Another “Gavin and Stacey” Christmas episode is officially happening.
James Corden and Ruth Jones, the creators and stars of the classic British sitcom, took to Instagram on Friday to share a photo of them holding the script for an episode titled “the finale.”
“Some news… It’s official!!!” Corden and Jones wrote. “We have finished writing the last ever episode of ‘Gavin and Stacey.’ See you on Christmas Day, BBC One. Love Ruth and James.”
Premiering in 2007, “Gavin and Stacey” follows the title characters, a boy from Essex and a girl from Wales (played by Mathew Horne and Joana Page), as well as Corden’s Smithy and Jones’ Nessa. As the show’s plot description reads, “Gavin and Stacey have been continuing their romance online and by telephone for the last six months. Now they want to be together, but will their friends and family let them?”

James Corden and Ruth Jones have written a final episode for Gavin And Stacey – a special Christmas edition.
A report earlier this year suggested that a Gavin And Stacey Christmas special was in the works, which Ruth Jones later denied. However, the BBC has now confirmed that Corden and Jones have written a Christmas special, which will also be the final episode.
No details about plot or cast have been revealed, but the series regulars, including Corden as Smithy, Jones as Nessa, Steadman as Pam, Brydon as Uncle Bryn, Davis as Dawn, Mathew Horne as Gavin, Joanna Page as Stacey, Melanie Walters as Gwen, Larry Lamb as Mick and Adrian Scarborough as Pete, are expected to return.
When Ruth Jones and James Corden brought Gavin And Stacey back for a Christmas special five years ago, around 18 million people tuned in. In modern TV terms, that’s an astonishing achievement.

As the therapist in filmmaker Charlotte Hamblin’s quirky, offbeat dark comedy Everybody Dies…Sometimes tells us, that the only inevitability in life is death. A stark and not so comforting fact for the film’s protagonist Mara, who is struggling with the long-held belief, well supported by her tragic history, that she’ll cause the demise of anyone she gets close to. Everybody Dies…Sometimes is an oddly joyous and buoyant take on that existential doom we all face, which flashes through a series of truly funny fatal scenarios experienced by those prematurely taken from Mara’s life. Writer/Director Hamblin draws from her own lamentable over-familiarity with death in this semi-autobiographical directorial debut in which the established screenwriter’s script, coupled with Tanya Reynolds’ (Sex Education) and Mathew Horne’s (Gavin & Stacey) perfectly deadpan delivery and the film’s colourful visuals, turn the spectre of death into something to poke fun at.

Jim Wiseman’s Sky original documentary “Williams and Mansell: Red 5” is set for a debut on Sky Documentaries and Now on July 8. Featuring some of the biggest names in F1, it follows Nigel Mansell and the Williams Racing team’s rise to fame told through the eyes of his team, family and drivers including Jenson Button, Damon Hill and Karun Chandhok.
Mansell grew up in England in the 1960s, dreaming of becoming a professional race car driver, despite not having the financial means for it, while Frank Williams was realizing his own dream at the company he founded, Williams Grand Prix Engineering. The two joined forces, and after years of trying to win together, Mansell left to join Ferrari and then ultimately retired from racing after years of ups and downs, without ever winning the Formula One Drivers’ Championship. But seemingly overnight, he came out of retirement and re-joined Williams Racing.

Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page has said that she hopes the show will return for a future Christmas special.
The Welsh actor starred opposite Mathew Horne in Ruth Jones and James Corden’s BBC sitcom, which originally aired from 2007 to 2010 and returned in 2019 for a one-off festive episode.
Appearing on Loose Women on Tuesday (13 December), Page said that, while she’d “love to do another one”, she was unsure of the show’s future.
“I’ve honestly no idea,” Page said. “I’m just the same as everybody else because they don’t tell us. They don’t tell us anything and I’ve never ever asked.
“I’ve never said, ‘Oh Ruth, do you think you’ll do another one or is there going to be more?’ I’m just not that sort of person. I’ve always just thought, we’ll wait and see and if there is,...

