales had "achieved the incredible feat of uniting the country," because everyone "seems to be in agreement" that Pitching In wasn't very good.
Whilst one poster said the lack of North Wales representation was a common theme on TV, asking: "Why does every programme to do with Wales have nothing but south Wales accent?"

Others thought there wasn't even enough Welsh in the show, with one saying there was "nothing Welsh about it apart from the location."
Another said that "there was more Welsh in Star Trek ," whilst another said it was very "Anglocentric."
But despite the critical reception amongst viewers, some praised the programme for getting the local region on TV.
Posting on social media, many viewers expressed their excitement at being able to place spot during the episode, with one fan adding that they "can't wait for next week."
Some even warned against taking the show so seriously, with one commenting: "Yes the accents were wrong, but it's just a light hearted tale about a caravan park, not for the Baftas."
And there were even viewers who enjoyed the first installment of the four-part series, with one explaining that: "It was brill."
Another said they "really enjoyed" the episode, and found the characters to be "real" - suspecting that they are "going to care about [them] a lot."
What did you think of the new BBC Wales programme though?
