James Corden thinks it would be a "shame" not to do more 'Gavin & Stacey'.

The 42-year-old actor co-created the BBC sitcom with the help of Ruth Jones, and has admitted he'd love to make another episode of the hit show after the Christmas special in 2019 ended on a cliffhanger.
James - who plays Neil 'Smithy' Smith in the show - explained: "As it stands right now, there aren’t any plans to do one, but that’s not to say that there isn’t the want or the inclination to do one … that special ends on such a ... it’s so open-ended that I think it would be a shame to leave it there.
"That’s certainly my feeling and I think Ruth feels the same. It doesn’t feel like the end of a book, it feels like the end of a chapter, so I do feel like if we ever did another one that would be the end of it."
James admitted that if another episode does happen, fans and BBC bosses won't be given too much warning.
However, as things stand, he hasn't discussed any ideas with Ruth.
He said on the BBC Radio 2 'Breakfast Show': "We’d finished [the last episode] before we called the BBC because we just didn’t want to make anything that would in any way let everybody down.
"And so my hunch is no-one will ever know if it’s coming until we’ve got it, but we haven’t had a single conversation about it … we also can’t write separately, we’re terrible at it because they’re part writing sessions and part therapy sessions really.
"It feels sometimes like we open a portal, there’s all these characters in Barry Island, then slowly but surely these ideas present themselves and we just happen to be the two that write them down, you know."
