James Corden and Ruth Jones

Join Gavin & Stacey's writer and performer team – James Corden and Ruth Jones – as they tell the backstage story of this multi-award-winning BBC show and how its audience grew from 500,000 to 23 million. In this exclusive Hay Festival event, the pair talk to Hay Festival Global Chair Jay Hunt about the show's origins, its meteoric rise, and that epic Christmas special, as well as sharing insights into their 25-year friendship, working relationship. Together they have written When Gavin Met Stacey and Everything in Between: A Story of Love and Friendship, out later this year.
