Oh! What's occurrin'? Good question…This week's Profile, with Stephen Smith, is focusing in on a woman born in Bridgend in south Wales, who loved to participate in musical theatre as a child – and went on to create one of Britain's best-loved sitcoms.With a degree in drama under her belt from the University of Warwick, Ruth Jones initially found work at BBC Wales in both TV and radio comedy. She soon branched out into theatre, before gaining a role in the popular ITV series Fat Friends.It was there that she would work with James Corden for the first time. But not the last. The pair went onto create BBC Three hit, Gavin & Stacey in 2007. Seventeen years on, the sitcom has just provided us with one last trip to Barry Island and Billericay.So grab a chicken bhuna, lamb bhuna, prawn bhuna, mushroom rice, bag of chips, keema naan, nine poppadoms and listen to this episode of Profile on the woman known for her iconic role as Nessa.Production TeamProducers: Ben Cooper and Diane Richardson Editors: Ben Mundy and Sarah Wadeson Sound: John Scott Production Co-ordinator: Maria OgundeleCreditsGavin & Stacey 2008 Christmas Special: BBC / Baby Cow Productions Little Britain: BBC Barry Islands In The Stream: BBC / Comic Relief / Mercury Records

Ruth Jones and James Corden are here to chat about the TV event of the year – The return of Gavin and Stacey. Also, Stormzy's festive poem and a chaotic Yesterday's Quiz see out the last podcast of the year.

The overwhelming success of Gavin and Stacey is proof that the BBC no longer needs the outdated and unfair licence fee. I discuss why the revival of this James Corden and Ruth Jones comedy highlights the BBC's ability to attract commercial sponsors and generate revenue without forcing UK households to pay a compulsory poll tax. If shows like Coronation Street can thrive on ITV with sponsorship, why can't the BBC adapt? The licence fee is an archaic system introduced in a pre-digital age. With the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube, it's time to rethink compulsory funding for public broadcasting. Sports coverage, popular dramas, and even BBC radio could survive—and thrive—in a competitive, commercial market. Selling off BBC radio would level the playing field for commercial stations, ensuring fair competition and media diversity. Join the debate as I examine the future of British broadcasting, the fairness of the licence fee, and the pressing need for reform.

Oh, what's occurring? We've only got Ruth Jones & James Corden - aka Smithy & Nessa - joining us for dinner! The creators and stars of hit and beloved comedy, Gavin & Stacey popped round to tell us all the exclusives about the upcoming Christmas special and final ever episode. After binging the entire 3 series in a week, I have a lot of questions. We found out that James & Ruth secretly started writing the episode years ago, Ruth loves going on a literary cruise, how they boiled eggs in kettles when travelling, that Ruth surprised James at his 40th birthday in Mexico, how Ruth was hypnotised to hate chocolate, that James is loving living back in London, and you really, really don't want to miss Nessa & Smithy giving us their ‘last supper'! We are so excited to see what our favourite residents of Barry Island and Billericay have been up to for the last 5 years. The Gavin & Stacey finale will be on BBC1 at 9pm on Christmas Day - oh, don't miss it! X Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The UK is one of the biggest plastic polluters in the world. According to Greenpeace we produce more plastic waste per person than almost any other country, with our supermarkets creating roughly 800,000 tonnes every year.We need to find ways to minimise waste through keeping products and packaging in circulation for as long as possible. This is where the circular economy comes in - a more sustainable model of production that reduces, reuses, repairs and recycles. With a general election coming up, creating a circular economy will be a crucial component of the next government's net zero agenda, and businesses will need to play their part.In this sponsored podcast, host and freelance journalist Emma Haslett is joined by Julian Hunt, vice president of public affairs, communication and sustainability of GB and Northern Europe at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners; Ruth Jones, Labour MP for Newport West and shadow minister for environmental protection and animal welfare; and Dr Costas Velis, a lecturer in resource efficiency systems in the School of Civil Engineering (SoCE), at the University of Leeds.

My review of Ruth Jones's, "Love Untold".Music © by Capazunda.Instagram: @brutallyhonestbooksTikTok: @brutallyhonestbooks

