Llinos Griffin-Williams, S4C's chief content officer, said: "I'm so excited that this amazingly successful series is coming to S4C. It's a great pleasure to have Gogglebocs Cymru as part of S4C's 40th celebrations. It's a fantastic TV format, which has captured the nation's imagination.

"What better than a programme that brings us Welsh talent at grassroots level? Gogglebocs Cymru will extend a warm welcome into households around the country and beyond. We will meet several characters who reflect contemporary Wales in all its glory, new faces that give our diverse communities a voice."

Gogglebocs Cymru launches at 9pm on Wednesday, November 2 on S4C in the Welsh language, with English subtitles available. For UK viewers outside of Wales, S4C can be accessed on Sky channel 134, Freesat channel 120, Virgin Media channel 166 or through the BBC iPlayer.
