“Gavin & Stacey” Christmas special faces tight schedule – James Corden admits

James Corden has revealed that the upcoming Gavin And Stacey Christmas special will be on a tight schedule to ensure it is filmed and edited on time. The popular comedy series, co-created by Corden and Ruth Jones, is set to return this year after a one-off Christmas episode in 2019 left fans with a cliffhanger.

The show, which originally aired from 2007 to 2010, follows the lives of Gavin and Stacey, who are in a long-distance relationship between Essex and Wales. Corden said on BBC Radio 2 that filming for the special is expected to take place in September/October, with a lot of coordination required due to cast availability.

Although Corden has committed to a London stage production starting in late June, he said he was excited to finish the script with Jones before presenting it to the cast. The comedian assured fans that they are working hard to make sure the Christmas special lives up to expectations.

In an Instagram post earlier this year, Corden gave a glimpse of the script, titled “Gavin and Stacey: The Finale,” confirming that the final episode has been written. The Christmas special is set to air on BBC One and iPlayer on Christmas Day and promises to bring viewers renewed joy and laughter.

Fans of the series can look forward to seeing their favourite characters again and catching up on the latest adventures of Gavin, Stacey, Nessa and Smithy. The return of Gavin and Stacey is highly anticipated and with Corden and Jones at the helm, viewers can look forward to a heartwarming and hilarious Christmas special they won't forget. Stay tuned for more updates as the cast and crew work tirelessly to bring the beloved series back to our screens this holiday season.
