According to Barb’s official seven-day ratings, 17.9 million people tuned in to the 2019 Gavin &, Stacey Christmas Day episode. Corden and Jones stated at the time the audience’s responses to our show and these astounding viewing figures were made public: “We are completely overwhelmed by the response from the audience.
Unfortunately, the pair confirmed that there would be no more fan-favorite episodes of the holiday show, leaving many completely devastated.
We are beyond thrilled that so many people enjoyed watching Gavin & Stacey this Christmas because it truly belongs to the audience. According to previous hints from Transworld Publishers, a division of Penguin Random House, the book will “describe the rejection, challenges and obstacles they encountered in giving birth to their beloved comedy creation” and James and Ruth will also examine the development of their own real-life friendship.
We are delighted to welcome James Corden and Ruth Jones together on the Hay Festival 2025 program for a lively discussion about friendship, creativity, and perseverance, according to Julie Finch, Global Chief Executive of the Hay Festival.
It’s “the perfect time to hear them talk about the art of screenwriting, storytelling in collaboration, and Wales’ cultural impact,” says Gavin & Stacey Christmas special, which has dominated the TV schedule.
