    And O Neil, the baby, will be 15!

    @Loughc , will set up a game near to the time and we have to guess what's happened since the last special?



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,014 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    oooh I love that idea!! Bonus points if you can tell us what happened on the fishing trip.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭BK5


    Only problem with guessing what's happened in the last 4 years is if someone is bang on with their predictions and we give out they ruined it ha ha

    Not a chance will we ever find out about the fishing trip, no matter what it was it would end up being a disappointment so they won't go there imo.

    No, we can't find out what happened on the fishing trip. It's like Maris on 'Frasier'- some things are best left to the imagination!

    FIlming is taking place in September.

    A number of road closers in Wales.

    Bulk of filming seems to be at Gavin's parents home.

    So, it looks like Christmas in Essex but filmed in Wales.(Not really a spoiler tough.)

    Well, in the 2019 special Mick made it clear to Pam that they shared Christmas days between the 2 families, so if they were in Barry in 2019 it makes sense that it's Pam and Micks turn to host in 2024!

    Did You hear that Ruth Jones.

    Hinted there might be a death?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,556 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    I hadn'theard any rumours, but to be fair I'll be doing my best to avoid spoilers as I want to enjoy it as much as possible as I did the other 2 Christmas specials.

    A friend of a friend is working on it in the costume department and have been sworn to secrecy.

    Apprentlly the whole script got leaked in May.

    I'm trying to avoid them to.

    I'd kind of like an time jump.

    We'd see Gavin and Stacey son meeting like his parents met.

    Great Romance showing some Christmas stuff already I see. They usually switch a channel over to full time (low rent) Christmas movies in September or so



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭BK5


    It was announced on here a couple of weeks ago that Great Romance switches to Great Christmas full time from September 5th.

    I see James Corden has up on his instagram that they start shooting the G&S christmas special today!

    I've been rewatching Gavin and Stacey the last couple of weeks. It's making me more excited now for the Christmas special. 🙂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,556 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    I've been watching & rewatching for the last 5 years😀, everytime I end up channel surfing and theres an episode on Gold/Dave or whatever channel shows it regularly I end up watching it.

    I'll leave the 2 previous christmas specials until we're right into the thick of the build up.

    Strictly is back soon



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,556 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    GBBO back on Channel 4 on Tuesday 24th September also. For me that's a solid stepping stone to the build up.

    Oooh, I haven't seen it yet, how exciting. Looking forward to the new series, especially because I usually watch it with cake. 😁

    Watching strictly last night and spitted Joanna Paige in the audience, was interested to see laura aikman sat beside her too.

    Conspiracy theory here.... she played smithy's girlfriend in the last Christmas special and her being there beside stacey makes me think she may be in the new special also, which would suggest that she's still with smithy and he therefore declined nessas proposal.. so I have a feeling in this one smithy will ultimately propose to nessa and that'll close out the story.

    Yeah 2+2=5 😀

    If you haven't been watching the new All Creatures Great & Small, I highly recommend it. It's a lovely watch. First season is on Netflix I think.

    Slim pickings from Sky Arts, usually they have some nice Christmas music specials.

    Nutcracker: Backstage with English National Ballet... Two documentaries follow the meticulous preparations and the all-important rehearsals which build to the opening night. Audiences can then tune in to the full performance of Nutcracker, captured in all its magic at the London Coliseum.

    Edward Scissorhands: Matthew Bourne’s magical dance production based on Tim Burton’s classic film.

    The Story of Panto with Gyles Brandreth.
