From their famous onscreen relationship in Gavin and Stacey to their heart-warming offscreen friendship, viewers will see the duo stop off at places that have special meaning to them both.
Steadman said: "I can't wait to take this trip down memory lane to explore Pam and Mick's neck of the woods, as well as so many other locations precious to me.
"And who better to do it with than Larry! I'm so excited to be reunited."
Across three episodes, Alison and Larry will make the 210-mile journey whilst stopping off at beauty spots in the countryside and visiting locations with an intimate connection to them and Gavin and Stacey.
In addition to taking part in activities designed to unleash their inner 'Pam and Mick', they'll get the chance to meet up with old friends from the show along the way.
Lamb added: "I am really looking forward to reminiscing with Alison whilst taking the trip from Billericay to Barry, it was such a huge part in the plot of Gavin and Stacey.
