When Gavin Met Stacey and Everything in Between: A Story of Love and Friendship (hardcover), by Ruth Jones (Author), James Corden (Author)
 
From the BAFTA award-winning co-creators Ruth Jones and James Corden, discover the story behind the story of one of our most beloved shows.

'Gavin & Stacey’ is a TV series like no other. Now, for the first time, its creators tell the full extraordinary story of how they turned their little show into a full-on cultural phenomenon.

As they recount the rejection, obstacles and challenges they faced on the way to giving birth to their beloved comedy creation, Ruth and James also explore the flourishing of their own real-life friendship. While their now legendary on-screen characters Nessa and Smithy had a profound awkwardness to negotiate, culminating in that marriage proposal in the 2019 Christmas special, Ruth and James forged a magical relationship of mutual support based also on a deep, shared sense of subversive fun.

Here, from their tentative initial pitch to the emotionally overwhelming final day of filming, the duo detail what’s occurred every step of the way, bouncing off each other in inimitable style.

Full of revelations and never-before-heard stories, this is a one-of-a-kind book about a show that’s already gone down in history.
