Alison Steadman to host online Gavin & Stacey quiz this week

Carl Kinsella

Gavin Stacey

Oh my Christ.

Alison Steadman, beloved for her role as Pam Shipman in BBC comedy Gavin & Stacey, will be hosting a quiz all about Gavin & Stacey online this Thursday.

We were blessed with a special reunion episode last Christmas, but it seems unlikely that there will be any filming done on a follow-up at any point this year. Still, we’ll accept some screen-time with Pam if that’s all we can get.

Not only that, but the quiz is for a good cause — the UK’s Marie Curie charity which provides care and support to those suffering from terminal illness. Donating is optional, but those who donate will be entered into a draw to win a prize.

  • Click “Interested” or “Going” on the Marie Curie Facebook page.
  • Form a team.
  • Join Marie Curie on Tiltify.
  • Make a donation to help Marie Curie nurses and hospices, if you can.
  • Mark yourself (no cheating!)
  • Use the comment box to chat to Steadman and mark your scores.

Hopefully she’s a better pub quiz host than Smithy is. The quiz kicks off at 8.15pm on Thursday (21 May).
