Alison Steadman reveals Gavin And Stacey was only written after she agreed to do the show as she admits the pilot 'just made her laugh so much'


The television veteran, 78, plays Pam Shipman in the BBC Three comedy series from 2007 until 2010 - and for its 2019 and 2024 Christmas specials.

The show returned in 2019 for a festive special which ended on a cliffhanger which Nessa Jenkins proposed to Neil 'Smithy' Smith and will be back on screen over the upcoming Christmas period to answer all questions. Filming for the series finale first began on September 2, and since then the cast have been pictured in a string of locations, including the famous Barry Island in Wales, which takes centre stage in the iconic comedy. The cast recently confirmed that they had finished filming scenes on the famous Trinity Street, which acts as the backdrop for the homes of both Stacey and Gavin, her mother Gwen and uncle Bryn.
