Voters know me from Gavin and Stacey, says Prescott

Former deputy PM John Prescott says his appearance on hit BBC show Gavin and Stacey did more for his political profile than 40 years of campaigning.

Gavin wants to call it quits with Stacey

Although Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb, his co-stars in Gavin & Stacey, have set their hearts on seeing the award-winning BBC comedy series turned into a film, Matthew Horne tells me that it would be "a terrible idea."

If you missed season three of this ever-wonderful family sitcom, you can catch the entire run tonight. Some of the dynamics of the show are changing: Nessa (Ruth Jones) seems less amenable, Mick (Larry Lamb) a little spikier (shades of his EastEnders character?) and Bryn (Rob Brydon) even stranger, but it remains sweet-natured. As the final series opens, Gavin (Mathew Horne) has started a new job in Cardiff so Stacey (Joanna Page) is back at home in Barry and a christening is being planned for baby Neil, but there's a shock in store for his father, Smithy (James Corden).

Star says there is more to come

Star Larry Lamb says there is more to come, as 140,000 fans join Facebook campaign to bring back Gavin and Stacey.

The final episode of Gavin and Stacey saw lovesick Smithy interrupt Nessa's wedding to Dave Coaches with a speech so poignant, funny and beautifully delivered that you could almost forgive writer/star James Corden for Horne & Corden. Almost, but not quite.

Vanessa and Dave's nuptials are imminent and Stacey has exciting news for Gavin. Meanwhile Smithy hovers between Leigh Delamere services and the Severn Bridge, wondering whether he should call a halt to the wedding. And Corden totally nails his performance in this final episode. He should stick to acting. As a series closer, it does everything necessary to leave you feeling like you've had three courses and coffee, and you can't say fairer than that. Farewell, Gavin and Stacey. It was your time to go, but it was a good death.

According to co-writers Ruth Jones and James Corden, this is the show's last ever episode, and the series ends, as all self-respecting feelgood comedy dramas should, with a wedding, a big revelation and a semi-ironic blast of Angry Anderson's Suddenly. Controversially, the BBC has already released the DVD of this third series, so you may already know that John Prescott makes a brief cameo, and that Nessa (Jones) is towed to the church in a trailer attached to the back of her father's brown Mini Metro. But if not: enjoy.
