Get your popcorn ready - a sitcom by Rhiwbina's Carys Thomas streams this week

Carys, who grew up on Lon y Deri and went to Whitchurch High School, is a former winner of the BAFTA Rocliffe award for aspiring writers.

The British Comedy Guide reports that Misguided is set around teenagers in a Girlguiding group in Cardiff and is the latest pilot in Channel 4's Comedy Blaps series.

It follows former popular girl and full-time rebel Rhiannon as she's forced to join a deeply uncool Guide group.

"There she reluctantly befriends straight-A student Kate, hormone-addled Libby, and the permanently unimpressed Nisha. Determined to reclaim her reputation and reunite with her old mates, she sneaks off in search of a new hangout spot - 'the log' - with disastrous consequences", The British Comedy Guide states.

The show stars Lauren Morais, Nerys Amber Stocks, Meg Alexandra, Nia Gandhi, Sarah Hadland, Mike Bubbins, and Elis James.

The article quotes Carys as saying: "Going from entering BAFTA Rocliffe to seeing these characters brought to life has been a truly wild experience.

"It's been a joy to channel all the chaos and hilarity of my teenage years in Cardiff into Misguided, and to work with incredible up and coming Welsh talent to bring it to the screen.

"As a lifelong lover of British comedy, working with Channel 4 and Objective on this has been a dream. The whole team has been amazing, and I can't wait for everyone to meet Rhi, Kate, Nisha and Libby!"