Returning to the beloved character from her early ‘00s sketch comedy show “The Catherine Tate Show” — and the spinoff series “Catherine Tate’s Nan” — the simply titled “The Nan Movie” continues the hijinks of the elderly Joanie Taylor (aka Nan). A loudmouth cockney woman who always speaks her mind, often to the embarrassment of her grandson Jamie (Matthew Horne), Tate’s feature film is a curious object.

Laure Calamy, who plays Noémie, the wacky assistant to Mathias Barneville in Call My Agent!, won the César (French equivalent of the Oscars) for Best Actress for My Donkey, My Lover & I, the film by Caroline Vignal that opens this weekend Stateside from Greenwich Entertainment. It’s the distributor’s second narrative film in a year and its widest release since The Rescue.
Wide here means 52 screens in 28 markets in the U.S. where the specialty box office can still be pretty punishing, especially for foreign language fare. Greenwich has been releasing about two film a month, mostly documentaries. My Donkey (Antionette Dans Les Cévennes in French) is Calamy’s first starring film role. It has a theatrical window through August 30.

"Don't you think you should be getting some rest?" Screen Media has revealed a new official US trailer for a wacky British comedy titled The Nan Movie, opening in the US later this month (in theaters + on VOD). Does anyone in the US even know who this "Nan" is or anything about her comedy? She is from a BBC spin-off series of specials following the character "Joannie Taylor" from the original sketch comedy series "The Catherine Tate Show". The movie is "an origin story that mixes Nan's present with her past where we finally find out what’s made her the cantankerous old b*****d she is today." She embarks on a roadtrip to Ireland with her grandson to make amends with her estranged sister. Catherine Tate stars, reprising her role as the "foul mouthed pensioner", with Matthew Horne, Pete Bennett, and Katherine Parkinson. This looks so uncomfortably annoying and extra unfunny,...

Exclusive: Screen Media has acquired North American rights to the road-trip comedy The Nan Movie, written by Catherine Tate (The Office) and Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso), with plans for a day-and-date theatrical and on-demand release this July.
The film will serve as the origin story of Joannie Taylor aka Nan—the foul-mouthed grandmother character first introduced by Tate on her multi-award-winning BBC series, The Catherine Tate Show. It follows Nan as she goes on a wild road trip from London to Ireland with her long-suffering grandson Jamie (Mathew Horne) to make amends with her estranged and dying sister Nell (Katherine Parkinson). Through a series of flashbacks, we see the young sisters fall in love with the same handsome GI during World War 2 and how the consequences of this love triangle shaped Nan into the cantankerous old b*****d she is today.

The made-for-tv movie was a programming staple for the broadcast networks in the 1970s and 1980s. While it fell out of favor in the 1990s and was even dropped as an Emmy Awards category for three years beginning in 2011, it has been on an upswing as of late. This year, 28 telefilms are in contention for the five nominations that will be revealed on July 28; last year only 21 TV movies were submitted.
All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until July 13 to cast their 2020 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for their favorite TV movies. In the past, voters were limited in the number of telefilms that they could put forth. In 2017 that cap (which was usually 10 per category) was lifted. And, as opposed to the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally.

Like all the best comedies, Gavin & Stacey became a cultural touchstone in Britain after it launched in 2007.
There are easy ways to measure this, like the hatful of awards it took home, and the step ladder it provided creator James Corden on his way to stardom in the U.S. But there are also the intangible things that swirl around great comedies, like the catchphrases that infiltrate everyday conversation, or the memes that flood your timeline.
Either way, what started as a simple show about a blind date that brings together people from two bewilderingly different backgrounds, has grown into a cherished landmark in UK television history.
It was why, even 12 years on, Corden and Gavin & Stacey‘s co-writer Ruth Jones were still regularly asked if they would ever return to the split worlds of Barry Island and Billericay they created for BBC Three. They found many ways to say “no” — until May 2019 that was,...

