The infamous fishing trip on Gavin and Stacey has been a source of mystery and confusion for fans for years. Many have been left scratching their heads, wondering what could have possibly happened on that fateful trip.
It all started when James Corden and Ruth Jones, the brilliant minds behind the show, decided to end the last ever episode with a major Easter Egg. Fans were beside themselves, hailing the duo for their genius move in teasing the elusive fishing trip.
For those who may have been living under a rock, Uncle Bryn and his nephew Jason's relationship was greatly affected by something that happened on their nautical excursion, which has never been revealed. Viewers were hopeful that the Christmas Day episode would finally unveil the truth, but unfortunately, Dave Coaches came close to spilling the beans but ultimately left us all in the dark.
But then came New Year's Day, and fans were convinced that the mystery would finally be solved as the documentary, A Fond Farewell, ended with never-before-seen home footage of the fishing trip. However, in true Gavin and Stacey fashion, the video abruptly cut off before revealing anything juicy, leaving viewers in awe and describing it as "pure class."
As expected, fans took to social media to express their excitement and appreciation for the clever tease. One fan even revealed, "Ruth and James had the chance to do the funniest thing ever, and they did it with Gavin and Stacey." Another fan gushed, "Everything related to Gavin and Stacey is absolutely unreal. The documentary was fantastic, and that fishing trip home video snippet at the end was pure class."
The teasing of the fishing trip was hailed as a brilliant move, but Robert, one of the show's writers, previously explained why they had to keep it a mystery. At a screening attended by press, he stated, "I'd like to say now and forever, the joke has always been that you don't find out what happens. I'm sorry, everybody, but that has always been the joke, and it always will be because it's funny. It's funnier that way."
He continued, "And I was so pleased that we didn't reveal it because we will never know what it is." The documentary also showed behind-the-scenes footage of Ruth and James writing Gavin and Stacey, giving fans a glimpse into their creative process.
Despite the writer's intentions, fans have come up with their own theories about what could've happened on the fishing trip. Some believe that the soup mentioned in the episode was bubbling and that it was extremely cold, leading to a potential food poisoning incident. Others have a darker theory, suggesting that Uncle Bryn and Jason may have had some sexual contact to keep warm. However, this has been debunked due to the fact that it would be illegal since they are family.
Another theory involves an embarrassing incident with the soup, possibly involving vomiting. This is supported by a comment made by Dave, "With the soup? A man and his uncle...it's a physical impossibility. It defies gravity."
In a 2011 interview, Ruth admitted that they had considered demystifying the fishing trip in the last episode. She revealed, "We wrote into the script a flashback which explained what happened on the fishing trip, but it didn't make it into the final cut. It's still out there somewhere on some computer." However, she also added, "I'm a big fan of people using their imaginations."
