The highly anticipated final episode of Gavin and Stacey is set to air this Christmas, and fans are already gearing up for an emotional rollercoaster. Creator and star James Corden recently shared that the episode will be "hard to watch," adding to the anticipation and speculation surrounding the beloved sitcom's return.
The original cast, including Joanna Page and Mathew Horne, will be reuniting with James and co-creator Ruth Jones for one last time. The announcement of the Christmas special earlier this year sent fans into a frenzy, and the stars have been seen filming various scenes, but details have been kept under wraps. Reports have even claimed that the cast and crew have been instructed to keep their scripts hidden and remain on high alert for potential leaks.
But despite the secrecy, James has given a small glimpse into what fans can expect from the final episode. During a recent appearance at the Global Gala Gift, he confirmed that it will be an emotional one. The 46-year-old talk show host also hinted at a possible funeral in addition to the expected reunion and wedding.
While the final episode is still a mystery, James has revealed that he was editing it on the same day as the gala, and that the funeral scenes were particularly difficult to watch. But he also playfully teased, "But was there a funeral? Maybe yes. Maybe no!"
James has previously shared his excitement about filming the final episode, saying, "It's lovely, it's wonderful, all of it, it's all overwhelming, the fact it's probably the last time I'll probably ever be here. All of it, it's wonderful." His co-star Larry Lamb, who plays Mick, has also spoken about the emotional impact of the finale, while Alison Steadman, who plays Pam, added that filming the final scene was "dreaded" by the cast.
The show first aired in 2007 and ran for three series before ending in 2010. It made a comeback in 2019 for a one-off festive episode, which ended on a cliffhanger when Nessa proposed to Smithy. The episode was a huge success, with an average audience of 11.6 million viewers, making it the highest-rated Christmas special in 12 years.
In May, Ruth and James confirmed that the final episode was in the works, sharing a picture of the script titled "Gavin and Stacey: The finale." Fans have been eagerly awaiting its release, and it will finally air on Christmas Day on BBC One and iPlayer.
