David Cameron has urged television bosses to make another series of Welsh comedy hit Gavin and Stacey as he revealed he was a “huge fan”.

At a No 10 reception held to mark St David’s Day, the Prime Minister joked that it was “tidy” to have series star Joanna Page among the guests but pleaded “we need more episodes”.

Mr Cameron, who later “bowed down” before the actress, said: “I’m a huge fan. Like all sitcoms in the United Kingdom it was much too short, we need more episodes.

“It’s an absolutely fantastic piece of work and gave pleasure to absolutely millions.”

Mathew Horne expects a Gavin and Stacey special next year.

He says: “It hasn’t died down – if anything it’s intensified purely because it is on all the time.

“There won’t be another series, but there are talks about something next year, perhaps a Christmas special.

“It’s been mooted but there is no script and no dates, nothing like that.

“It would be lovely to work with everyone else again – as long as the script is right, which inevitably it will be.”

Accoding to Chortle

Plans for a US version of Gavin & Stacey have been shelved, co-writer Ruth Jones believes

‘I haven’t heard any more and I think we would have heard something by now,’ she told TV Choice magazine. ‘I always felt if they made one and it was successful, then that’s great, but if they didn’t, it was never going to detract from the British version.’

According to the Daily Star

he said he would only do a follow-up to the BBC sitcom if the script was funny enough.

“If they good enough, then maybe,” said Rob, 45. “You’ve got to be careful. You’ve got to know when you’ve overstayed your welcome.”

Gavin and Stacey get a GCSE

The Daily Mail says

From September, GCSE pupils in Wales will also be scrutinising the words of Gavin and Stacey stars Ruth Jones and Rob Brydon, as well as TV newsreader Huw Edwards for their English qualifications.

The modern language spoken element of the exam is being introduced by Welsh examining board OCR Cymru.
But the move to introduce TV personalities into GCSE exams has been blasted as ‘dumbing down’ by education campaigners.
