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?

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

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

DvB · 19-08-2024 8:53pm

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.

Posy · 20-08-2024 1:56pm

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!

it’ll never meet the hype.

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!

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.

L1011 · 24-08-2024 7:43pm

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

BK5 · 25-08-2024 2:29pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122540333#Comment_122540333

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

DvB · 02-09-2024 9:52am

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

Posy · 02-09-2024 1:13pm

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

DvB · 02-09-2024 1:20pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122574324#Comment_122574324

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.

Loughc · 05-09-2024 8:36pm

Strictly is back soon

DvB · 06-09-2024 6:57am

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

DvB · 09-09-2024 7:49am

Saw the advert for the new series of GBBO on C4 over the weekend…

Posy · 09-09-2024 6:56pm

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

DvB · 09-09-2024 8:23pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122598690#Comment_122598690

Ditto 🤣

DvB · 22-09-2024 9:16am

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 😀

DvB · 23-09-2024 11:55am

Just a reminder for all the bake off fans in this forum, back tomorrow night at 8pm on Channel 4!!🍰

DvB · 23-09-2024 3:16pm

Apart from the already announced date change (due to expected general election clash) theres a county parade with 1 child from each county to take part.

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.

Loughc · 02-10-2024 9:14pm

A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter — her first-ever holiday special — features unexpected duets and comedic guests you will not want to miss! Mark your calendars for Dec 6, 6PM PT/ Dec 7, 9AM SGT on Netflix

not one for me but might appeal to some of our hipper elves.

I would argue the less hipper elves 🤣

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.

Some of the ITV Christmas offerings this year

Silvertap · 22-10-2024 7:54pm

This will be my highlight this Christmas

odyssey06 · 06-11-2024 1:33pm

The BBC's "Ghost Story for Christmas" this year will be an adaptation of E Nesbit’s "Man-size in Marble" by Mark Gatiss, under the title "Woman of Stone".

Trigger warning… Sir Bob also pops up in this:

This Christmas, in celebration of its 40th anniversary, BBC Two and BBC Music presents WHAM!: Last Christmas Unwrapped – an hour-long celebration from Blink Films and Sony Music Entertainment, in association with Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael Entertainment, of a latter-day Christmas classic, telling the story of how George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s WHAM! turned one song into a cultural phenomenon.

I remember the song coming out that Christmas, I was 12.

1984 doesn't seem that long ago, but if you think about it 40 years before 1984 and World War 2 was still going on!

I can still remember buying the original 7" single & can still see the sleeve too… mad to think that was 40 years ago now.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122813089#Comment_122813089

I can remember this at home too, and on 7" single! I think practically every house would have had a copy of it.

Would never have said that it was 40 years ago though…

DvB · 08-11-2024 11:21am

double episode christmas special this year for call the midwife.

Next series of Strike is back in December also (the ink black heart), love these so looking forward to seeing this adaptation of what was the 6th book in the series.

I’ve a feeling Wonka is going to be the big Christmas movie on Sky Premiere this year.