To the list of TV revivals and revisits, add Britain’s beloved and widely traveled “Gavin & Stacey.”
The BBC announced Tuesday that it would catch up with the doings of the eponymous couple and their friends and family this Christmas after a nearly 10-year hiatus. The hourlong special is written by James Corden and Ruth Jones, who together created, wrote and co-starred in the original show.

The series followed the long-distance and then up-close romance of Gavin (Mathew Horne) from Essex, outside London, and Stacey (Joanna Page) from Barry, in Wales. Corden and Jones played the pair’s best friends, Smithy and Nessa.

Logic needs to be thrown completely out of the window when watching creepfest Within. It’s directed by Phil Claydon of Vampire Killers fame – the 2009 B-movie about lesbian vampires enslaving a village’s womenfolk, only for unlikely heroes James Corden and Mathew Horne to come along and save the day. Indeed, this was well before Corden conquered Tinseltown with his celebrity carpools.
The point is to aim ‘middle-ish’ with Within and there’s enough entertainment and ‘look away now’, jumpy bits to be had. In fact, the whole premise is nicely spun along, namely guessing whether the sinister situation is ‘living’ or ‘supernatural’ in cause. The Alexanders (Vartan, Velazquez and Moriarty) move neighbourhood to a new house whose occupants have long gone, leaving a garage full of memories. Youngest member Hannah (Moriarty) has been grounded after a teenage party, and is given the task of clearing the boxes,...

British romantic comedy “Gavin & Stacey” was a huge hit across the pond, and seemed ripe for a U.S. adaptation a la “The Office.” And indeed, both NBC and Fox tried to make American versions of the show – but James Corden, who created the series with Ruth Jones, knows why those remakes fell flat.
“They never understood what the show was about,” Corden said of the U.S. networks. “They would buy the show and immediately change it.” Corden spoke Sunday to an audience of “The Late Late Show” fans at EW’s PopFest in Downtown Los Angeles.
“Gavin & Stacey” followed the budding relationship between Gavin (Mathew Horne) from Essex and Stacey (Joanna Page) from Wales, and how their families are brought together. Corden played Gavin’s best friend, Smithy, while Jones was Stacey’s pal Nessa. The show launched in 2007 on digital channel BBC Three, but was so popular...

Matt Damon is running toward the rooftop railing of an L.A. building, and people are afraid he's gonna die. James Corden is not one of them. Damon is reprising Jason Bourne, walking fast and looking over the right shoulder of his scuffed brown leather jacket. He then runs into a plump Brit who's dressed exactly the same. Damon smiles. It's Corden, the host of CBS' The Late Late Show, and the proud son of Hazlemere, Buckinghamshire, in England's unfashionable Home Counties. It's an hour before the taping of Corden's show,...

A fond look back at UK comedy drama Teachers, starring a pre-The Walking Dead and post-This Life Andrew Lincoln...
Fifteen years ago, Andrew Lincoln wasn’t the guy from The Walking Dead. He wasn’t even the creepy guy from Love Actually (the one with the signs. Not any of the other creepy guys). No, he was the guy from This Life that was getting a show all of his own in which to charm the viewing masses. That show was Teachers. And charm us he did.
Set in a secondary school in Bristol, Teachers was good enough to make us actually want to go back to school – or, for those of us who were still at school when it started, to wonder if some of the ridiculous rumours we were making up about the staff shagging each other might actually be true after all.

The news of Sigourney Weaver's guest appearance in Doc Martin took many fans by surprise earlier this year, and now Martin Clunes has revealed how the Alien actress signed up for the drama.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain yesterday (September 3), Clunes said that he was approached by the Hollywood star and asked for a part while filming a chat show.
"I met her on The Jonathan Ross Show and she said she was a big fan," the actor said.
Weaver will play an American tourist on the show, visiting Cornwall and encountering Doc Martin and some of Portwenn's other vibrant characters.
Clunes teased the part by saying: "She gets to be insulted by her own friend."
The 53-year-old also revealed that he'll reunite with Men Behaving Badly co-star Caroline Quentin on the show's upcoming run.
Weaver was photographed shooting scenes for the long-running ITV series with Clunes in Cornwall back in July.

