Ahead of the Christmas Day return of Gavin & Stacey, I spoke with its director Christine Gernon who has directed all of the episodes of the original run and is back for the special.

We also spoke about her start in television as a runner and eventual director on the BBC's beloved sitcom One Foot in the Grave.
