Ruth Jones on Gavin & Stacey and Sister Act The Musical

[@maureenrhysjones4643]

Just gorgeous! Thank you.xx

[@ibaisaic]

I’m sure Gavin & Stacey will be the highlight of my Christmas viewing this year. Loved Ruth in Hattie too.

[@edd4875]

Yes! I forgot about that, she was brilliant in that

[@BGCW_86]

The love between these two is just joyous to watch 😊

[@linda-b6e]

Business arrangement, he probably lives elsewhere don't be thick darling...as for her and that tatty pendant she is trying to flog for someone...as far as the rest of the world is concerned, she is zoe of the crappy 12 day advent calendar and nothing will take that away from her tragic reputation. He is a decent lad, he just needs to wake up and get rid.

[@marcgriffo]

watching Ruth and Rob together its just so joyous!

[@angelawishart8745]

What a lovely interview! Watching from Ontario, Canada, but being Welsh I am so looking forward to the Christmas Day Gavin and Stacey special. Thanks, Rob for presenting Ruth on your podcast. Very enjoyable 🤩

[@sueengle9282]

Actress ! Yes. Thank You Ruth. The response that comes into my head like a big neon light: Are you a god, or a godess ? What’s to be denied about being a woman ???

[@gabriellag2611]

So lovely to listen to the two of you talk together ❤

[@meere7403]

At 2.21 I was waiting for Oh Bryn don’t raise your voice me alright! 😂

[@JeannieDCruz]

I saw Lesley Joseph in pantomime in Cardiff last year on New Year’s Eve. She was extraordinary. She can hold an audience in the palm of her hand and was utterly wonderful.

[@Glamrockqueen]

Got to be my favourite so far. So lovely and relaxed. You can tell they have a genuine affection for on another.

[@ralphzimmermann]

She was amazing in Saxondale, one of the best TV comedy series.

[@danieladams9950]

Always thought Gwynn Pitt as a haughty individual. Thanks to Ruth for confirming. Great thing about Ruth and Rob: so genuine in their interactions, no evidence of showbiz ego.

[@stewmott3763]

And she's worked with James Corden, so she knows a showbiz ego when she sees one.

[@LucasR-xl4sl]

Always great to see you both talking together, more please! =) x

[@aprilkepler1702]

Love these friends. ❤

[@colinthompson3111]

Always enjoy Rob Brydon's gentle humor and attempt to be multicultural.

[@meirionevans5137]

'You'll be Gwynn Pitt!' Love it.

[@60-second-HACKS]

Loved that Gwyn Pitt anecdote. Who'd have thought she'd be horrible. Meeeeee!!!!!

[@huwlewis9059]

Was 3-4 years ahead of Ruth and Rob at the same school. So missed them in school productions. But they reminded me of Les Edwards, one of the teachers, a real character. Teachers 40 years ago had a freer rein to entertain pupils, so were far more full of character than the shackled teachers today.

[@matzar44]

I was in Ruth's year in Nottage and P. Comp and knew her very well. I never had Les as an English teacher (Mr Henson was one I recall) but years later he (Les) was my dad's campaign manager when he stood in a general election for the Monster Raving Loony Party. A well loved character indeed.

[@huwlewis9059]

@@matzar44 Mr Henson was great. While in the lower sixth, i.e. aged 17, he took two of us to Cardiff to hear some lecture one Friday evening, and stopped off to buy us a beer (!!) on the way home.

[@Lc-ju5lx]

She’s a great actress!!!!

[@stevemsmith1]

Can you cast Gwyn Pitt in the next G&S and cut her?

[@suehurrell134]

😅😅

Gwyn is a boy’s name in Welsh

Paltrow sounds like a right barrel of laughs…

That was good fun !!!

[@muzza9575]

When Rob and Ruth Jones take to the stage together on December 16th any chance that the other Jones.....Tom, will be involved ?😜

[@drychaf]

Sut mae Cymraeg Ruth yn dod ymlaen? So much talent, the novels weren't even mentioned : )

[@Gavinius]

Gwyn Pitt!!! BWAHAHAHA!😂😂😂

[@Benyboy2727]

Superb hair mr brydon

[@garylaverty6636]

Love the actress comments / discussion - totally agree!!

[@theneurogenderpodcast]

You two should do Fairytale of New York in December!!!!! Please, pretty please...

[@Caolanj29]

I believe its going to be set in essex (alternating christmases) so we might get a smithy and gavin duet 😂

[@moretoknowshow1887]

The big question is, will we find out what really happened w/ Uncle Bryn??

[@nicksummers-vt4pt]

Doris, where's the salad?

