Joanna Page wants Gavin and Stacey return

Joanna Page wants to see ‘Gavin and Stacey’ return for another special.
The 42-year-old actress stars as the titular Stacey in the popular BBC sitcom, and was thrilled to reunite with her co-stars last year for a Christmas special, which aired 10 years after the show’s final episode.
And now, Joanna has said she has "no idea" if the show will make another return, but she’d be keen to get back on set if it does.
She confessed: "If I had to put a bet on it I would say yes – but I have no idea if it is coming back.
"I thought we would never do it again, I spent 10 years telling people we were never doing it again, then suddenly we did the special!
"But when I first read [the script] on my phone and got to the end I thought: ‘What!! They can’t leave it like that!!’
"I want to know if Smithy is going to say yes, so they’ve got to do one."
If the show – which was created by James Corden and Ruth Jones, who also star alongside Matthew Horne – did make a return for another special, Joanna would love to see it filmed in Spain.
She added to The Sun Online: "I would really like to do a holiday special.
"They should set it in Spain and we should be out there filming for at least a month, that’s what I am putting forward – I want it to be set in Spain."
Joanna’s comments come after Larry Lamb – who plays Gavin’s dad Mick – recently said he believes the BBC will be eager for another series, because the Christmas special proved so popular.
He said: "The situation we are in, with 17 million people the BBC won’t want to leave that one hanging.
"The audience is there, and I would be up for [a return]".
