As a devoted fan of Gavin & Stacey, I can hardly contain my excitement as the production of the long-awaited return of this beloved sitcom is finally underway! The thought that we’ll soon find out what has happened during the five-year break fills me with sheer joy. It seems our favorite characters have been busy living their lives off-screen, much like the rest of us in these unprecedented times.


On a Tuesday, during the shooting of its final installment, James Corden (who plays Gavin And Stacey) was seen interacting and taking photos with fans.

Meanwhile, as James, aged 46, stood chilly among spectators outside an ice cream parlor, his co-star Ruth Jones, at 57 years old, was snapped with a staff member from a fish and chip store on the set of the series in Barry Island.

On Monday, James signaled that work was underway by posting a picture of the distinctive blue Volvo associated with his character Smithy, accompanied by the message: “Day 1. Let’s get started.”

On the subsequent day, actresses Joanna (characterized as Stacey Shipman) and Ruth (depicting Nessa Jenkins) exchanged chuckles at their location on Barry Island.

But, surprisingly not with them was Mathew Horne who portrays Stacey’s husband Gavin Shipman.

In plain English translation, on Tuesday they shared a picture of the backs of Joanna and Ruth and wrote: “Day 2. One last time on the island x.”

“Also sharing photos of their trailers with the captions ‘O our god, we’re starting!'” This version is less cryptic but still just as excited.

In English, “She wrote on the photo ‘First day!!!'” translates to “BBC (Big Board of Capital) and was also tagged as ‘BBC iPlayer’ and ‘Gavin And Stacey’ respectively.

Excited fans, including celebrity names, flooded the actors’ comments sections. 

They wrote: ‘Looking forward to seeing it!! Have fun filming!!’; ‘Cannot wait; ‘

‘OMG so excited have the best time cannot wait for this !’;

“Should this be interpreted as a stalemate, for me it’s just another step in the process; I can’t help but feel intrigued by James.”

As the English idiomatic metaphor suggests, ‘As long as it’s wrapped up in a well-tight metaphorical 3-point system, everyone will be ecstatic about this.’

‘I no the Essex house is in Barry but im@hoping it’s Christmas at Pam and micks.’ 

That’s a clever way to phrase it, but as far as the fans go, they are just the latest version of the game. In other words, that means the current state of the NBA.

I’d like to offer a suggestion that might be more natural and easier to read, similar to how Loose Women panelist Andrea McCann is in the lifestyle industry if possible: Loose Women panellists Andrea McCann and Ruth Langford wrote ‘Woop woop!!!’ and ‘YESSSSSSSSS!!!!’ respectively.

I’d like to offer a different translation for your analogy: In the movie “Filmed on Tuesday,” it was discovered that Nessa had begun a new task on the “Barry Island” (in a rickshaw).

I think that metaphorically translates to “Nessa’s varied career includes stints as a roadie for a huge brand, a producer for the BBC, and, more similarly to her current role, a truck driver.”

In an attempt to find a more natural and less jargon-y language, I would suggest “She allegedly has driven for Gladys Knight and the Pips” or “The Who and the Agricultural Company Eddie Stobart Ltd.”

In a more readable and natural way, James offers wisdom about how he wants the situation to unfold.

In this context, “try to paraphrase” could be interpreted as “attempt to rephrase,” which is easy to read and understand. The phrase “before filming” refers to something that happened before the act of making a video (like when Ruth had lunch at Mr. Villa’s fish and chip shop). And the phrase “poses for a photo with a fan” means “presents itself as a photo with a fan,” which is similar to presenting itself as a picture with a fan, like when a worker presents himself at a counter.

James, who is currently sitting atop the highest ratings for the most recent season of the sitcom.

The actor and co-creator of the beloved comedy took to their Instagram to post a behind-the-scenes photo from the set, as they confirmed shooting was underway.

In a more natural and easier-to-understand manner, “It” comes after fellow star Rob Brydon hinted shooting was underway for the show, as he shared a selfie with co-star Ruth Jones on Saturday.

In a playful manner, the 59-year-old actor, known for his beloved character Uncle Bryn, stood beside actress Ruth (who plays Nessa Jenkins), and hinted mysteriously: “There seems to be something happening… #gavinandstacey”.

James and Ruth, co-creators of the show “Gavin & Stacey”, announced that it will come back on air in May. The filming for this comeback will take place once again at Barry Island, where the last Christmas special aired in 2019.

On Christmas Day this year, fans can finally discover all that transpired during the five-year hiatus, as the last episode turned out to be the most-watched non-sports event in the past ten years.

In a more metaphorical and accessible manner, Nessa was metaphorically allotted to a new Smith, yet viewers were not privy to his reply.

Mathew’s absence on Tuesday will remind fans of his rumoured feud with James.

I’d suggest using a more metaphorical and easily-understood term: The pair were once known as the dynamic duo during and after Gavin & Stacey, but they failed to create their own names as a team, even with multiple tries.
