Speaking on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show<\/a>, Corden confirmed that they will begin shooting \u201caround September\/October time\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s going to be tight to get it in and delivered, but building that show, it\u2019s like building a Jenga puzzle,\u201d he explained. \u201cCast availability and things like that. I think it\u2019ll be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n Corden is currently starring in The Constituent<\/a> at The Old Vic this summer, ensuring there must be a quick turnaround to film and complete the episode.<\/p>\n The co-creator also revealed the cast are still yet to read the script, noting that he and Jones still need to clean it up before sharing it!<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cOnce I open the play in a couple of weeks, Ruth and I, we have to do one last pass and clean-up of it, really, because the cast are like, \u2018When can I read it?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t really want to give it to anybody unless we feel like it, so we have to make a few trims and little adjustments, but I\u2019m very excited to share it with people.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n The official confirmation of the Christmas episode came as a surprise to fans, with Jones previously denying a special was in the works after the very opposite was reported back in February.<\/p>\n Jones, who plays the iconic Nessa Jenkins, has since expressed her frustrations<\/a> of the special episode being leaked, because it placed her in a position of having to lies to fans and her friends and family.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was unfortunate because James and I wanted to give everybody a nice surprise, and I think it was really mean that they leaked it,\u201d she said on Radio 4.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cThey were all saying, \u2018Is it happening?\u2019 And the reality is that until you have your cast booked, budget worked out, all of those things, you cannot say categorically that it is going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While full details of the plot and cast are yet to be confirmed, it is assumed that majority of the main cast will be\u00a0headed back to Barry.<\/p>\n Alison Steadman, who plays Pamela Shipman, confirmed to The Sun<\/a> that she will return as the over-the-top matriarch that fans all know and love.<\/p>\n \u201cI know it\u2019s going to happen,\u201d she told the publication. \u201cI just haven\u2019t seen the script \u2013 none of us have seen the script.\u201d<\/p> <\/div>\n Gavin & Stacey is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. <\/strong><\/p>\n
