#GavinAndStacey behind-the-scenes details, which were revealed during a Q&A.

Sonia (Laura Aikman) stayed in different hotels than the crew to protect the plot.

She even didn't tell her parents she was in it, who are tuning in to the finale tonight alongside her.

Two people who stood up at the wedding on Sonia’s side were extras and stood up spontaneously, surprising the film and crew.

"They were so in [the plot], they just stood up," Corden said.

Neil the Baby (Oscar), who was one of the original babies back in series three.

He sang on The Voice so they decided to make him sing at the ceremony.

Ruth Jones, who wasn’t Nessa that day and was behind the cameras, cried behind the camera.

It has been quite the election, so here are my WTF TV election moments from 2024 ✨

2. And when, earlier that day, the same loudspeaker played the Imperial March (aka the Darth Vader theme), which could be heard on Sky News

“Netflix to reveal for first time how many people watch its shows in the UK”!!! theguardian.com/media/2022/oct…

Netflix is to join the audience measurement system BARB, which means that we can finally see how popular their shows are compared to shows on traditional TV channels.

They made a promise back in 2019 - and they’re following through with it.

Why are Netflix doing this?

* They are launching an ad-supported model, so they need to have transparency so that advertisers can be convinced to part with cash.

* When Netflix have a really big show, it'll now be obvious. Their shows will also make BARB's Top 50 shows.