[@C64Mat]

[@angeloddrev]

Apparently not, which is how it should be lol

[@b4ckdoorb4nga40]

I can understand the cast not excited about doing another G&S living and enjoying the moment and all but it’s very rare these days for people to be so fixated and in love with certain programmes on tv like they are towards G&S I would say to the cast soak it up enjoy the fact that people like me absolutely love the show watched them all numerous times and will do in the future

[@angeloddrev]

Right, I live in the town and everyone's so excited. Had a workman arrive here from an hour away and he was so thrilled to be in the town while they're filming. It's sad they don't understand the sheer joy and excitement so many are feeling. It's one of those rare shows that just brings cosy vibes, warmth, loving family and friends, and we're grown up with the show. It's really old now. I don't know anything I'm still loving from that long ago that still exists. Even the island looks different in some parts to the first series it's been so long! There was sadness and disappointment when we were told the last episode was the end. It was such a cliff hanger, but we came to accept we'd never know. And we all knew it was because James was so busy in America. We're bound to be excited that we finally get to find out what happens! Everyone I speak to can't wait! Nothing happens here that much, and the positive affect it has on the town is unmistakeable. I hope Ruth realizes what a positive influence it's had here, and how glad we are she chose Barry. I get why so many are so happy. It's #1 watched for a reason, it has a lot of fans.

[@b4ckdoorb4nga40]

@@angeloddrev very well said, I can’t agree more, it definitely is a warm cosy vibe watching the show I think that’s why it was as successful as it was at least for me anyway, it put Barry on the map as I sure never heard of it prior to the show and I will definitely visit one day

[@jones8503]

Funny how ruth Mentions her films. I watched her in East is East. I wonder how long it took to train the Dalmatian dog in that film.

[@AnMal01-h6b]

Yay, Ruth Jones!! 😀 Laughed so hard at Gwyn Pitt - but in her defence (from someone who has a fairly uncommon name) she's probably spent more time in her life talking to strangers about her name than she has talking about her work. It gets hard to muster any sort of enthusiasm on the topic, which probably made her come across as more dismissive than she wanted to be.

[@kevinlance1813]

Seems like I say this every time I see Ruth Jones do anything so I will apologize for the repetition, BUT, please dear bring back Gavin and Stacey. Please.

[@LUFC123]

In the last Xmas special why didn't anyone ask Bryn how he's suddenly got a full head of hair

Lovely 🤩

[@nbell63]

I would've really enjoyed the lovely surprise of finding Ruth Jones singing X'mas ditties on stage, mid-December ... but some pillock's gone and spoilt it... (tsk') 😯 (🤭)

[@carina9295]

No offence but is this the closest we’ll get to hearing James Corden on the ‘cast? I know he’s on a rival network (SiriusXM) but still…

[@EstebanJulianRamos]

Love these 2, but "actor" isn't gendered. Unless you say doctress, in which case, ignore my comment.

[@paulrowlston4239]

Tidy

[@123bwlch]

Diolch Rob a Ruth. Dal ati.

[@oxcart4172]

I'm wondering whether James started out as horrible, or has he gotten worse?

[@Chris-mi7dy]

There's a fairly well known story where Rob gave James a dressing down for allowing his ego to get too big during the height of Gavin and Stacey. That would've been around 15 years ago, so it sounds like he's perhaps always let fame go to his head a bit too much

[@stewmott3763]

@@Chris-mi7dy Looks like he didn't listen, unfortunately.

[@oatymilkshake]

Always great to hear you slag off trans people in the first few minutes of a podcast, really makes me want to keep listening. 🙃 The resources to learn about gender theory are all out there, instead of participating in harmful “I identify as an attack helicopter” style jokes how about educate yourselves first.

[@stewmott3763]

Criticise the joke all you like, but I think it's a bit much to accuse them of 'slagging off' trans people.

[@MrWibble]

@ 3:18....Ahem, shouldn't that be "Actressing"? Just saying...😄

[@stewmott3763]

No, because there's no such word as 'actoring' either.

[@Parawingdelta2]

"Acting jobs"? Shouldn't that be "Actressing jobs"?

[@stewmott3763]

No, because both actors and actresses do acting jobs. Unless you've read the phrase 'actoring jobs' somewhere?

[@graemeadamson7272]

Couldn't give a FF tbh .

[@FiveSigma72]

I like Ruth but Gavin and Stacey is one of the most overrated shows of all time. The characters are either lacking any personality at all or are actively awful. Loved her in Saxondale though.

[@TheTurquoiseAlien]

You’re crazy.

[@tbass94]

Strong disagree although I do agree that the title characters are the least interesting in the show

[@FiveSigma72]

Hate to break this to you, but you just clicked on one of his videos.

Rob brydons voice is just awful. It sounds like the last breath of a dying crow. And all that bad acting and pretending you are nice - don’t wash.
