The highly anticipated return of Gavin and Stacey is finally here, as the BBC has released a first look at the upcoming finale. Fans of the beloved series have been waiting for this moment since the Christmas special in 2019, which left us on a major cliffhanger when Nessa proposed to Smithy.
After months of speculation, the co-creators of the show have revealed that the finale will take place five years after the previous episode. This news has caused much excitement among fans, who have been eager to see what has happened to their favorite characters.
The details of the special have been kept under wraps, but we do know that the story will revolve around Gavin and Stacey's marriage, with the couple looking for ways to spice things up after 17 years. Nessa will also be embarking on a new business venture, while Uncle Bryn and Jason's infamous fishing trip will finally be revealed.
To tease the return, the BBC released a promotional image featuring Mathew and Joanna as Gavin and Stacey, and James and Ruth as their characters standing next to a wall, reminiscent of the first season image. This has only added to the excitement and anticipation for the final episode.
The 90-minute special is written and executively produced by the show's co-creators, Ruth and James. The cast has been spotted filming in Wales, and the show's host, James, has teased that the finale will be "hard to watch," adding to the intrigue and mystery surrounding the episode.
The show's popularity was evident in the 2019 Christmas special, which scored the highest overnight Christmas ratings in 12 years and was viewed by a total of 17.1 million people by the new year. The return of Gavin and Stacey has been highly anticipated, and fans have been eagerly waiting for the finale to air on Christmas Day.
Filming for the special wrapped up in October, and the cast waved goodbye to fans as they finished filming on Trinity Street in Barry Island. In a video shared on social media, Ruth thanked the fans for their patience and promised that they won't be disappointed when the episode airs.
The 2019 special may have been the biggest scripted program of the decade at the time, but the finale is expected to surpass its success. With the full cast returning, including Pam and Mick who will be causing trouble in Essex, and the promise of finally getting answers to the fishing trip mystery, the finale is set to be a must-watch for fans.
The BBC has not revealed the exact timings for the finale, but it will be available to watch on BBC One and iPlayer. So, mark your calendars and get ready to join Gavin and Stacey on their journey to Barry and Billericay for one last time. Who knows, we may finally find out what exactly happened on that fishing trip.