In the run up to Christmas I'll be dropping two special live episodes recorded live at the Birmingham Literature Festival earlier this autumn. The second conversation is with one of the funniest, warmest women you're ever likely to encounter: Ruth Jones. TBH Ruth needs little introduction. The co-writer and star of Stella and the BAFTA award winning Gavin and Stacey, she is also the bestselling author of three Sunday Times bestsellers: Never Greener (which was also WHSmith Fiction book of the year), Us Three and now, Love Untold. Warm, open-hearted and generous, Love Untold sees Ruth turn her attention to motherhood and daughterhood as we meet four generations of the women of the Meredith family: Grace, Alys, Elin and Beca and encounter the minefield of complications that form the mother-daughter bond - love, hate and everything in between. You will laugh, you will cry, you will wince and above all you will recognise the feelings that Ruth evokes in the four women.Ruth joined me in front of a live audience at the Birmingham Rep to talk about the complex mother-daughter relationship, why so few people talk about daughterhood, the power and importance of cross-generational understanding and the impossibility of living up to a fantasy life. She also opened up about menopause, HRT, her irrational fear of turning 40 and her favourite new role.... that of Nanny Ruth!This episode includes an exclusive reading from Love Untold by Ruth. And Ruth's book recommendations for Christmas reading.* You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including Love Untold by Ruth Jones and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me.* And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including transcripts of the podcast, please consider joining The Shift community.

Love Untold, Ruth Jones  The funny, moving and uplifting new novel from Ruth Jones, co-creator of Gavin & Stacey and author of the Sunday Times bestsellers Never Greener and Us Three.  Four generations of one family. Four women: Grace, Alys, Elin and Beca.  Each of them has a secret. Each has been misunderstood. And each of them longs for just one thing... to feel loved.    When McKinsey Comes to Town, Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsyth  An explosive exposé of the world's most prestigious and successful management consultancy.  McKinsey earns billions advising almost every major corporation as well as countless governments, including Britain's, the USA's and China's. It boasts of its ability to maximise efficiency while making the world a better place. Its millionaire partners and network of alumni go on to top jobs in the world's most powerful organisations. And yet, shielded by non-disclosure agreements, its work remains largely secret - until now.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are some symptoms related to perimenopause that we just don't like to talk about.  Let's face it, it's personal and embarrassing. But maybe we should.  Maybe it's time to take any embarrassment and shame away from being a woman and acknowledge that our bodies don't always behave the way we want them to and it's not our fault! In my 4th MenoChat I'm talking to Ruth Jones, who candidly and without apology shares the impact of her symptoms.  She shares the story of having to tell her male supervisor she needed to go home to change because she'd flooded and how she felt forced to miss a weekend break with her husband because they couldn't risk being away from home when her periods were so heavy. Ruth also shares her frustration at not being able to find the words she wanted, her bouts of anger and snappiness with her family and her dilemma around whether to choose to have her insides burnt or a coil fitted to stem her excessive bleeding.  (between both of our menopausal brains we couldn't recall the word for cauterising the uterus – ablation). Ruth's story is raw and it's real and it's what we absolutely need to be sharing. We need to make it ok to talk about these symptoms so that we don't feel embarrassed or alone in dealing with them. Story sharing is an important part of how we can figure out what the right way forward is for us as we navigate menopause.  There's no one size fits all, and often hearing other people's experiences allows us the chance to take a different perspective.   So I'd love to invite all the women listening to come and join our amazing community in Your Best Midlife over on Facebook where you'll find over 1000 women sharing experiences, cheering each other on and building each other up so we can all thrive through midlife and beyond.

Author Ruth Jones on her novel, Love Untold, a story of four generations of women

Actor, writer and comedian James Corden reveals the most important people, events and cultural works that inspired his own creativity. He's now probably best known as an Emmy-winning television chat show host, although he recently announced that he would step down from The Late Late Show in 2023. James Corden is the co-creator of the much-loved BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey, for which he won a BAFTA. His stage work includes Alan Bennett's National Theatre play The History Boys, and the starring role in One Man Two Guvnors, which won him a Tony Award after it transferred to Broadway. His film roles include Oceans 8, Peter Rabbit, Into The Woods and The Prom. James Corden reveals how he wanted to entertain audiences from a very young age, and his theatrical ambitions were encouraged by his father who would take him to see musicals. He chooses the experience of seeing Gary Wilmot starring in the stage show Me and My Girl as one of his most important inspirations. He also reflects on the experience of working for writer-director Shane Meadows on the film 24/7, which starred Bob Hoskins, and the huge influence on his own work of filmmaker Mike Leigh. James also chooses the television comedy drama series The Royle Family as one of the inspirations for his series Gavin and Stacey, which he co-wrote with Ruth Jones. Reflecting on his recent decision to leave The Late Late Show, he reveals that he was persuaded to move on and pursue new creative challenges by a David Bowie quote. Producer: Edwina Pitman

In 1943, in all the tragedy, horror, and seemingly endless casualties, Ruth Caye Jones looked to the Word of God. As she did, words to a song came to her, and she started writing them down. A melody followed. That short, simple hymn went around the world and it still applies today: "In times like these, we need a Savior; In times like these, we need an Anchor." Join me to learn more about Ruth Jones and study the truths that still ring out for us today.https://thescottspot.wordpress.com/2016/09/05/in-times-like-these-written-in-1943/
