    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Created by James Corden and Ruth Jones, the comedy followed the two titular characters, played by Matthew Horne and Joanna Page, as they pursued a relationship across Billericay in Essex and seaside town, Barry in Wales.

    At the height of the show’s fame in 2009, Brydon earned a UK No 1 alongside Sir Tom Jones and Robin Gibb for the song (Barry) Islands in the stream, released in aid of Comic Relief.

    The Christmas special in 2019 picked up 10 years after the previous instalment and revealed that Gavin and Stacey now have three children, while Smithy and Nessa were successfully co-parenting their son, Neil.

    The US outlet Deadline has reported that the sitcom is set to film a new episode over the summer with the plan to air it at Christmas, five years on from the last special.

    It has claimed that the series is in development/pre-production stages and that it will be produced by Steve Coogan’s Baby Cow, Jones’ Tidy Productions and Fulwell 73, which is co-owned by Corden.

    He had been fronting a weekly Sirius XM audio show, titled This Life of Mine, with James Corden, which has had guest appearances with public figures such as Martin Scorsese, Kim Kardashian and David Beckham.
