Writers "too busy" for 'Gavin & Stacey'

Ruth Jones has admitted that she and James Corden are "too busy" to write a third series of Gavin & Stacey.

The pair are currently working on separate projects and cannot fit the BAFTA-winning comedy into their schedule.

Jones, who is shooting a BBC adaptation of Dickens novel Little Dorrit, is quoted as saying: "We've no plans for another series at the moment as it's difficult for me and James to get together."

However, she insisted that another run is a possibility, saying: "We're not ruling it out but it would have to be a really good idea and a really good story."

A Christmas special of the BBC Three sitcom will be filmed next month.
