Ruth Jones

Michael Sheen is to appear on a chat show hosted by Ruth Jones to be aired end of April on the BBC.

The welsh actress, famous for her role as Nessa in BBC’s Gavin and Stacey, is to do an Easter Treat which follows on from her successful Christmas Cracker show. The show was filmed tonight in Cardiff, and  her guests included comedians Dawn French and Tim Minchin, as well as Michael Sheen.

The programme will then be broadcast on BBC2 & BBC HD on April 23 at 9pm, and will be repeated on BBC1 Wales.

Ruth Jones, from BBC1′s Gavid & Stacey appears in this charming comedy about a child’s Christmases during the 1980′s.

She plays a mum so house proud she stacks her towels in order, measures sliced carrots and washes the soap. Back then her OCD was better known as housekeeping.

Michael Sheen narrates as her now grown-up son, Owen. He looks back at three Christmases, when his mum fussed, his dad vegged out on the sofa, his competitive uncle Huw bragged about his latest success, and his other uncle, Gorwel, lived up to a waste-of-space reputation.

For anyone who grew up in the 80s, it’s a nostalgic reminder, especially when Huw gives Maurice a state-of-the-art Sinclair ZX Spectrum then spends the day trying to load a game from temperamental and nerve-shredding shrieking tapes.

You can catch this on BBC4 tonight at 10pm.
