Hold your tongues, gossip-mongers! And may you be fitted with scold's bridles if you tell false tales! Can it really be true? Can Plastic St be returning? We sneaked an interview with creator Lou Treleaven to find out the truth...
Lou: Yes, all the rumours are correct. Plastic St is returning.
Us: I hadn't actually asked you anything yet.
Lou: Yes, yes - I told you, stop pestering me! It's true, all right? This siege by the paparazzi has to stop.
Us: Siege? I just bumped into you in the Co-Op.
Lou: And you can leave my private life out of this as well!
Us: So tell us, as we're here, why did you choose now to come back with more Plastic St?
Lou: Well, as you know, Dame Margaret Montgomery, who plays Granny Gold, has been in rehab, trying to cope with her sudden unexpected success. She was just plucked off the street you know, an obscure, everyday granny -
Us: Ahem. We already revealed in a previous interview that that was a publicity stunt.
Lou: All right, Dame Maggie wanted more cash. Okay? I've had to remortgage my house. But now we're back. The grasping old hag.
Us: Did anyone else have a pay rise? I always thought the vet should have had a bit more to do. He's in the opening credits, after all.
Lou: Yes, but they were filmed when we still had a budget.
Us: So there'll be no special effects this season, then?
Lou: Not quite, but watch out for explosions, special guest stars and... the hand of God!
Us: God? Doesn't He count as a special guest star?
Lou: Not according to Granny Gold's contract.
Us: Fair play.
Halt those ducking stools, the rumours are true! Come back soon for the first of the new episodes, Plastic fans!
