Gavin and Stacey<\/a> has lost out on an award to another comedy<\/a> show that Joanna Page<\/a> once blasted.<\/p>\n

Last year Joanna didn\u2019t hold back when discussing her dislike<\/a> of the BBC<\/a> sitcom Things You Should Have Done.<\/p>\n

Created by Lucia Keskin<\/a>, the series sees her star as Lucia \u2018Chi\u2019 Morelli, a ‘stay-at-home-daughter’ who is left to fend for herself after her parents unexpectedly die.<\/p>\n

The show, which has since been commissioned for a second season, received mixed reviews from critics.<\/p>\n

While the iNews said Keskin\u2019s performance was a \u2018deadpan masterpiece\u2019, the Guardian said it had \u2018plenty of unrealised potential\u2019.<\/p>\n

Then, during an episode of her podcast Off the Telly, hosted alongside Natalie Cassidy, Joanna branded the series \u2018boring\u2019 and that she \u2018shouldn\u2019t have bothered\u2019 watching it.<\/p>\n

At the time, Lucia, 24, hit back at Joanna\u2019s comments<\/a>, sharing on X that \u2018criticism is expected with everything it\u2019s a given\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018HOWEVER there is a way of doing so without making someone feel terrible about their work whilst being in the industry themselves. Dealing with critics is hard enough,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n

A year on, Lucia appears to have got the last laugh after her show took home a gong at the Royal Television Society awards last night.<\/p>\n

The series won the scripted comedy category, winning out against Gavin and Stacey: The Finale and We Are Lady Parts.<\/p>\n

Lucia, who uses the name Chi with a C on social media, grew a massive social media following before writing her series.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Metro last year, she explained she\u2019d been inspired to create something funny about grief after losing her grandad two years ago.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve always loved dark humour and making light of times that are just horrible. When you\u2019re struggling, it can give you relief,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the experience she said it was \u2018a bit ridiculous that I\u2019ve now got my own show\u2019. \u2018I don\u2019t know how it happened. A series two would be great, but if not, it was fun.\u2019<\/p>\n

In September last year it was revealed it had in fact been commissioned to return<\/a>, with Lucia joking she was \u2018gutted\u2019 to have to work again.<\/p>\n

In the second season, Chi will be forced to continue fending for herself and learn to juggle the demands of modern life whilst having to prepare for the arrival of her highly-strung Auntie Karen\u2019s (Selin Hizli) baby.<\/p>\n

Gavin and Stacey and Things You Should Have Done are streaming on BBC iPlayer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
