Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman reunite to discuss their experiences on Gavin & Stacey and share personal stories over a meal.

Nineteen years after their hit series first aired, Matthew Horne and Joanna Page reunite with their Gavin and Stacey co-stars Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman for the Table for Four podcast. Over Spanish omelette, roast chicken and plenty of custard, Alison and Larry look back on nearly 20 years of Gavin & Stacey, sharing memories from their first auditions, cast dinners in Barry, and the chemistry that made Pam and Mick one of Britain's favourite TV couples.
