Ruth
BBC Wales and BBC Comedy have commissioned a new comedy co-starring and co-written by Ruth Jones and Steve Speirs, that looks at the challenges and rewards of relationships in middle age.
This as yet untitled project is a tender comedy centred on the unlikely friendship between two people who meet at a knee trauma clinic; retired teacher Clive is 60 and widowed, and environmental officer Shelley-Ann is 55 and going through a bitter divorce.
BBC Cymru Wales has commissioned a second instalment with Ruth and Steve, who will be heading to the Welsh seaside for another weekend of nostalgia, laughter and shared memories in Ruth and Steve: From Porthcawl with Love.
The programme will follow on from Ruth and Steve: From Merthyr with Love, which broadcast earlier this year as part of a collection of programmes celebrating Merthyr Tydfil.
Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I, Can You Ever Forgive Me?) and Ruth Jones (Gavin & Stacey, Stella) will co-star as Mr and Mrs Bennet in The Other Bennet Sister. Produced by Bad Wolf (His Dark Materials, Industry), the series is an adaptation of Janice Hadlow’s novel for BBC iPlayer and BBC One, in a co-production with BritBox International.
National treasure and BAFTA winner Ruth Jones is hitting the road with her good friend, actor and comedian Steve Speirs for a nostalgic weekend in Steve’s hometown of Merthyr Tydfil.
Once the ‘iron capital of the world’, Merthyr boasts a rich history - from pioneering the world’s first steam railway, to being home to the famous Hoover factory that produced the short lived Sinclair C5.
To coincide with the bicentenary of Cyfarthfa Castle, BBC Cymru Wales has commissioned a collection of programmes and content celebrating the history, the culture, and the people of Merthyr.
Ruth Jones, Jon Pointing and Amy Gledhill have been cast in the next Harlan Coben thriller, to be made for Netflix.
Following the recent success of Fool Me Once and Missing You, casting has been revealed for Harlan Coben’s Run Away.
The drama also stars James Nesbitt, Minnie Driver and Alfred Enoch.
How did it feel to be back writing and filming for Gavin & Stacey for the very last time?
