The podcast will see the two TV favourites chat about what they\u2019ve been loving and not liking as much on the small screen, plus provide inside knowledge from their own wide-spanning careers.<\/p>\n
The pair are set to be \u201cthe perfect companions to your viewing habits\u201d, according to the synopsis.<\/p>\n
With Page being best known for her starring role in BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey and Cassidy having been in Albert Square for a staggering 30 years, it\u2019s safe to say that fans will be anticipating some tidbits from both shows \u2013 and it seems as though ideas for specials are already brewing with the podcast hosts.<\/p>\n
Chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the launch of Off The Telly and potential ideas for future episodes, Page said: \u201cIf the listeners go, \u2018Will you do a special about such and such? A Big Brother special, a Strictly special,\u2019 we would definitely be up for that.<\/p>\n \u201cAn Eastenders one or a Gavin & Stacey one. Because we\u2019re both actresses, we can both talk about shows we\u2019ve done and jobs we\u2019re on, different funny stories that we\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n Cassidy added: \u201cNothing\u2019s out of bounds, we can even do a morning one \u2013 Loose Women, This Morning, Morning Live. We can talk about anything. It\u2019s really open. It can go anywhere, really, which is really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n In the first episode of Off The Telly, which is out now, Page and Cassidy: \u201cGet to grips with the return of Gladiators, share their hot takes on the latest series of The Apprentice, and argue over what\u2019s right and what\u2019s not in Netflix\u2019s adaptation of the popular novel One Day, and then there\u2019s Gavin & Stacey to discuss, too.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, a Gavin & Stacey special will be delightful news to fans of the comedy series, who have been left in limbo since rumours of a Christmas 2024 special were announced earlier this month.<\/p> As claimed by Deadline<\/a>, the show was supposedly set to return, with filming reportedly commencing this summer and the episode expected to be released this Christmas.<\/p>\n But co-creator and Nessa star Ruth Jones quickly dispelled rumours soon after, telling RT\u00c9 Radio 1 host Oliver Callan: \u201cIf there was something to say, James [Corden] and I would happily announce it.\u201d<\/p>\n While a Gavin & Stacey Christmas 2024 special may be off the cards for now, we\u2019re sure we can anticipate plenty of stories about the beloved series, and some behind-the-scenes Eastenders knowledge, in the new BBC podcast.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n On the announcement of Off The Telly, Cassidy said: \u201cI\u2019m so excited for me and Jo to sit down each week and have a natter about all things telly!<\/p>\n \u201cFrom what we are watching to what you <\/i>are watching, and all our favourites from the past, this podcast will be the perfect place to find out what\u2019s on and bring back fond memories of telly.\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, Page said: \u201cIt is such a pleasure talking TV with Natalie, who is herself a TV legend!
