If you're British, the chances are that last Christmas you watched the Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special. And Gyles's guest this Boxing Day is one of its stars: Matthew Horne, also known as the kind-hearted, loyal everyman, Gavin. In this episode, Matthew tells Gyles about his country childhood, about his loving and hard-working parents and their devotion to caring for him and his older brother. He talks about his schooldays, and the intense relationship he had with his girlfriend there. He talks about getting into stand-up at Manchester University and the phenomenon of Gavin and Stacey. We wish all our Rosebud listeners a very merry Christmas! Enjoy this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
