Stella – Season Two

 

Created by and starring Ruth Jones (Gavin & Stacey), Stella is a comedy series that ran from 2012 to 2017 and centred around the titular Stella Morris (Ruth Jones), a mother of three problematic children who gets by with the help of her eccentric friends. Among the colourful cast of characters in the Welsh town of Pontyberry is Stella’s alcoholic sister-in-law Paula (Elizabeth Berrington), lollipop man Alan (Steve Speirs) who has been hopelessly in love with Stella for nearly 30 years, her ex-husband Karl (Julian Lewis Jones) and his young new girlfriend Nadine (Karen Paullada), and her brother Dai (Owen Teale). Filled with heart and humour, Stella navigates the tricky avenues of parenthood, relationships and the hardships of life across five years worth of relatable and consistently hilarious seasons. John Richards worked as editor on four episodes of the show’s second series, making his mark on one of Britain’s most heart-warming comedies.
