Gavin and Stacey at centre of bidding war as Netflix tries to steal beloved sitcom from BBC in mega-money deal
GAVIN & Stacey fans were overjoyed last night at the prospect of the classic sitcom reoccurring — after the last episode left them with a cliffhanger.
“Obviously the show has a special history with the BBC, and this seems like its natural and obvious home. Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore has spoken to the pair and made it clear she wants the show to stay put, but Netflix have also made it very, very explicit that they want to air it.” “It would be a huge coup for Netflix to steal this flagship British comedy from the nose of the BBC and, indeed, there may be a world in which this happens.”One insider said last night: “After all, you can’t just have a show called ‘Stacey’.”After starting out as a niche BBC Three sitcom, its popularity grew via word of mouth and it shifted to BBC1, where it proved a massive success, landing a string of awards.
Ecstatic fans welcomed the news, with one, Clare Searles, writing on X/Twitter: OH MY CHRIST . . . It’s pancake day, and they’ve announced another Gavin & Stacey Christmas special. Oh what a time to be alive.”
