Gavin And Stacey’s Rob Brydon teases ‘one more special’ after shock Nessa proposal

Rob Brydon has said he thinks there may be one more special episode of Gavin And Stacey.

The actor and comedian pointed out that writers James Corden and Ruth Jones left the hit BBC comedy ‘hanging’ in the 2019 Christmas special, with Jones’ character Nessa proposing to Smithy (played by Corden).

Speaking during his Brydon & podcast Brydon, who plays Bryn West in the series, teased: ‘Well, I think they might do one more special because they left it handing, didn’t they, with the proposal?

‘So it would seem strange if they didn’t. But they should crack on if they are going to do it.’

Brydon made the comments while discussing the comedy with Sheridan Smith, who played Smithy’s sister Ruth ‘Rudi’ Smith in the programme.

‘They created this masterpiece sort of one-off Christmas special,’ she said. ‘Now everyone’s asking for more, aren’t they?’

Smith continued: ‘What a cast and everyone was so lovely; the crew, everyone, was brilliant on that job.’

She went on to brand Corden and Jones’ creation as ‘genius’, adding: ‘They wrote it so well and so to just be a small part of it was an honour.’

Sadly for Gavin And Stacey fans, the creators ruled out its return anytime soon.

‘We have no plans to make another, not at the moment,’ Corden said, while chatting to Lorraine from the Oscars red carpet last February.

‘We’ll have a sit-down and think about that at some point but we certainly haven’t had that discussion yet.’

Brydon & is a Spotify exclusive podcast with new episodes airing every Thursday.
