The British Academy of Film and Television Arts announced Tuesday, April 24 the nominations for its 2012 television awards. British miniseries 'Appropriate Adult,' which chronicles the real-life serial killer Fred West, leads the way with four nominations.

According to Whatsonstage, BBC series Gavin & Stacey could be getting the West End treatment in the near future. Co-creator Ruth Jones told the Evening Standard: 'We'd love to do Gavin & Stacey: The Musical. I know it is something James wants to do too. I saw Billy Elliot on stage the other day and I thought it would be something good to do. It's something I would definitely be up for.'

Opening last night at the Adelphi Theatre was Nicholas Hytner's five star award-winning production of One Man, Two Guvnors. After a sell-out run at The National Theatre, subsequent UK tour and National Theatre Live cinema broadcast, One Man, Two Guvnors is currently booking until 25 February 2012.

With two BAFTAs, four British Comedy Awards, and a slew of rave reviews to its name, hit contemporary comedy Gavin & Stacey is back for more heartwarming and hilarious moments in the tangled lives of four young people and their friends and family. The Los Angeles Times said 'Gavin & Stacey is a gem of a show - funny, touching and welcome proof that the romantic comedy can and will survive irony, Botox, Judd Apatow and all the vagaries of the modern age' while The New York Times called it 'the most endearing comedy about love to come to television since the Manolos were packed up and put away.' Gavin & Stacey Season Three premieres Friday, May 14, 9:00p.m. ET/PT.
