Ruth Jones at the BAFTA awards

Instead of watching these pathetic award shows, I expect Mojack26 makes herself an omelette. Or maybe orders a takeaway - chicken bhuna, lamb bhuna......

Gosh! She was in character for a minute’ and seeing she got the award for Ness, it was appropriate

Agree completely! I have just watched the clip and found it very moving……..what an absolutely lovely lady…….and a cracking actor!

I think so too.

It was very very appropriate. She is a brilliant actor and writer.

Loved it.

I don't watch these pathetic award shows sorry.

If you don’t watch them, how do you know they’re pathetic? It makes me so cross when people bother to point out that they don’t watch some thing but still think they are entitled to be rude about them.

It is neither 😂

I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult

You aren’t ordinary though galaxy, you are not as ordinary as ordinary people 😉

Yes I didn't use the word working class but that is what I meant! And no 'issues' that weren't natural to the characters, no preaching, it was just a joy.

Love Ruth Jones and Gavin and Stacey
I remember resting that Caroline Aherne took years to convince the BBC to put a working class family in a sitcom on TV

I have never watched strictly or the antiques roadshow if anyone us interested.
I love the character of Nessa, I think the show itself was such a breath of fresh air - portraying 'ordinary people' which doesn't happen much anymore.

I have never thought anyone would be interested if I didn’t watch a tv programme

No need to apologise or comment, just avoid the thread!

I don't watch these pathetic award shows sorry.

I’d watch just for Ruth Jo es and whatever she had to say. “Being Nessa” for a moment or two was entirely appropriate. 😊

Ruth Jones can do no wrong in my eyes. I love Gavin and Stacey but Stella is better.

I've only just watched Ruth's speech.

Cracking!!

I don't usually watch award ceremonies but I caught the bit with Ruth Jones. She is an excellent actress and deserves her success.

I only saw the end of the BAFTA’s , waiting for ‘This City Is Ours’ to begin.

I realise why I don’t watch awards ceremonies, when the girl who won best actress waffled on, thanking the world and his wife, shedding tears, and just talked a lot of nonsense. I hoped she didn’t make whole thing over run, which thankfully it didn’t.

She really didn't expect to win, though. I recently binge watched Industry even though it's not the sort of thing I usually watch and hers was the standout performance in the series.

Love RJ and her hilarious character. Nessa.

Her comment was funny and clever. Most of her speech wasn’t in character. So pleased she won the award.

Oh I thought it was a brilliant touch and very funny.

I agree, nanaK54, Ruth Jones made the audience laugh by behaving in an unexpected way. Likewise Jessica Gunning with with her initial "Hello cheeky chops" comment to the statuette.
