But there are others who believe Allt-na-Reigh should quietly vanish and the site left to go wild.Photographer, film-maker and long-time mountaineer John Cleare first came across the cottage in 1952.

He says for a long time it was a quaint and well-known landmark - a symbol suggesting that "at last you’d reached Glen Coe"."I was a schoolboy on a motorbike from Surrey," says John of the first time he set eyes on the place."This was the promised land."

John later became close friends with Dr Hamish MacInnes., climbed the Matterhorn in the Alps when he was just 16, formed mountain rescue teams, invented ice axes and a rescue stretcher and wrote extensively about Scotland's mountains.

John photographed his friend in his workshop at Allt-na-Reigh for a magazine article in 1968.

"I have only good vibes of the place. I knew nothing of the Savile era," says John."Everyone knows a Gwen, who is very particular about things, while everyone knows a Nessa, someone who you would call if you were in trouble."

Laura said there are no other comedy shows that represent Wales with quite the same impact, and re-watching the show still makes her emotional now."It was the absolute perfect ending, especially with the thanks to the people of Barry. I was bawling my eyes out on Christmas day," she said.

Laura said she can see people re-watching the show for years to come.If you're in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, and the surrounding areas, the figures also suggest you're 29% more likely to have watched the finale on BBC iPlayer.
