Gavin and Stacey's Ruth Jones and James Corden in tears as they share nerves ahead of final episode Gavin and Stacey creators Ruth Jones and James Corden were tearful yesterday as they spoke about bringing back their much-loved creation for one final time.
“Maybe the lesson for all of us, for people that write about television, for people that talk about television, for people that write television, is actually time and patience and care might be the answer for things to have a longevity outside of what we consume on our phones.”.
“You get young people now watching things at twice the speed that it was ever meant to be formatted at - but here’s a show that ended 15 years ago and we waited ten years to tell another hour of story and waited five more years to end it.
Asked for his thoughts on its continued success over three series and three Christmas specials sinee 2007, James said it might all come down to a “lesson in patience”.
He explained: “Particularly in TV, we talk about content and consumers and we talk about speed and we’ve decided that speed is the single most important thing in everything that you can do.
