Gavin & Stacey REUNION?! Ruth Jones Drops HUGE Hint!

BBG News

On Sunday, tears brimmed in Ruth Jones’ eyes as she received the award for Best Actress at the British Academy Television Awards, honoring her remarkable performance in the final episode of Gavin and Stacey.

During the glamorous ceremony, the 58-year-old actress who portrayed Nessa on the show was given the award for Outstanding Female Performance in Comedy. Upon accepting the prize, she acknowledged her long-term friend and collaborator, James Corden.

In a manner reminiscent of her famous character, she humbly received the accolade, admitting surprise about winning the award and subtly mentioning upcoming collaborative literary endeavors with her costar.

The humorists received a nomination for the unforgettable moment in the last episode of Gavin & Stacey, titled “The Finale,” where Mick unexpectedly stood up during Smithy’s wedding.

It seems they’re still working on it, with Ruth, who embodied grace in a stunning electric blue dress, expressing her admiration for their shared artistic skill.

Upon receiving the award, she expressed her surprise, stating, “I must admit, I didn’t anticipate this, so I’d like to express my gratitude to my exceptional co-stars.

A heartfelt appreciation goes out to the BBC! An exceptional organization that I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous times, and one I hold in great esteem.

The individual I’m incredibly grateful towards is my exceptionally dear, gracious, gifted, humorous friend, James Corden. For the past 17 years, we’ve experienced an extraordinary journey together, and it’s hard to imagine Vanessa Shanessa Jenson without his presence by my side.

‘I love you James, I love writing with you, long may it continue.’

17 long years since that iconic BBC comedy graced our screens for the very first time, I, as an obsessed fan, couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and sadness as Gavin and Stacey wrapped up their extraordinary journey with a heartwarming Christmas special. The ‘perfect’ conclusion left fans like me in awe, eager to share our gratitude for the incredible ride we’ve been on together.

Originating in 2007 following creation by actors James and Ruth, this series came to an end as on-again-off-again lovers Smithy and Nessa publicly proclaimed their affection and got married. However, the journey wasn’t without its bumps in the road.

Viewers eagerly anticipated if Smithy would agree to Nessa’s proposal in the 2019 Christmas Special episode. However, a surprising five-year leap forward showed that they were indeed planning to get married, but things weren’t as straightforward as they appeared.

In other news, the candidates for the P&O Cruises Memorable Moment Award at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards have been revealed.

Six highly praised television series from this year, including Gavin and Stacey, The Traitors, and Bridgton, will compete for one of the night’s top honors in the awards ceremony.

In this particular category, it’s only here that the public gets a chance to express their preference and cast their votes for their most loved scene.

The Television BAFTAs held last year attracted approximately 2.7 million viewers on BBC One and iPlayer, while the event’s social media coverage amassed more than 7 million views.

For the very first time since its 20-year run, Strictly Come Dancing has not received a nomination in other award categories.

Yearly since the revamped show debuted in 2004, the beloved BBC pick has consistently been put forward for the Entertainment Program award.

babyReindeer, the hit series on Netflix, received an impressive eight nominations, making it the frontrunner, thanks to its widespread popularity since its launch last year.

Richard Gadd, the writer and lead actor in a series based on his real-life stalking ordeal, has been nominated for the Lead Actor category. At the same time, his fellow cast member, Jessica Gunning, has also been recognized for her role with a nomination in the Supporting Actress category.

In the Limited Drama section, Baby Reindeer will compete against ITV’s drama titled Mr. Bates vs The Post Office. This drama is inspired by one of the most significant miscarriages of justice in the British legal system, where numerous innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were falsely accused of theft, fraud, and accounting errors due to a faulty IT system.

In the nomination count, both Mr. Bates and The Post Office, as well as the Disney series Rivals and Apple TV’s Slow Horses, all received six nominations each.

Among the nominees for the top honor in the entertainment category are Ant & Dec, The Traitors, and Stacey Solomon’s Life-Sorting Mission.

Here are the top nominees for leading actress: Anna Maxwell Martin (Until I Kill You), Billie Piper (Scoop), Lola Petticrew (Say Nothing), Marisa Abela (Industry), Monica Dolan (Mr. Bates vs The Post Office) and Sharon D Clarke (Mr. Loverman). In simpler terms, these are the actresses who have been recognized for their outstanding performances in various films and shows like “Until I Kill You,” “Scoop,” “Say Nothing,” “Industry,” “Mr. Bates vs The Post Office” and “Mr. Loverman.

In a new twist, David Tennant, Gary Oldman, Lennie James, Martin Freeman, and Toby Jones are all vying for top acting honors with their roles in “Rivals,” “Slow Horses,” “Mr. Loverman,” “The Responder,” and “Mr. Bates vs The Post Office” respectively.

21 candidates from the performance categories have each earned their initial BAFTA Television Award nominations among the total of 44 contenders.

Actor Danny Dyer, known for his soap opera roles, has been nominated for his first BAFTA award in the Best Male Comedy Performance category, thanks to his work in Mr. Bigstuff.

Crime shows Blue Lights and Sherwood will face off against Supacell, a superhero show, and Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, a well-regarded historical drama.)

As the CEO of BAFTA, I can confidently say that the year 2024 truly shone in the realm of television, as evidenced by the impressive 134 exceptional programs that our esteemed members deemed worthy of nomination.

Television’s ability to shape national discussions, delve into compelling narratives that capture public attention, and catalyze social transformation, is unparalleled. What makes it even more remarkable is its versatility in tackling various genres.

This year’s nominees encompass a spectrum of emotions, from the thrill of sports, the realism of stories, the raw humanity of documentaries, the poignant humor of comedies, to thought-provoking entertainment – they embody the full range of human experiences.

UK television is currently thriving, and it’s an honor for BAFTA to highlight the exceptional work of our immensely talented nominees at the BAFTA Television Craft Awards and BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises. Make sure to catch the action on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on May 11. Besides discovering the winners, you’ll find yourself curating a new list of shows to watch!
