Its the bookies favourite to be the most watched programme this Christmas Gavin stacey is back on our screens with a one off special tonight. Yesterday, we had an exclusive peak behind the scenes at filming in barry. Today, james corden has been telling our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson why they decided to bring it back. Are you asking me to step in . What . Are you asking me to. Step into christmas we can watch the snow fall forever and ever. James corden, i never thought this would happen. Back on the set of gavin and stacey, what made you decide to do it again . It was more of a sense of i think ruth and i thinking, why dont we just explore it, see if theres anything there, if theres a story there, it would be interesting to see where they are. We didnt tell the bbc, we didnt tell any agents or anything, we just did what we did the first time around, really, which was sit in a room and talk about it and see what we have. We used the house up here is our sort of greenroom. And look to you find in any these houses, it is ruthjones and joanna page, relaxing between scenes. Ifeel like i have walked into the show, this is very peculiar. Yeah, yeah. It is quite funny, were sort of like our characters, just gossiping. What are you reading . Mind your own business. For ruth and i there was very much a feeling of like, well, the time to do it is when you dont need to. The last thing we wanted the show to look like was sort of emergency, break glass quest to get back on television or for relevance somehow, you know . And so, look, it comes with a huge amount of pressure. Its a strange feeling but we hope people enjoy dipping back into their lives for a moment, you know . Theyre all hyped up about tomorrow, they are. Hyped up . How do you think i feel . We send each other Little Things like i heard someone say this today in the supermarket and i thought it would be something pam would say. You were as fascinated as the fans are . We are as interested as everybody else in it to see where it is at. We are lucky we get to find out first. Weve just been filming upstairs, its 101. When people watch this they will go, 0h, i remember, that was the hottest day of the year, thats what it is. Basicallyjames is rushing around in the hot room and i am lying under a very synthetic, thick duvet. The thing with the show has always been trying to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, you know . Thats where the show was born from. Its that, like, something so small as two people, seemingly so small, as two people choosing to spend the rest of their lives together has a monumental impact on lots of other peoples lives. This is where we shot a scene the other day, the top of the stairs here. Matt and i. It was incredibly tight for space. We always want to try and shoot it in its surroundings. So the famous scene where gavin and stacey talk that they had been engaged. Was on this very doorstep. It was right here, on glendas doorstep. Ijust had a drink with your ex fiance. Oh, my god. How do you think i feel, stace . Was it clifford . No. Leyton . Howell . No, ahmed but hes moved to swindon hes home to see his mum. Its an iced, erm, oat latte. Its incredible. Theres been a lot of cold acting, isnt there . Kind of like. But only when you remember to do it. So theres gonna be some takes where people are going brr, and other takes where theyre like, ah. Have you not got suncream on . You got it . I dont know what im looking at. Hello. Hang on, hang on. You are back here in barry island. Mm. When you think you have a us talk show, it mustjust blow your mind. Yeah, the trick is not to think about it too much. Because i think its dangerous to have a sort of rear view mirror and looking at the things youve done, you have to keep looking at the things that youre going to do or want to do. I think thats the trick to sort of holding yourself together and not perhaps starting to think that youre a bit more of a dude than you really are. Fan hello hello. Anywhere i dont care. Are you sure . Yeah, yeah im positive. Ill sign it. But do not get this tattooed. Whats going to surprise people about this . Surprises . There might be a couple. You might find some things that youve been wondering about, mostly all we want it to be is a joyful hour. Here we are, all set, ready, and action oh, my god, oh, my god stacey, would you kindly inform everybody that dinner will be ever so slightly delayed . Well done, ben. Could this become a regular thing, every ten years you revisit the characters . Oh, that would be a terrible idea. It definitely will not become a thing that happens every decade. I can guarantee you that. People might watch the special be like that was awful, why did you ruin it . and thats the pressure of it. They all like each other, our characters, really, they re really lovely bunch to be around. We love our characters, they are a lovely bunch so it will be nice to see them having Christmas Day again. The gavin and Stacey Christmas special airs tonight at 8 30 on bbc one, and brea kfasts full behind the scenes tour is available now on the bbc iplayer.
