00:00What can you tell us about what's going on with Gavin and Stacey?
00:02Well, we only got the script for this. This is a new special that'll be on on Christmas Day.
00:07Christmas Day!
00:07And it winds everything up and, you know, it had been...
00:11Well, first of all, we knew it was going to happen, but we were told we had to keep it a secret.
00:15So you have to lie to people, so people will come up at any...
00:18No, I don't know anything.
00:20That's a horrible feeling, because you don't want to lie to somebody right in the face.
00:25Then it was announced, but even when it was announced, we hadn't seen the script.
00:29So it was a couple of months before the cast saw the script.
00:32I only saw it. We were on holiday. We were away.
00:34But a month ago, I read it. Oh, it's so good.
00:39Now, you would say that, wouldn't you?
00:40I would not. No, no, I kind of wouldn't. I wouldn't, actually.
00:44It's really... I don't want to tempt fate, you know, touch wood, but I think it's fantastic.
00:48All right, now, you were reading the script out to your wife...
00:51Yes.
00:51...as you were going on holiday, weren't you?
00:53Yeah, I was, yeah.
00:53And you were tearing up.
00:54Don't tell James and Ruth that, because they are very secretive.
00:56No, no.
00:57They would probably rather I didn't read it to anybody.
00:59And also, I'm just making this spitter.
01:02Yeah, I was. And do you know what? I was moved to tears.
01:04Yeah.
01:05Because it's emotional and...
01:07Right, so production schedule-wise, read-throughs next week, or...?
01:11Yes, we start all the... Next week is rehearsals. This week is CarFest. Next week is rehearsals.
01:17Week after that, we start filming it.
01:19Brilliant. Absolutely amazing. How excited are you to get back together?
01:22I really am, because I know this will be the last time.
01:24This really is it.
01:25Oh, yeah, yeah. We'll all be together, because we all get on so well.
01:31And I think it has been 17 years since we started.
01:36It's a long time, man.
01:37Which is crazy.
