AS the nights draw in and the winds blow, snuggle up on Sunday nights with S4C's brand new romantic comedy drama series - Cara Fi (Love Me).

Call into Tretarw to meet Nancy, Nina, Vic, Dai and the other characters who are guaranteed to get you laughing over the coming months. The fun starts this Sunday, November 9.

"It's a comedy drama, and the very first time I read the script I knew these characters were flesh and blood; there are no stereotypes here," says Christine Pritchard, who plays Nancy Hopkins, landlady of Yr Angor pub in Tretarw.

Joining Christine to play the witty folk of Tretarw are Rhian Jones, Steffan Rhodri, Gareth Pierce, Iwan John, Gaynor Morgan-Rees, Saran Morgan, Gwydion Rhys and others.

"The series is set in Tretarw - a fictional village in the heart of Pembrokeshire," says Christine. Nancy was brought up there and has lived there the whole of her life. She runs the local pub and can see the village dying before her eyes.

"Young people, especially women, are leaving the village to find work, so there aren't many children in the village and the school is about to close. So Nancy decides to take matters into her own hands. It's fair to say she sees herself as a bit of a fixer!"

Without asking their permission first, Nancy puts pictures of each of the village's single men on the side of the Tretarw milk cartons. She then packs them off to shops around England and Wales, with the same heading branded on them all - Cara Fi (Love Me).

To everyone's surprise, it appears that Nancy's scheme has been successful, and every week a new woman arrives in Tretarw looking for love... or something else perhaps? And despite having initially moaned about Nancy's mischievous plan, Vic, Dai, Brian and the others are soon enjoying the company of these women who have been wooed to Tretarw by the milk cartons.

Sarah Lloyd-Gregory, Lisa Jên Brown and Gwawr Loader are some of the actors playing the women who visit Tretarw.

"The situation in Tretarw is true of any rural community across Wales and England -the young people moving away - it's a real problem," says Christine, who's originally from Caernarfon. "But the series doesn't preach, it's witty, funny and very, very clever. As we were filming we all kept saying 'wow, this is good'."

The series was filmed in Little Haven in Pembrokeshire, and despite coming from North Wales and living in Cardiff, the Pembrokeshire area is close to Christine's heart.

"I have a caravan there, and I go there any chance I get! But the big challenge for me with Cara Fi was nailing the Pembrokeshire accent. Despite having spent a lot of time there and having friends from the area, too, it's extremely difficult to imitate the sounds and lilt of Pembrokeshire dialect. I really hope I've done it justice!"

Get ready for plenty of laughs, a few tears and quite a bit of kissing on Cara Fi - S4C, Sunday, November 9, at 9 pm (English and Welsh subtitles)
