Gavin and Stacey

Mick becomes a minor celebrity for the night and Stacey and Gavin start house-hunting, as the acclaimed comedy written by Ruth Jones and James Corden continues. Nessa visits Stacey and shows the others a thing or two at the bowling alley, but tensions between the newlyweds come to a head at the end of the night, and the embarrassed friends take solace in some corn on the cob.

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

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.

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.

It’s back to Billericay for the second episode of Gavin & Stacey, written by Ruth Jones and James Corden.

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

THE festive season has already begun in Barry with the start of filming in the town for the Christmas special edition of the hit sitcom Gavin and Stacey.

The cast and crew of the Barry-based show have been seen all around the town filming what promises to be a Christmas television highlight.

Critically acclaimed across the board and recipient of three British Comedy Awards and The South Bank Show Award for Comedy, the hugely successful Gavin & Stacey, written by James Corden and Ruth Jones, comes to BBC One, following its BBC Three airing earlier in the year.

Now if this doesn’t convince them to make a third series, nothing will!

The SUN have pictures from this Christmas’s Special Gavin and Stacey episode, possible the last.

According to Beth Hilton, Entertainment Reporter at digitalspy.co.uk, there is not going to be a new series of G & S next year.

Ruth Jones has admitted that she and James Corden are “too busy” to write a third series of Gavin & Stacey.

The pair are currently working on separate projects and cannot fit the BAFTA-winning comedy into their schedule.

Jones, who is shooting a BBC adaptation of Dickens novel Little Dorrit, is quoted as saying: “We’ve no plans for another series at the moment as it’s difficult for me and James to get together.”

However, she insisted that another run is a possibility, saying: “We’re not ruling it out but it would have to be a really good idea and a really good story.”

A Christmas special of the BBC Three sitcom will be filmed next month.
