Ruth Jones with the BAFTA for Female Performance in a Comedy for Gavin & Stacey


What is it about Ruth Jones that has us all laughing, when really we're laughing at ourselves. The exaggerated Welsh accent, the names like 'Dave the coaches' have us holding our sides with laughter.
But this was like my youth, there was Dan the van man, he sold potatoes and I remember Annie with a tray of cockles on her head.. we always had some and I loved them. My grand mother used to fry them with white bread crumbs in butter, very nice but I preferred them as they were with lots of vinegar.
Ruth is from Porthcawl and met Rob Brydon in the Porthcawl Comp, and of course acted together in the school drama shows.
She has written several books, sort of  'chick lit' and I've tried to read some, they're not the sort of book I like, but they sell in their thousands!
But what ever, I just loved Gavin and Stacey.. and am looking forward to seeing  Ruth in some new dramas on TV.. It will be good I'm sure.

We once saw Rob Brydon at a motorway service station, I didn't speak to him as he was 'off duty' as it were, but he gave me a lovely smile. He was shorter than I imagined!

I must lead a sheltered life, I've never heard of her. :)

We just started watching Gavin and Stacy -- still on season one -- but it's so enjoyable. I love them all. She's really quite wonderful. (And on your other post -- David Attenborough -- sigh. I'm not sure I can imagine a world without David Attenborough in it. 99 years isn't enough. Thanks for stopping by Marmelade Gypsy, too. I'm behind in visiting!
