BBC, 17th February 2010Gavin wants to call it quits with Stacey
Although Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb, his co-stars in Gavin & Stacey, have set their hearts on seeing the award-winning BBC comedy series turned into a film, Matthew Horne tells me that it would be "a terrible idea."
Tim Walker, The Telegraph, 24th January 2010If you missed season three of this ever-wonderful family sitcom, you can catch the entire run tonight. Some of the dynamics of the show are changing: Nessa (Ruth Jones) seems less amenable, Mick (Larry Lamb) a little spikier (shades of his EastEnders character?) and Bryn (Rob Brydon) even stranger, but it remains sweet-natured. As the final series opens, Gavin (Mathew Horne) has started a new job in Cardiff so Stacey (Joanna Page) is back at home in Barry and a christening is being planned for baby Neil, but there's a shock in store for his father, Smithy (James Corden).
Simon Horsford, The Telegraph, 9th January 2010Star says there is more to come
Star Larry Lamb says there is more to come, as 140,000 fans join Facebook campaign to bring back Gavin and Stacey.
Liz Thomas, Daily Mail, 9th January 2010The final episode of Gavin and Stacey saw lovesick Smithy interrupt Nessa's wedding to Dave Coaches with a speech so poignant, funny and beautifully delivered that you could almost forgive writer/star James Corden for Horne & Corden. Almost, but not quite.
Harry Venning, The Stage, 5th January 2010Vanessa and Dave's nuptials are imminent and Stacey has exciting news for Gavin. Meanwhile Smithy hovers between Leigh Delamere services and the Severn Bridge, wondering whether he should call a halt to the wedding. And Corden totally nails his performance in this final episode. He should stick to acting. As a series closer, it does everything necessary to leave you feeling like you've had three courses and coffee, and you can't say fairer than that. Farewell, Gavin and Stacey. It was your time to go, but it was a good death.
