Gavin and Stacey character Nessa is one of a raft of famous voices who will recreate old versions of the Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4 to celebrate 100 years of the weather report. Barry Island’s finest will appear in the centenary celebrations on New Year’s Day, alongside the likes of Dame Ellen MacArthur and The Archers’ Eddie Grundy. Ruth Jones, who plays Stacey’s best mate on the show, said: “Nessa has got quite a colourful history and one of her jobs was on the high seas. The Shipping Forecast was always very important and useful to her.”
