Gavin and Stacey returns for Christmas special: Here's a look back at the show's best bits

As Gavin and Stacey returns to our screens this Christmas, we take a look back at some of the best bits.

James Corden announced on Tuesday that the Bafta-winning show, which last aired in 2010, was coming back for a one-hour special on Christmas Day.

In a joint statement, Corden and Jones - who play Smithy and Nessa in the show - said: "Over the last ten years we've talked a lot about Gavin and Stacey - where they might be today and what their lives might look like.

"And so in secret we took the plunge and wrote this one hour special.

"We've loved revisiting Barry and Essex again, and bringing the characters back together has been a joy."

We've remembered some of the best bits from the iconic show ahead of its spin-off episode.
