It is the bit of Christmas telly that everyone is looking forward to and plot details have been revealed for the return of Gavin & Stacey.
Excitement has been at festive fever pitch for the seasonal special of the much-loved BBC comedy series and it is set to be the big ratings winner of
It's hard to believe that 10 years have passed since we got our last slice of action from the Essex and Barry Island clans, so fans of the show are more than ready for it to come back.
And now a huge clue has been dropped on what we can expect from the Gavin & Stacey Christmas Special, which will air on December 25 at 8.30pm.
Filling us with anticipation, a newly released synopsis reads "It’s been ten years since we last went to Billericay to spend Christmas with the Shipmans and the Wests.
"This year we’re off to Wales for the festivities, where Bryn (Rob Brydon) is cooking dinner for over thirteen people. Understandably he’s tense.
"Pam (Alison Steadman) would secretly prefer to spend Christmas in Essex as she finds Gwen’s (Melanie Walters) house a bit lacking. But the deal has always been that they alternate every year, and this time it’s the turn of the Wests to host Christmas with everyone under one small roof."
You'll remember that when we left Gavin & Stacey a decade ago, Stacey was pregnant but now that bump is a 10 year child.
The spoiler continues "For Gavin (Mathew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page), parenthood continues to present them with several challenges, their ‘baby’ now being ten. Smithy (James Corden), too, continues to commit to his fatherly role, making the journey to Barry at weekends and every second Wednesday to see twelve-year-old Neil the Baby.
"Nessa (Ruth Jones) on the other hand adopts her own brand of Nessa-style mothering whilst Pam, Mick (Larry Lamb) and Gwen have become the epitome of doting grandparents."
And finally, who remembers Pam and Mick's neighbours Pete and Dawn? Well they're back too, with the teaser revealing "On Christmas Eve, Dawn (Julia Davis) makes a shocking discovery about Pete (Adrian Scarborough) that jeopardises their marriage (again) and a visit to the pub that night is an eye opener in more ways than one."
