That's right. He's only gone and done a deep dive on some of the greatest TV characters of all time. And listen, he has done some job. Let's kick off with Gavin and Stacey, without whom none of this would be possible. As is tradition on the much-loved show, David made sure the episode opened with a phone call between the pair. Separated by the lockdown, Stacey is - unsurprisingly - struggling without Gav.From time to time I like to sit and think about how the characters in Gavin and Stacey would be handling the lockdown at the moment. What follows is my best prediction. If you've got any better ideas, please add to the thread! pic.twitter.com/FYETeXyMBx

And what about Pam? And the long-suffering Mick? How are they handling lockdown back in Billericay? Well, about as dramatically as can be expected, really. Upon realising his parents are no longer sharing a bedroom in the family home, Gavin is filled in on the finer details by his father.'It's just so strange down here without you. And the kids are bouncing off the walls. Truth be told, Gav, so am I!'
'Come on, babes. This will all blow over soon and we'll be able to go back to the way things were.' 'I hope so. Love you.' 'Love you.' Theme music plays... pic.twitter.com/IqYBA3VUbY — David McCormack (@davemccormack) March 29, 2020
While Pam worries herself into a near frenzy and contacts best friend Dawn for a shoulder to cry on, it turns out poor Dawn isn't doing much better. And yes, you guessed it, Pete's the reason for it.'It's your mum,' says Michael, rolling his eyes. 'She's convinced she's got the coronavirus.'
'Why?' 'I don't know, you try asking her!' pic.twitter.com/YTxdcE8Kyr — David McCormack (@davemccormack) March 29, 2020
But listen, far be it from us to ruin the ending. Get yourself straight onto David's near genius thread and catch up with everyone else in Barry and Billericay. Oh, and don't be surprised if you read every single exchange in the characters' accents. We know we did.'He only went out with the boys the week before they closed the pubs, didn't he? I ask you, Pam. What sort of selfish pig brings a deadly virus into his own home? Well, I've told him. As soon as this is all over he's out.'
