#GavinAndStacey behind-the-scenes details, which were revealed during a Q&A.

Sonia (Laura Aikman) stayed in different hotels than the crew to protect the plot.

She even didn't tell her parents she was in it, who are tuning in to the finale tonight alongside her.

Laura Aikman (who played Sonia) didn’t tell her family she was back in Gavin & Stacey until she popped up on the screen last night. #GavinAndStacey

Sex workers in Belgium will get maternity leave and pensions under a world-first law.

Should prostitution be treated like any other job? Or is this law normalising a profession that exploits women?

So I’ve never written a story about myself. But I broke the rule to show how, despite warm words about change, police still fail women reporting sexually motivated crimes. Here’s my story of the 2 yr battle to get my offender convicted. TLDR: Don’t give up https://t.co/2VPd8Trddx
