´óÏó´«Ã½

The third series of Gavin And Stacey is back on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One. Hurrah! Tell us about it. What's new?

I guess the biggest change is that Gavin has moved to Barry and Nessa now lives in the caravan with Dave. We meet some new characters this time too. But the core of the show is essentially the same.

And what about Smithy? What's been happening in his life?

Well he's having to adjust to Gav not being there and come to terms with the fact that his son is being brought up with Nessa and Dave. You feel like he's at a bit of a crossroads this series.

How is Smithy coping now his best mate has moved to Wales? Will we be seeing Smithy upping sticks to Barry?

I think it would take a lot for Smithy to leave Essex! But you never know...

Is that really it? You won't be tempted to write just one more series or special?

There will never be another series of the show. I think Ruth and I are definite about that. As far as specials are concerned, I think if we had an idea for a story with these characters then maybe, but I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.

What about Gavin And Stacey The Movie?

I think some things should be on TV and some things should be on stage and some things should be films. Gavin And Stacey is a TV show and that's where it's best.

At the end of the Christmas special we saw Smithy asking Nessa not to marry Dave – what's occurin' there then?

I think the Christmas special is where we saw Smithy at his most vulnerable, his whole world has changed and he doesn't quite know which way to go. He's lost if truth be told.

We think they're perfect for each other – please tell us Smithy and Nessa live happily ever after?

I can't possibly even begin to tell you that sort of information.

What is your favourite bit from the new series?

I really love episode six. It's everything I wanted it to be. It felt like Ruth and I could see this end point for so long, and it really lives up to everything that was in our heads.

Do you and Ruth have any plans to collaborate together on any other projects in the future?

I can't wait to get back in a room with her and start writing our next project. I'm so excited about it.

Are there any famous faces popping up?

There may be one or two but I'm not gonna spoil it!

And finally... the suspense is killing us. Do we ever find out about Bryn and Jason and that fishing trip?

I could tell you, but I'd have to get Ruth to kill you!
