Gavin and Stacey Returning This Month

UK odd couple Gavin and Stacey are coming back this month for a third series. After the explosive Christmas special last year, the latest season is sure to be an interesting exploration of the star crossed – or rather region crossed – lovers.

Here’s an excerpt from the BBC’s press release last Friday:

Series 3… With four British Comedy Awards, two Baftas and a South Bank Show award to its name, Gavin And Stacey returns for a new series on BBC One.

As Gavin starts his new job, the move to Barry Island means big changes for the whole family. Pam and Mick have to adjust to an empty nest while Gwen’s got a full house again.

Stacey is in her element, but will this finally be the solution to the couple’s long-distance problem? And how will Gavin take to living in Wales?

Smithy questions their friendship along with his own role as father – and with Dave Coaches on the scene and now engaged to Nessa, will Smithy find himself pushed out of the frame? How will life in a caravan work out for Nessa and her soon-to-be husband Dave?

Joining the cast as Smithy’s mum, Cath, is Pam Ferris.

Sounds very exciting – no word yet as to when it will air on BBC America. Hopefully it will be soon. They haven’t even aired the Christmas Special from last year yet.
