Inside the return of Gavin and Stacey's last 'perfect' episode - and the Nessa and Smithy cliffhanger that's about to be answered, reveals KATIE HIND


When James Corden arrived back in London after eight years in LA, he was looking for an 'enjoyable' project. He had hosted a chat show in the US since 2015 and he was 'bloody knackered'.

The critically acclaimed series, which was first broadcast in 2007, follows the lives of the two titular characters, Gavin from Essex and Stacey from Barry Island, South Wales, documenting key points in their long-distance relationship and events that bring the two families together. His acting career, which for a time he supplemented by working as a DJ, resumed however and he went on to star in film Bad Education with Jack Whitehall and Catherine Tate's The Nan Movie in 2022, based on the character from her BBC Two sketch show. Most recently, he teamed up with Tamzin Outhwaite for a West End run of Michael Frayn's farce, Noises Off, which played at Theatre Royal Haymarket from September to December last year.
