The moment Gavin and Stacey fans have been waiting for is almost finally here, with the highly anticipated Christmas Special set to air on Christmas Day.

Although it’s not exactly the most unpleasant programme, it seems that watching the sitcom has left some British couples feeling agitated.

A new poll has revealed the films and TV shows Brits most want to star in – including Gavin and Stacey.

Experts at LELO polled 2,000 Brits about their sex lives and found that the majority (65 per cent) said they wanted to try role-playing in the bedroom.

While several respondents said they would love to star in reality shows like Love Island and The Traitors, psychotherapist Kate Moyle advises against the genre.

“It’s best to stick to fictional characters,” she said.

“Blurring the lines between IRL and role-playing relationships can get blurry and hard to tell if you’re meeting or spending time with the person you’re playing in real life, and it can create anxieties or worries when there shouldn’t be any.

For the survey, LELO asked respondents if they would like to use role-playing games in the bedroom and about their top fantasy scenarios.

The results showed that relationship dramas are the top inspiration genre, followed by Action-Adventure-Fantasy, Historical and Superheroes.

Reality TV came in fifth, followed by Sci-Fi and Workplace Dramas.

When it comes to individual TV shows and movies serving as inspiration for RPGs, Fifty Shades of Gray topped the list.

However, other, more unusual options have proven popular.

Several respondents said they would love to role-play Love Island, while music fans claimed Wicked served as inspiration in the bedroom.

Bizarrely, pro football was the sixth most popular TV show or movie on the list!

“Inspiration can come from anywhere, with many respondents preferring to take on characters from shows such as James Bond, EastEnders, Last of the Summer Wine and Gavin and Stacey,” said LELO.

“While others use their own imaginations and most commonly refer to emergency services (nurses and firefighters) or workplace scenarios, including office colleagues.”

Unsurprisingly, the results revealed a difference between the sexes.

When it came to historical inspiration, women said they were more inspired by Bridgerton, while men chose Gladiator.

Meanwhile, men were four times more likely to want to play Doctor Who and Spider-Man, while women were twice as likely to choose Star Wars and Wicked.

If you’re thinking about trying a role-playing game inspired by TV or film, Ms Moyle advises being clear with your partner about your preferences.

“Talk about any yes and no firmly in advance,” she said.

“While the idea of ​​talking about it beforehand might make it feel less spontaneous, a little planning will go a long way.

“You might really like the idea of ​​a certain character or scene, but it’s helpful to identify to your partner the specific parts of it that you find most erotic or interesting, so that they can really go with it. “
