Sir Paul McCartney's gift that made 'pivotal' Gavin & Stacey scene - BBC
It was a pivotal moment in the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special, but needed a frantic email to Sir Paul McCartney to make it happen.
Oscar Hartland, 16, who played Neil the Baby, left the cast "bawling their eyes out" as he performed Blackbird by The Beatles.
It took place during the wedding ceremony of his on-screen dad Smithy, played by James Corden, with Hartland admitting he practiced for hours for the "make or break" moment.
But it almost didn't happen, with Corden requesting permission from McCartney after realising the show's budget did not cover permission to use it.
