Bryn on new products] “You think they’ve thought of it all. You think, ‘Where can they go with this next?’ and then they hit you with it. I mean mint Baileys! Whatever will they think of next!?” (Photo: BBC) Jesus (Daniel Curtis) – A friend of Gavin and Smithy's. He only appears in the stag episode; most likely owing to the fact that no one in the group really seems to like him.

What's the deal with Doris and Noel from Hear'say? I worry that he may not be able to satisfy her needs. Owain Hughes ( Steven Meo) – one of Gavin's co-workers at his new job in Cardiff in Series 3. Constantly the subject of an unclear joke – "My name is Owain Hughes and before you ask, no I don't!". Ar Sheridan starred as Smithy’s sister before she became the ITV drama go to girly, and when she was still dating James Corden (cursed). I always enjoy her carnage, even if she’s a pretty minor character. Deano

Hi, Morgan! The whole thing is absolutely genius. Where did the idea come around?

Bryn: “It is, Gavin, it is, provided you remember the one golden rule, and I’ll tell you what, it took me a while to get my head round it. What it is, you have to start everything with ‘w-w-w-dot’. And the best thing to do is to think of something to help remind you, like with me now, I think of ‘whiskey with water’ which was my brother – God rest his soul – my brother’s favourite drink. But it could be anything. I mean, you could say… come on, three w’s. Um… ‘women… wearing wings’. No, don’t say that, that’s a terrible one.” Gavin and Stacey ran for 3 seasons, as well as a 2019 Christmas Special which was set 10 years later.

Bryn on current affairs] “On HTV Wales this morning, they said Cardiff town had been literally decimated by a group of unruly school girls. Joking I am! It wasn’t on the news. Although, on the news, there was a story about a group of school girls who actually stabbed a teacher, which I think is disgusting.”After all, lots of shows have nice ideas and good actors, but very few of them ignite the nation’s interest to such a degree that two characters get to make a number one single with Tom Jones, while another gets to coach the England football team in a Comic Relief sketch. This is a show that almost everybody seemed to love, and I think a big part of that is the human drama at its core.

Love him so much, and not to sound like those weird girlies on the internet who never really grew out of their Horrible Histories Mathew Baynton obsession – but he’s so cute. Aw. Not that funny but great in other ways tier Gwen So many funny moments that make Bryn and all his weird quirks so special. I think my fave Bryn moment ever is when he does the trial interview with Stacey for her job. Not sure if that’s because he traumatises her and it brings me joy, or if it’s because it’s hilarious when he calls himself “Declan… McPartlin.” Doris Bryn: “Oh… Ah… Now that is a thought. Yes. Yes. Stacey, please inform the Shipmans that I accept their offer and very much look forward to meeting them.” (Photo: BBC) Bravo then, to all involved in the show. Oh go on, all together now…“Meet me tomorrow, I’ll wait by the window for you…”!Gary (Jason Gregg) – A friend of Gavin and Smithy's. He has been friends with them since primary school. He is never seen without his best friend Simon; except for in Series 3, where it appears they have had an argument. A big nope from me. Introduced as Smithy’s new girlfriend in the 2019 Christmas special, no one’s supposed to like Sonia anyway. But I don’t think she even succeeds on that level… She’s just pointless. This special should have just had Smithy and Nessa together, or at least both single and they get together over the course of the special. Sonia enters the game too late. Flop. Jason Lucy – Smithy's much younger girlfriend, who is still in secondary school. She is never seen on-screen, and dumps Smithy in Series 2 when he discovers that she has been seeing somebody else. In a running joke meant to illustrate the age gap between her and Smithy, she is often mentioned to be doing activities that would normally be associated with younger people (such as Brownies or trampolining).

Will there be a Christmas special next year? Do we even want one – maybe it's time to draw a line? The final verdict Deano ( Mathew Baynton) is a friend of Gavin and Smithy's. He works with Smithy and is known for being gormless and somewhat naïve. He learnt Welsh prior to coming over to Wales with the "Essex Lads". He wasn't at Gavin's stag, but got a T-shirt made afterwards when they went to the foam party. Among his idiosyncrasies is a fondness for drinking a mixture of equal parts tea and coffee, which he calls a "toffee" or a "cea" (pronounced "key"). Stacey: “I had a brunch I did. Oh, I got up so late cos I set the alarm for ten but I didn’t get up till gone eleven and I thought well I’m too early for lunch and I’m too late for breakfast, so I just had a banana. But if anything that made me more hungry. So I ended up having a sandwich, some cereal and a yoghurt, which is brunch innit? So I rang my mum and I said I’ve just had my first ever brunch.” Ah, Stacey is finally pregnant, having taken 34 pregnancy tests "just to make sure". This is not necessarily unlikely as I neither know nor care about the motility of Gavin's sperm, but it would have been nice for that particularly storyline not to have ended quite so tidily. Happy ever after can have the odd bump in the road, no? Smithy/Nessa updateHarri, Caitlin & Megan Shipman (Gabriel Mitell, Martha Tregonning, Maddison Belle Platt) – Gavin and Stacey's children who first appear in the 2019 Christmas Special. They share names with Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Smithy is 28 and he is a self-employed builder and decorator. He is very protective of Gavin—he is disappointed when Gavin gets engaged to Stacey and when Gavin and Stacey go on a honeymoon, he calls Gavin every day for the three weeks they are there, and gets angry at Gavin for leaving his phone off. He loves Gavin's parents more than his own and has an unseen girlfriend called Lucy, who, according to Smithy, is seventeen and three-quarter years old.
