June 20th 2024.
The beloved Gavin and Stacey cast is reuniting for a Christmas special, and we caught up with one of its stars, Rob Brydon, in the heart of London's bustling Regent Street. As we bask in the summer sunshine, our thoughts turn to the festive season and the highly-anticipated episode that will feature Rob once again as the lovable Uncle Bryn.
Despite the immense excitement surrounding the reunion, Rob remains calm and collected, trusting in the talents of writers Ruth Jones and James Corden. He hopes they will give him some juicy scenes to sink his teeth into, but ultimately, he is just happy to be a part of the beloved show one final time.
While Rob knows a few details about the upcoming episode, there is one thing he is passionate about – keeping the mystery of the infamous fishing trip alive. Fans have been dying to know what exactly happened on that trip between Uncle Bryn and his nephew Jason, but Rob believes it should remain a secret. He even jokes that people often ask him directly for information about it.
But while we wait for the Christmas special, Rob has been keeping busy with his new project, an Amazon TV series called My Lady Jane. Set in 1553, it offers a fantastical twist on the story of Lady Jane Grey, the nine-day queen of England. Rob plays Lord Dudley, the father of Jane's love interest, and he describes it as a chaotic mix of Bridgerton, Twilight, and Succession.
Despite playing such a different character from Uncle Bryn, Rob found joy in embracing a new role and challenging himself as an actor. He is joined by the talented Anna Chancellor, who portrays Jane's less-than-nice mother, Lady Frances Grey. Both Rob and Anna had a great time on set, with Rob even joking about scheduling lunches and enjoying time at home in between filming.
However, the job did come with its challenges, particularly when it came to working with horses. Rob admits he was nervous around them, and even Anna, who used to ride as a child, had her struggles. But ultimately, they persevered and had a fantastic time bringing the show to life.
As we eagerly await the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special and My Lady Jane, we can't help but appreciate the dedication and talent of the Gavin and Stacey cast. It's clear that they have a special bond, and we can't wait to see them reunite on screen once again.
It's that time of year again, when the Christmas spirit starts to fill the air and everyone is looking forward to spending time with their loved ones. And for fans of the hit TV show Gavin and Stacey, the holiday season is even more special this year, as the beloved cast is reuniting for a Christmas special. As we sit down with the talented actor Rob Brydon in a luxurious hotel in London, we can feel the energy and excitement building up for this highly-anticipated episode.
Despite the fact that summer has finally arrived in the bustling city and we can finally put away our trench coats and umbrellas, our thoughts immediately turn to Christmas. And who can blame us? After all, this will be the first time in 17 years that we'll get to see Rob don his woollen cardigan and portray the beloved character of Uncle Bryn once again. But while the rest of us are eagerly anticipating the return of Gavin and Stacey, Rob remains surprisingly laid-back about the whole thing. He trusts the writers, Ruth Jones and James Corden, to give him some juicy material to work with.
Speaking at a press junket for his upcoming show My Lady Jane at the Hotel Cafe Royal, Rob expresses his confidence in Ruth and James and their ability to deliver a fantastic script. And while he may not have seen it yet, he knows a few things that will happen in the episode. However, there is one thing that he feels strongly about - he hopes the fishing trip between Uncle Bryn and his nephew Jason remains a mystery. This ongoing gag has kept fans guessing for years, and Rob believes that it should stay that way. Even though people often ask him for answers, he insists that the not knowing is what makes it so special.
But let's not get too ahead of ourselves - we still have six months to wait for the Christmas special. In the meantime, let's focus on Rob's current project, My Lady Jane. Set in the year 1553, this Amazon TV series takes a different spin on the historical figure of Lady Jane Grey. Rob plays Lord Dudley, the father of Jane's love interest, and he describes the show as a mix of Bridgerton, Twilight, and Succession. It's a chaotic and exciting world, and Rob is enjoying the opportunity to play a different type of character.
Comparing Lord Dudley to Uncle Bryn, Rob explains that he feels comfortable playing the latter because it's so similar to his upbringing in Wales. But with Lord Dudley, he had to tap into a different side of himself and explore new depths as an actor. And he's not the only one - Anna Chancellor, who plays Jane's mother, also had to embrace her character's not-so-nice tendencies. But despite the chaos and deception on-screen, the cast had a great time on set, with Rob and Anna often enjoying long breaks between filming days.
Of course, no project is without its challenges, and for Rob and Anna, it was the horses on set that made them nervous. Even for someone like Anna, who rode as a child, working with horses can be unpredictable and intimidating. But they both persevered and had an amazing time filming this unique and exciting show.
So as we eagerly wait for the Christmas special and My Lady Jane, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible work of these talented actors and their dedication to their craft. And who knows, maybe one day we'll finally find out what really happened on that infamous fishing trip. But for now, the mystery remains, and that's just the way Rob likes it.
