There is no way Tom Davis can pretend he is not hungover. It is the day after England s win against Denmark in the Euros 2020 semi-final when we chat on Zoom, and the King Gary star is a huge football fan. I m feeling very happy, joyous, emotional - but very tender. I m 42 and I feel every year, quips the Sutton-born actor. I went to Wembley this morning because I had to do a show there [Mark Wright s Euro 2020 programme on Sky Sports]. I just stood there, and I was like, I want to cry. It s just amazing. There were people walking past Wembley at eight o clock singing Harry Maguire songs.

Well lush? Tom Davis as Gary

We’ve all had to adjust our expectations in 2020. So it is with the festive schedules. Last year, BBC One gave us the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special. This year we get the
King Gary Christmas Special (BBC One), which doesn’t garner quite the same levels of excitement.
That’s not to say King Gary lacks charm. Tom Davis is just loveable enough as Gary the builder, forever trying to impress his neighbours on Essex’s Butterchurn Crescent. Those neighbours include the weary Stuart (Romesh Ranganathan), who in this episode had no desire to get involved in Gary’s plans for a lavish Christmas lights display. Meanwhile, Gary was trying to please his dad, Big Gary (The Fast Show’s Simon Day), by nailing a big deal for the family firm.
