Stacey’s getting used to being an “Essex wife” but it’s not as exciting as she’d hoped, as the acclaimed comedy written by Ruth Jones and James Corden continues. She bucks up at the weekend, though, as it’s time for a visit to her family home in Barry, South Wales. Whilst there, Smithy goes with Nessa for her scan and they see their little bundle of joy for the first time.

Stacey is played by Joanna Page, Nessa by Ruth Jones, Smithy by James Corden and Gavin by Mathew Horne. Alison Steadman, Rob Brydon, Larry Lamb and Melanie Walters also star.
