James Corden reveals how he and Ruth Jones 'gave up' on Gavin & Stacey during writing for 'terrible' 2019 Christmas special


James Corden has revealed that he and Ruth Jones nearly 'gave up' on bringing Gavin & Stacey back for the 2019 Christmas special as it was originally 'terrible'.

The creators, who play Smithy and Nessa on the hit BBC series, opened up about reuniting ahead of the first comeback in 2019 during A Fond Farewell documentary on Wednesday. The series, which debuted back in 2007 after being created by stars James Corden and Ruth Jones, concluded with on/off lovers Smithy and Nessa finally declaring their love for one another and tying the knot, but not without a few hiccups along the way. Smithy was originally set to wed his girlfriend Sonia, with it revealed he'd never given an answer to Nessa's proposal, which provided the cliffhanger to the show's 2019 Christmas Special.
