Many shows decide to air Christmas specials, which are not only longer than ordinary episodes, but are also a pleasant “welcome back” to some that finished their seasons much earlier in the year. 

And sometimes, they even include a revisit to shows not seen in almost a decade!

This year, that honor went to Gavin & Stacey. 

The comedy originally ran between 2007 and 2010 and featured Mathew Horne and Joanna Page as the titular English-Welsh couple who fall in love and must learn to meld their families and different cultural backgrounds. Show writers James Corden and Ruth Jones also starred as the pair’s friends. 

Nine years after the final episode, Gavin, Stacey, Smithy, and Nessa returned to British screens on Christmas Day for a special that checks in on the characters nearly a decade later. 

A mammoth audience joined in, with 11.6 million viewers reportedly having tuned in to BBC One for the broadcast, according to official figures.

The numbers are the largest score for the BBC since 14.5 million watched the Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death Christmas special in 2008. In fact, Gavin & Stacey proved even more popular than the Queen, pulling in almost 4 million more views than her annual Christmas speech. 

Cheers to that!

In Wednesday’s night The Late Late Show segment of Carpool Karaoke an LAPD car flashed its lights to the car driven by Corden and special guest Adam Levine. 

Corden panicked as he thought he was getting pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy is a first, but it turns out that the police officer just wanted to invite the duo to a dun sing along!

“Oh, that’s the police,” Corden said. “Hang on. What do the police want?”

“I’m gonna pull you over so you can sing a song for me,” the sheriff’s deputy called out from the open window of his car.

“You want us to pull over so he can sing a song for you?” Corden responded, laughing in disbelief.

“Yes, because you’re causing a traffic hazard!” the sheriff’s deputy yelled back.

As the segment’s traditional format took a turn Levine pulled out the tried-and-true line most use when apologizing after getting pulled over and said, ”We’re sorry officer, it’ll never happen again.”

While Levine was cool about it, Corden was completely panicked.

“I don’t know what quite happened there,” he said turning to Levine asking, “How are you so chill? A Sheriff just pulled us over and you’re completely nonplussed by it.”

Luckily after the incident Corden and the Marron 5 singer continued to get into all the shenanigans including a hilarious round of trivia questions, the two ended up having a ball.
