As a long-time fan who’s lived through countless viewings of Gavin and Stacey, this news has sent waves of nostalgic joy coursing through my veins! The prospect of spending a festive morning with the entire cast on BBC Radio 2 Breakfast is like receiving an early Christmas present. I can almost hear Pam’s laughter echoing in my ears as I imagine the gang reminiscing and sharing behind-the-scenes tales.

The BBC has announced a new Gavin and Stacey radio special with Ruth Jones and James Corden.

Just before the much-anticipated return of the popular sitcom for its Christmas Day special, following a five-year break, Gavin and Stacey will be taking over BBC Radio 2 Breakfast with Jones and Corden as hosts. The special is titled “Gavin and Stacey’s Takeover“.

On December 23rd, between 6:30 am and 9:30 am, the duo will be accompanied by Joanna Page, Matthew Horne, Rob Brydon, Alison Steadman, Larry Lamb, and Rob Wilfort.

On Christmas Day, the special episode of “Gavin and Stacey” will be their grand finale, concluding the narrative that started with the previous holiday special in 2019.

In the town of Barry, Bryn is preparing the Picasso for a journey to Essex; meanwhile, Stacey and Gavin are seeking fresh ideas to reinvigorate their seventeen-year-old marriage, and Gwen’s behavior has become quite peculiar. This summarizes the upcoming episode’s plot.

Meanwhile, Nessa embarks on a fresh business endeavor, Neil the Baby prepares to start an apprenticeship with his father, and Pam grapples with the tension of hosting this year’s events, a challenge made more difficult by Mick, who is now retired, perfecting his golf swings in the living room.

Gavin & Stacey series 1-3 are available to stream on BBC iPlayer. The Gavin & Stacey 2024 Christmas special will air at 9pm on Christmas Day on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
