"Gavin &amp;amp; Stacey star Joanna Page has said that she is pleased the show gave Wales a moment to shine.  The actress expressed gratitude for the BBC sitcom&amp;#039;s popularity, as she now feels free to exhibit her accent unlike when she was at drama school. &amp;quot;I love it that the Welsh moment was with Gavin &amp;amp; Stacey,&amp;quot; she told The Guardian. &amp;quot;Now when I go up for jobs, they want me to be Welsh. It&amp;#039;s really nice.  &amp;quot;[Drama school] was really hard. I had just turned 18 and I was desperately homesick. The teachers wanted to strip me of everything that was Welsh and sweet. I felt a bit battered.&amp;quot; Page is set to return to TV screens this week in The Syndicate, a five-part BBC drama from Kay Mellor focusing on a group of supermarket workers who win the lottery.  &amp;quot;This time my part isn&amp;#039;t sweet at all,&amp;quot; she revealed. &amp;quot;She is really mysterious and she has left a secret behind her in Wales. She does not want to be found.&amp;quot; Page said last year that she would happily star in a Gavin &amp;amp; Stacey special.  &amp;gt; David Cameron meets Joanna Page: &amp;#039;We need more Gavin &amp;amp; Stacey&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
