The show is still going strong, and recently revealed that they were filming the Christmas special ahead of season 13! They recently shared a behind-the-scenes clip from filming, which showed the three youngest Turner children, Angela, Teddy and May playing in the snow.
The caption began: "It's something of a tradition for us to be filming our new Christmas Special in unseasonably warm weather – and this year is no different!
"You will be pleased to know that the Spring sunshine hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm of the young Turners for an out-of-season snowball fight! Young stars Alice Brown (Angela), Edward Shaw (Teddy) and April-Rae Hoang were VERY keen to film this particular moment in our festive episode. (Getting them to stop when we said 'cut' was a little more tricky," the post continued, adding a winking face.

Stephen McGann has already opened up about what to expect from the Christmas special, telling RadioTimes.com: "It has a different feel; it's a different audience, people are staying home with their families and so it's a different vibe. It's also the thing that brings us into a new season. It has all those elements and over the years, we've all gotten used to that rhythm."
However, season 13 will be somewhat bittersweet, as Leonie Elliott has confirmed that she won't be returning to the series. Announcing that she wouldn't be back in her popular role as Lucille in a post back in March, Leonie wrote: ""Having spent 6 years on a truly wonderful show, with a fantastic team I have fallen deeper and deeper in love with Lucille. I feel honoured to have represented the pioneering Windrush generation and their incredible impact on British society."
