The sitcom by James Corden and Ruth Jones will be remade by US TV network ABC, without any input from Corden or Jones….that seems a little strange.

ABC has reportedly ordered a pilot for this series, along with two other sitcoms – one from Cathy Yuspa and Josh Goldsmith and the other from the executive producer of Samantha Who, Don Todd.

Gavin and Stacey star Mat Horne has managed to offend a whole nation with his recent Twitter update.

As happens over Christmas, I missed a lot of the shows I wanted to watch so last night, I finally got a chance to catch up on a few things and one of them was the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special; what a load of …. you fill in the blanks.

I’ve never seen the show before but the trailers for it looked very funny, however the reality was far from it. There were a few funny moments but they were far outweighed by the ludicrous characterisation.

What’s Nessa about?? How is she supposed to be anything like a real person? She really was too ridiculous to watch and was without doubt was the low point of the whole show for me.
