Stella - Ruth Jones
Did anyone watch Stella on Sky1 on Friday night? I thought it was really good. There's a touch of Gavin and Stacey about it which isn't surprising as Ruth co wrote G+S and has written Stella herself. There are 10 x 1 hour episodes. Episode 1 is on again on Sky2 at 10pm tonight and is also still on Sky Anytime.
It's about a single mother in her 40's and there's a touch of humour about it. I can see it being an award winner |

She's still not exactly thin in the programme though, not sure when it was recorded but she looks thinner here http://www.metro.co.uk/showbiz/88663...ff-slim-figure
I remember her having a tort that ended up at a recycling centre and they just managed save it before it got mangled or something like that |

Gavin & Stacey star's missing tortoise saved from crusher Comedy star Ruth Jones yesterday told of her joy after her beloved tortoise was saved from death in a glass crusher. A worker spotted 55-year-old Tom on the conveyer belt at a recycling centre. Ruth - Nessa in the BBC's Gavin & Stacey - had alerted the council when her pet vanished five weeks earlier. She hurried to the plant near her Cardiff home after getting a call. Relieved Ruth, 44, said: "I've had him since I was young so I knew him straight away. "He must have crawled into a recycling bag in our garden and then found himself in a refuse lorry. "We searched high and low for him and put up posters asking neighbours to keep a look out. "We're just relieved to have him back - especially as he would have been mincemeat." Ruth shot to stardom as Stacey's pal in the comedy based near the resort of Barry. Next month she is back on the BBC in classic Tess of the D'Urbervilles. |
