The burning questions Gavin and Stacey MUST answer as BBC confirms sitcom will be back ‘one day’
GAVIN & Stacey fans have been buzzing since learning the beloved sitcom would return "one day".
The BBC gave the show's fans reason to hope as it unveiled its Christmas line-up yesterday and revealed Gavin & Stacey would make a comeback at some point in the future.
Last year's Christmas special was a ratings boon for the Beeb, after a massive 11.6million viewers watched it live and the equivalent of more than 80 YEARS on BBC iPlayer.
But according to its director of TV, Charlotte Moore. did reveal that a follow-up special in 2020 was never on the cards.
"That wasn't something that was going to happen this year," Moore revealed.
But then she dropped the bombshell: "One day."
The 2019 Christmas special ended with Nessa unexpectedly getting down on one knee and proposing to Smithy.
Ruth Jones - the Gavin & Stacey co-creator and Nessa actress - has admitted it could take another 10 years to see a new episode of the comedy.
A lot could happen in the lives of the Billericay and Barry mob before we see them on our tellys again and these are the questions we think need to be answered.
Do Smithy and Nessa get hitched?
Let's start with the obvious one off the bat.
Smithy had planned to propose to his demanding girlfriend Sonia on Christmas Day, but she hoofed it back to Essex once she met his blended 'family'.
Nessa then took the opportunity to profess her undying love to Smithy, the night after they had 'electric' sex.
It could really go either way, with both admitting they have shared a unique, but great relationship.
How will Gavin and Stacey's stale marriage hold up
In the Christmas special we see the married couple try to spice up their sexless and stale marriage.
They end up going on a nostalgic tour of Barry Island and rekindle some of their romance.
But given they have three young kids and the forces of middle age facing them, will they be able to keep things spicy in the future.
What really happened on the boat with Uncle Bryn and Jason
The tale that can make a room fall silent, is the great mystery behind what happened on boat trip between Uncle Bryn and Jason.
The pair did not speak for years following the mysterious incident and almost spilled the beans at Christmas last year.
But will we ever find out what was so bad that they haven't discussed it in more than 13 years.
Will Pam ever get to use the good towels
Pam essentially goes Bear Grylls whenever she stays at Gwen's house on Barry Island.
Last year, she bought Gwen a new set of luxurious towels to replace her last set which had been a wedding present in 1982.
Pam hates Gwen's hard, old towels but when she tried to replace them with her gift, the new towels were snapped up by others in the house, leaving Pam to use the old ones anyway.
Will she ever get to use the lovely towels round at Gwen's or will she face a lifetime of uncomfortable drying off.
Does Bryn settle his debt with Dick Powell
Described as Barry's own Del Boy, Dick Powell has popped up throughout the series, flogging random wares.
He's sold everything from Black Market sat navs to meat he's stolen from the slaughterhouse.
But Bryn has put his foot down and refuses to remunerate Dick for his bespoke bread sauce.

Bryn won't pay him his £5 because he won't fork out "good money for a pot of bread sauce which is essentially nothing more than a container of ready brek".

Dick's a pretty persistent guy though, and we may well see Bryn settle his debt.
Gavin & Stacey is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
