Ruth Jones has been thinking about Gavin & Stacey
"James and I were talking about this the other day," she told Lorraine. "I was saying that baby Neil, who is now probably about 11, Nessa's training him down the slots. She's training him in the art of the dodgy grabber machine and all that kinda thing, and how to weight the two pences."

The Gavin and Stacey creator has turned a forgotten script into her debut novel. There are no rules to writing a book, she says.
Lisa O'Kelly, The Guardian, 31st March 2018Ruth Jones interview
'We all have a public face that we put on, some people are better at it than others'. In her début novel, actress and screenwriter Ruth Jones explores infidelity, messy relationships and second chances.
The Bookseller, 28th March 2018Ruth Jones knows a thing or two about quitting while she's ahead. After the succinct greatness of Gavin & Stacey, she now ends Stella, Sky's only successful comedy origination, after a comparatively epic six series. There's plenty still to resolve in this final episode. It's Stella's graduation, but what will happen to Nadine and Jag, to Stella and Michael Jackson, or Brenda's claim to lordly parentage? There's more drama than you might think before we get to the end.
John Robinson, The Guardian, 18th October 2017As with Gavin & Stacey, Ruth Jones is good at knowing when to walk away and leave us wanting more. And so it proves with her gentle but likable Sky comedy-drama, which takes its final bow this week. Stella is graduating, but she's not in the mood to celebrate just yet.

Mark Braxton, Radio Times, 13th September 2017Ruth Jones brings new sitcom to BBC Radio Wales
Ruth Jones will write and star in Splott, a new sitcom for BBC Radio Wales.
British Comedy Guide, 17th July 2017A bit like Gogglebox, but for the news, this new series finds the topical stories of the day - from breaking news to bizarre headlines - dissected by "real British people". So, that means dinner ladies from Leeds, market traders from London's East End and butchers from Birmingham. The folk giving their two penn'orth are so chosen for their incisive wit and "unfiltered" manner, so expect blunt reactions to the week's news. Ruth Jones is on voiceover duties.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 11th January 2017Preview - Common Sense
Anyone with any common sense will be able to tell you that the production company behind Gogglebox is trying to repeat the same formula elsewhere.
