James Corden hits out at ailing TV industry - and names the one show which represents the 'future' - as he admits his years working for US networks made him realise how much the BBC 'needs to be protected'


The Gavin And Stacey star, 46, who recently moved back to the UK, also admitted he missed the BBC whilst living in Los Angeles .

James was dapper in head-to-toe black, showing off some new glasses, while Ruth opted for a £95 emerald green Godiva dress with lace sleeves. While fans tuned into the episode to see whether Smithy had accepted Nessa's proposal from the 2019 Christmas Special, a five-year time jump revealed that he was indeed set to tie the knot, but all was not as it seemed. It was revealed that Smithy had instead got engaged to his girlfriend Sonia, who failed to impress the Shipman/West clan when she met them in the last festive episode, with actress Laura Aikman's return to the show kept a closely-guarded secret.
