Gavin and Stacey stars are returning to Barry Island to film new show

Two Gavin and Stacey stars are set to head to Barry Island to film a brand new show.  

Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman, who play Gavin’s parents Mick and Pam Shipman, are back in the seaside resort town in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales. 

The pair will make their TV return as they set off on a 210 mile journey from Billericay in Essex to Barry to revisit filming locations. 

In the three-part series Alison & Larry: Billericay To Barry, Larry, 75, and Alison, 76, will take a trip down memory lane and include some special guests during their travels. 

Speaking about filming the upcoming show, Larry said: ‘I am really looking forward to reminiscing with Alison whilst taking the trip from Billericay to Barry, it was such a huge part in the plot of Gavin And Stacey.

‘This journey holds a special place in my heart and I hope the fans are pleased with it.’

Alison added: ‘I can’t wait to take this trip down memory lane to explore Pam and Mick’s neck of the woods, as well as so many other locations precious to me.

‘And who better to do it with than Larry! I’m so excited to be reunited.’

While fans can revisit filming locations with Larry and Alison, Mathew Horne shut down speculation last year of a Gavin and Stacey reboot. 

The actor, 44, claimed fans desiring the comedy’s return ‘is not enough of a reason’, adding that the writers ‘want to make sure that they have a story’ first.

During on Graham Norton’s Virgin Radio show, Mathew added how difficult it was to get the ensemble together for the 2019 Christmas special, which was later declared the most-viewed non-sporting event in a decade.

He said: ‘Obviously, the BBC would like more. James [Corden] and Ruth [Jones] have always said that they would only do more if they had a story and a reason to do it.

‘Just because people want it is not enough of a reason to do it for them. They want to make sure that they have a story.

‘They don’t want to let the the piece down and let the audience down. They don’t just want to do it for the sake of doing it.

I genuinely don’t know if they’re planning on doing more.’

Mathew – who played the titular Gavin in the series – revealed he has an ‘allegiance’ to the mega-hit, and would return if he were asked.

He said: ‘It’s quite a large ensemble and one filled with successful people. It was difficult to get everyone together last time, so it would be equally difficult to do it again.

Alison & Larry: Billericay To Barry is set to air later this summer on Gold.
