Gavin and Stacey cast mark exciting filming milestone
Gavin and Stacey is on track to treat fans to a highly anticipated Christmas present, as the comedy's festive special has started filming.
Following the acclaimed 2019 episode that ended on a huge cliffhanger for Smithy (James Corden) and Nessa (Ruth Jones), the BBC series will return for one more episode later this year.
Meanwhile, its stars are reuniting on set, with Rob Brydon, who plays Nessa's uncle Bryn, posting a picture with his onscreen niece and co-creator of the show Jones.

"Something's occurring..." Brydon captioned the Instagram selfie and used the hashtag for Gavin and Stacey.
Corden, who created the show alongside Jones, also took to Instagram to share a snap from set and confirm filming on the special is under way.
"Day 1. Here we go x," the actor and presenter wrote.
Fans of the show have shared their excitement at catching up with the characters five years after their last TV appearance, with one person writing: "This is better than oasis getting back together".
