The BBC has confirmed that new episodes of smash hit, Gavin & Stacey could ‘one day’ be in the pipeline.
Chief Content Officer, Charlotte Moore dropped the massive bombshell when she outlined the BBC’s Christmas TV schedule for 2020.
While announcing the schedule to BBC News that will see festive favourites such as Call the Midwife, Doctor Who and Mrs Brown’s Boys return Charlotte Moore explained that there will be no follow-up to last year’s episode.
She said: That wasn’t something that was going to happen this year,” before teasing: “One day.”
The one-off Christmas special broke records last year when it became the most-watched Christmas show of the decade, pulling in almost half of the TV audience at 8:30pm with 11.6 million viewers.
The sitcom written by and starring Ruth Jones and James Corden ran on the BBC between 2007 and 2010, first on BBC Three and then moved to BBC One, before it’s return in 2019 which saw Matthew Horne, Joanna Page, Larry Lamb, Allison Steadman, Melanie Walters and Rob Brydon reprise their iconic roles.
The news will delight fans of the show who are eager to see if Smithy (Corden) says yes to Nessa (Jones) who proposed in the final moments of last year’s Christmas special leaving fans on a huge cliffhanger.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
