Alloa and Sauchie will feature on the hit BBC Scotland show “My Kind of Town” this Thursday at 8pm.
The popular programme follows blind presenter Ian Hamilton and his guide dog Major, as they explore various places across the country.
Thursday's episode gives a platform to Clackmannanshire characters such as Malcolm Robinson, the author who penned a book called The Sauchie Poltergeist (and other Scottish ghostly tales).
One local food spot will also be highlighted on the small screen.
Writing in his Substack blog, Mr Hamilton said: “No Scottish town is complete without an Italian family at its heart. In Alloa it’s the Toma family who own Anna’s Larder.
"You don’t just shop there, you chat, laugh and somehow leave with three cheeses and a cured sausage you don’t remember choosing.”
The Hive Youth Club left a good impression on the crew, with Mr Hamilton commenting that they’ve made it a “space of their own”.
He wrote: “After the interviews, they presented me with an Alloa football shirt. Very kind, though if I ever squeeze into it, I’ll need a bucket of grease and the full film crew to get it off again.”
Other places to feature include Wimpy Park and the Williams Brothers Brewery.
Those who can’t catch the show live can see it afterwards on BBC iPlayer, along with past episodes.
