One of the stars of the beloved TV show Gavin and Stacey, Rob Brydon, recently shared his emotional reaction to reading the final script for the show's last ever episode. The BBC comedy, which first premiered in 2007, followed the charming love story between Gavin Shipman, played by Mathew Horne, and Stacey West, played by Joanna Page, as their families from Essex and Barry Island, respectively, got to know each other.
After the initial wrap-up in 2010, the show made a comeback in 2019 with a Christmas special. And earlier this year, it was announced that there would be one final Christmas special airing in December. While the details have been kept secret, Rob gave fans a glimpse of what they can expect. The 59-year-old plays Uncle Bryn, Stacey's protective, naïve, and eccentric uncle, and Gwen's brother-in-law on the series.
During an interview with Chris Evans on his Breakfast Show, Rob shared that he was incredibly moved by the script. He revealed that the cast only got to see it a couple of months before filming, and he himself read it while on holiday about a month ago. "Oh, it's so good," he gushed. "Do you know what? I was moved to tears, because it's emotional."
Before the official announcement, there were rumors swirling about the show's return, but many of the cast shut them down. Rob explained that they were all asked to keep the news a secret, which meant having to lie to people. "It's a horrible feeling, because you don't want to lie to somebody right in the face," he admitted.
But now that the news is out, Rob is excited to reunite with the cast and start filming in two weeks. "I really am, because I know this will be the last time we'll all be together," he said. "We all get on so well. And I think it has been 17 years since we started, which is crazy."
Back in February, Rob had done his best to avoid addressing the rumors of the show's return, but he couldn't escape the questions. "I get asked about this on every interview I ever do," he shared with the Today programme. While he had initially dismissed the rumors as just that, he did add that he would "love it if it were true."
