Devastating news.
Gavin and Stacey is one of the most loved comedies this side of the Atlantic and yesterday reports emerged suggesting it was coming back for a new Christmas special.
Deadline broke the news, claiming that the show, written by James Corden and Ruth Jones, will be filming another episode this summer to air over Christmas.
They also reported that the show is in development and cameras will roll in a few months time on the show.
Now, however, it appears the reports were wrong, with Ruth Jones telling RTE that it’s the first she’s heard of it.
Discussing the reports on RTE Radio 1 today, Jones asked: “Where’s this come from?”
She added: “James and I went for lunch – when he back from America – and we got papped, and the next thing was ‘Oh, they must be doing more Gavin & Stacey!’
“Which is lovely! It’s lovely that people love it and they’re so desperate for it. Imagine if it was the opposite and they were like, ‘Oh god! They’re not bringing that back?’
“So it’s suddenly a rumour. I don’t know what to say. All I can says is, if there was something to say, on that front, James and I would happily announce it. We would. But some random journalist, who’s decided to write this story . . . I’m lost for words.”
Well that’s the end of that then.
