Gavin and Stacey Stars Launch New Podcast!

Gavin and Stacey stars Joanna Page and Mathew Horne have reunited to front an 'intimate' new podcast. 

The duo, who starred as the titular roles in the hit TV series, have launched Table for Four, from Good Food, that will feature a host of well known guests. 

The eight-episode weekly series, the duo host intimate conversations with iconic celebrity pairs over a delicious three-course meal.

Throughout the series, Mathew and Joanna sit down with Radio 1 co-hosts Matt Edmondson and Mollie King, as well as close friends Gary Barlow and Olly Smith to discuss everything from their first meeting to their latest escapades. 

A celebration in collaboration and companionship, as well as hearing from guests, Joanna and Mathew treat listeners to behind-the-scenes anecdotes from their own careers.

Joanna said: 'Sitting around the dinner table with Mat and some of our favourite celebrities for a delicious meal and gorgeous conversation is an absolute dream.'

She added: 'We can’t wait for everyone to listen and join us around our Table for Four!' 

Mathew said: 'It is brilliant to be back working alongside Joanna as we get to chat with other iconic pairings about their shared adventures. 

'It turns out tucking into a three-course meal is the perfect way to get the best stories out of your guests - including us!' 

Fuelling the conversation, Good Food’s Senior Food Editor Samuel Goldsmith is on cooking duties, preparing delicious Good Food recipes each week that listeners can make themselves at home.

Over starters they discuss how their guests met and what their first impressions were, tucking into mains they chat through current projects and over dessert give a sneak peak of what’s coming up next.

Other guests include Russell Howard and Dan Atkinson, as well as Dame Arlene Phillips and Bradley Riches. 

Joanna and Mathew were last seen together on screen for Gavin and Stacey's final ever episode on Christmas Day in 2024. 

Gavin and Stacey originally ran from 2007 to 2010 and it later returned for two Christmas specials in 2019 and 2024.

The special was watched by 20 million people and James and Ruth originally considered making it into a film. 

However, they decided to keep it on the small screen, feeling the characters they created belonged in people's living rooms, rather than on in the cinema. 

In a special documentary following the emotional episode, James revealed why Gavin And Stacey could not continue.

He explained: 'Probably from the first Christmas special that we did, when Dave proposes and Smithy says, "Don't marry him", from that minute on it felt like they had to end together.'

'And that's what he says in this last scene, "I know it's messy and not perfect, but that's because we're messy and not perfect".'