Jack Whitehall has told us that Bad Education will most likely come to an end with the big screen upgrade.
"This is our characters going out on a bang, and if this is where it ends, then I think it's a really good place to leave them," he said.
The Bad Education Movie transports Whitehall's inept teacher Alfie Wickers and his classmates to a crazy trip to Cornwall. What can go wrong?
Talking about the film, Whitehall said: "We've had a lot more money than we had with the series so we threw everything at it. When you're at the BBC there are certain rules you have to apply to, whereas with the film, taste and decency issues can go out the window."
He also spoke about the failed attempt to make a Us version on ABC, and said the film is not expected to be a hit on that side of the Atlantic.

If we said that Sigourney Weaver was filming a guest appearance in a UK drama, you might assume Downton Abbey or Sherlock. Not quite - she's a Doc Martin fan.
The Hollywood actress was photographed shooting scenes for the long-running ITV series with Martin Clunes in Cornwall this week.
The surprising pair were spotted filming the seventh series outside the pharmacy, with many locals looking on.
Weaver was seen wearing a fisherman's hat and a long-lensed camera, before entering the pharmacy with Clunes's titular character.
ITV has yet to announce Weaver's appearance or what role she may be playing, but it is a massive coup for the show.
Previous guest stars in Doc Martin have included Celia Imrie, Roger Lloyd-Pack, Chris O'Dowd and Mathew Horne.
Doc Martin will return for its seventh series on ITV this autumn.
Meanwhile, the show is being developed for a Us version from Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman.

The hit Bcc comedy comes to the big screen this Summer with The Bad Education Movie seeing Jack Whitehall’s immature teacher Alfie Wickers embark on a chaotic class trip with his tear away students. This might go over the heads of our American friends, but those in Ireland and the U.K. should know know exactly what to expect. No doubt, this will hope to emulate the success of fellow t.v. to movie converts Alan Partridge, The Inbetweeners, and Mrs. Brown, and judging from the below trailer, which brings with it a fair amount of chuckles, it shouldn’t have a problem, with Whitehall being his usual liable self, and joined by an ables cast, including Harry Enfield, Matthew Horne, and Game of Thrones’ Ian Glen. The Bad Education Movie hits our shores August 21st.

Jack Whitehall brings Bad Education to the big screen in The Bad Education Movie. Here's the first trailer...
The last British comedy show that picked itself a prime August release slot on its way to UK cinemas was The Inbetweeners Movie, and its sequel. Both made huge amounts of money, both landed in the top ten films of the year at the British box office, and both are regularly respun on home formats. The money is still coming in.
High hopes, then, for The Bad Education Movie, based on the hit comedy show of almost the same name. Jack Whitehall stars, reprising the role of Alfie Wickers, and the cast includes Jeremy Irvine, Joanna Scanlan, Talulah Riley, Harry Enfield, Matthew Horne and Sarah Selomani.
Elliot Hegarty is directing, with Whitehall and Freddy Syborn penning the script. Here's the first trailer...

Jack Whitehall is a badass teacher in the first trailer for The Bad Education Movie.
Alfie Wickers and his tearaway pupils are back for a big-screen version of the hit BBC comedy, which arrives in cinemas in the UK and Ireland on Friday, August 21.
In the trailer, Alfie is itching to take his class for one last trip away together after completing their exams - but soon comes up against opposition from disgruntled parents who don't think he's an appropriate role model.
In response, he resolves to take the students "on a holiday that's so bats**t mental that if it was a movie, everyone would be played by Nicolas Cage", and they soon tear up Cornwall, raising havoc, insulting the locals and upsetting the resident wildlife.
