Christmas is coming - which means so is the Gavin and Stacey Christmas reunion. But fans catching up on the series on iPlayer yesterday were surprised to see the first trailer for the Christmas special hidden at the end of the last episode. Predictably, the short clip sees Bryn go crazy over Christmas dinner (complete with an iPad and a Walkie Talkie).

However, while we wait for the Christmas special - Ruth Jones has teased us even more, actually switching on Barry’s Christmas lights as Nessa{ =nofollow}. It’s almost too good to be true, apart from it isn’t - because it actually happened over the weekend. Nessa, looking tidy in a stripey top and black skirt, asked the packed crowd ‘what’s occurin’?’ before adding that it was ‘crackin’ to see everyone gathered around for the switch-on. ‘There are some lookers out here tonight,’ Ness continued. ‘A few exes in the crowd there I can see.’

In May, Jones and fellow showrunnerJames Corden finally revealed the news we’d all been waiting for – that, after nine years, they were bringing G&S back for a one-off special. They said in a joint statement, ‘Over the last 10 years we’ve talked a lot about Gavin and Stacey – where they might be today and what their lives might look like, and so in secret we took the plunge and wrote this one-hour special. We’ve loved revisiting Barry and Essex again and bringing the characters back together has been a joy.’

Gavin and Stacey is finally back on Christmas Day – and as Bryn would say, ‘Well I for one can’t wait. Not just for the Toblerone, but for the whole thing.'
