    Finally getting a chance to start watching the current serious true detective, first episode was odd to say the least.

    Looking forward to seeing where ths one goes.

    It's set at Christmas by the way!

    So there is still hope for Gavin and Stacey.....

    Ruth Jones is in Sister Act the musical but is set to miss the entire month of May.

    The last Christmas special was filmed in May that year too.

    Apparently they want to keep the filming a secret to avoid,leaks,spoilers as the public know where they film, given the popularity of the show.

    All rumours but isn't it exciting to be thinking it could happen haha.

    With James Corden back in the UK I can see a special happening sooner rather than later.

    I really hope we have a Gavin & Stacey special this year 🤞🏻.


    Was only thinking the other day my child is only one now, by the time she could probably appreciate something like Gavin & Stacey she would be about 15 maybe? I dunno? But anyway that would mean G & S would have first aired 30 yrs before then. Nuts to think of and I wonder would she even care about a program that old.


    One of the bad things about waiting until I was 38 to have a child is this worry that I will be so old and outdated with everything I like towards her.


    Anyway a bit off topic. Sorry about that!

    Ah I'm sure she will - our parents likes tend to rub off on us. Plus think about how many people are still watching the likes of Only Fools & Horses, Porridge etc. Good TV will stand the test of time!

    I've caught bits of each series/episodes loads of times on the the re-runs on W/Gold/Dave now, but there is something about the 2 Christmas specials that require me to plan a night to sit down & watch them. I generally leave them until the build up now though as they're a treat for me in the run up to Christmas.

    Favourite scene of mine is when Smithy is singing Band Aid down the phone to Gav and the following scene in the car. Hilarious his reaction when Gav sings along ha.

    My favourite is when Mick plays Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas on his new keyboard at the end of the first Christmas special.

    Have you seen the behind the scenes documentary on that special?

    It’s called the 12 days of Gavin and Stacey and it’s on the dvd extras and UKGold replay it from time to time.

    As soon as mick stopped playing the piano they called cut and most of the cast burst into tears as at the time they weren’t sure they’d ever see each other again. I remember watching it and getting misty eyed watching that clip as they just seems to love working together.

    Thats right, the last series hadn't been commissioned at that point. Remember seeing that behind the scenes extra years ago, must dig out the dvd and watch it again.

    Any fans of GBBO, the SU2C specials start back on Sunday 17th March on Channel 4.

    Will definitely be watching these, love bake off. Next time we see the tent after these will be the normal season in September when we're into double digits on the countdown. Always a solid stepping stone on the build up to Christmas.

    Woo hoo! Finally another episode. I wasn't fully convinced by Ruth Jones's denial earlier in the year!

    I think this time around there were too many clues, especially with Ruth Jones booking time off from her play exactly when filming would need to start. The stuff on Imdb too and the different sources were aplenty. Last time it was completely out of the blue and a real surprise, but that cliff hanger meant a finale was always going to be as a possibility.

    I for one can't wait!

    Have to say, all the stuff on social media since they made the announcement has been fantastic. Great to see the levels of excitement out there. Fingers crossed they close it out well.

    Yes, I really hope it's a strong ending. When a show ends badly, has a really poor quality comeback years later (Only Fools and Horses and Arrested Development, I'm looking at you) or nosedives in the later years (like 95% of American shows) it spoils the whole thing for me.

    agree. always said they should have left OFAH alone with them becoming millionaires. The specials after they lost it all were a drop in standard IMO and whilst they didn't ruin the entire show for me did tarnish it just a little.

    I've loved G&S from the start & would hate to see the ending not be a high point.
