James Corden, the beloved host of The Late Late Show, has given us a glimpse into the highly-anticipated final episode of the hit BBC sitcom, Gavin and Stacey, set to air this Christmas. In an interview, James revealed that the finale will be an emotional rollercoaster for fans. We all know that it's going to be hard to say goodbye to the characters we've grown to love over the years.
As we eagerly wait for the reunion of the cast, including Joanna Page, Mathew Horne, Larry Lamb, Rob Brydon, and Alison Steadman, co-creators Ruth Jones and James Corden announced earlier this year that the show will be returning for a one-off Christmas special. While the stars have been spotted filming various scenes, the crew has been keeping the details under wraps, with strict instructions to keep their scripts hidden and on high alert for any leaks.
But James couldn't resist teasing us with a hint of what's to come, as he confirmed during an appearance at the Global Gala Gift that the final episode will be an emotional one. The talk show host even admitted that he had been editing the show on the same day and that the funeral scenes were particularly hard to watch. He also hinted at the possibility of a wedding, but we'll have to wait and see.
James previously shared his excitement about 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." Larry Lamb, who plays Mick in the show, also echoed James' sentiments, saying that filming the final episode was "so emotional." His on-screen wife, Alison Steadman, added that they were all dreading the final scene, with 90% of the cast and crew in tears during filming.
Gavin and Stacey first aired in 2007 and became an instant hit, running for three series until 2010. It made a comeback in 2019 for a one-off festive episode that ended on a cliffhanger when Nessa, played by Ruth Jones, proposed to Smithy, played by James Corden. The episode received the highest overnight Christmas ratings in 12 years, with an audience of 11.6 million viewers, making it the biggest festive special since 2008.
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 can tune in to BBC One and iPlayer on Christmas Day to see how the beloved show comes to an end. It's sure to be an emotional and unforgettable journey for all of us.
