If you like Ruth Jones she was also in Saxondale - it's available in the streaming tv section.

The show is still wonderful. The part where Gavin's parents pretend to be Charles and Camilla had me in stitches and cringes.

I just started watching the first episode of the new sketch show featuring 'Corne and Horden'. The more I see the chubby one, the more I hate the world! I've really got no idea why he's popular.

BBC3, it started last night. Apparently it got that channel's greatest ever amount of viewers at more than 800 000. I'll be interested to see how that stands next week...

I finally caught an episode of this and it's terrible. I just didn't find it funny at all. Shame.

yeah, and the worst part is that they've been given a second series...

Another piece of news today is that Ruth Jones is at the Prime Minister's G20 reception dinner tonight... why exactly, I'm not sure.

*gag* A second? What on earth? Ah well, I don't have to watch.

I wouldn't know why she is there. Is she representing Wales? :o

Gavin & Stacey Star Horne Collapses On Stage
8:56pm UK, April 02, 2009
Huw Borland,
Sky News Online
[/align]
Gavin and Stacey comedy star Mathew Horne has collapsed on stage during a performance of Entertaining Mr Sloane in London. The 30-year-old was said to have fallen to the floor 15 minutes into the second half of the show, during a scene with actor Simon Paisley Day.

Paisley Day reportedly called out for any doctors in the house to come forward, with Horne on the stage for 10 minutes before paramedics arrived. Horne was treated where he lay before the manager asked the audience to leave the Trafalgar Theatre.

His publicist Rupert Fowler told Sky News Online the actor did collapse but has since gone home after being treated in hospital. "I think everyone's aware he's been working flat-out over the last three months and he's been suffering a minor case of exhaustion," the publicist said. Mr Fowler said Horne had also been performing on stage "eight times a week", adding: "It's been a lot of work."

A theatre spokeswoman told Sky that Horne would not be starring in the play's next showing. She said understudy Fergus March would be assuming the ailing actor's role as Mr Sloane. After the collapse, co-star Imelda Staunton was said to have walked on to the stage and apologised to the audience for the interruption.

-------------------

'Is there a doctor in the house?' and 'the show must go on' in the same show? Those wacky luvvies.
