Gavin and Stacey's Rob Brydon hints there could be 'one more special'

Fingers crossed 🤞

Gavin and Stacey legend Rob Brydon has heavily hinted that there may be another Gavin and Stacey special coming our way, admitting that writers James Corden and Ruth Jones left viewers "hanging" after the 2019 Christmas special. Rob, who played the hilarious Bryn West, also added it would "feel strange" not to!

We think it would be pretty safe to say that the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, in 2019, left us on one of the biggest cliffhangers of the year, with Ruth's character Nessa popping the question to Smithy, who is played by James. And just like the rest of us, Rob has been left needing more, revealing in his podcast, Brydon &, that "it would seem so strange" not to do another episode.

In the podcast episode, Rob was discussing the iconic show with his former co-star Sheridan Smith, who played Smithy's sister Ruth "Rudi" Smith. When speaking of another potential special written by James and Ruth, he said, "Well, I think they might do one more special. But they should crack on if they are going to do it."

Sheridan then added, "They created this masterpiece sort of one-off Christmas special. Now everyone's asking for more, aren't they?" We certainly are, Sher!

The actress then added that James and Ruth's work was "genius", continuing, "They wrote it so well and so to just be a small part of it was an honour".

Despite receiving some rather mixed messages over the past year or so on whether or not the show may ever return, here's hoping that James Corden might listen to his old pal Rob and give us all the fix we need!
