Last Tuesday evening's meeting of Cumbernauld Community Forum saw the cameras roll in to film the group which has joined forces with North Lanarkshire Council to restore civic pride in Cumbernauld through the creation of a new town centre.
A familiar face had been invited along as a guest speaker - Glasgow architect Gordon Murray who appeared on the Channel 4 show as part of a team of experts who came up with ideas as how the existing area could be improved.
A spokesperson for the show said: "The series was originally commissioned with a follow-up in mind - at this point in time, we cannot say if this will definitely go ahead.
"But we have had such a positive response to the programme that we felt that we wanted to come back and observe what was happening here at the meeting,'' she added.
That meeting was judged a success as it was felt that a lot of locals had been able to discuss their various concerns about the existing town centre, including the high instance of shop closures which have dogged both Phase 4 and the upstairs portion of the centre so far this year.
In the last week, this has included designer discount chain Colors - although it has emerged that Shoe Express has had a brief stay of execution and will remain open until next month.
Chairperson of CCF Tom Reilly said: "The message is clear that Cumbernauld Town Centre was unique and had been very modern for its day - but it now requires a new overall strategy and vision to give the town centre civic pride.
"A small sub group of the forum has agreed to work with North Lanarkshire Council to take matters forward. An initial meeting called with the council to obtain as much information on the present situation as possible is also being arranged with the developer of the Antonine Centre."
Members are also pressing for a model of the £55 million development to go on show locally - with the existing Town Centre or Cumbernauld Library being cited as ideal locations for the display.
