Peta, the animal rights group, has made a request to the writers of the beloved sitcom Gavin & Stacey, James Corden and Ruth Jones, for a change to be made in the upcoming final episode. After months of speculation, it was officially announced that the show will be returning for a Christmas special later this year. The show, which first aired in 2007, followed the relationship of Gavin and Stacey, played by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page, as well as the dynamics between their families from Essex and Barry Island.
The last time we saw Gavin & Stacey was in 2019 for a one-off Christmas special, which ended on a dramatic cliffhanger when Nessa, played by Ruth Jones, proposed to Smithy, played by James Corden. While fans are eager to see how this storyline unfolds, Peta has also shared their hope for a specific change in the show's narrative.
In previous episodes, one of the characters, Pam Shipman, portrayed by Alison Steadman, pretended to be a vegetarian out of fear that Stacey's family might not eat meat. Peta has sent a letter to James and Ruth, urging them to take this storyline one step further and make Pam go vegan in the final episode.
The animal rights group believes that it is time for Pam to put a vegan turkey on the table instead of her usual meat-based dishes. In their open letter, PETA Vice President of Programs Elisa Allen wrote, "It's been four years since the last Christmas special aired, and in that time, we've learned more about how eating meat affects animals, the environment, and human health – so it's only right that Pam should put a vegan turkey on the table."
They also explain that raising and killing animals for food is cruel and that by making Pam go vegan, it would be a positive and inspiring end to the beloved series. Peta also highlights the shocking statistics of animals suffering on factory farms and the number of animals killed for food every year in the UK alone.
By embracing a vegan lifestyle, Peta believes that Pam can become a champion for animals and the planet. They also mention the health benefits of a vegan diet, such as decreased risk of stroke, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other ailments.
In previous episodes, we have seen Pam struggle with giving up meat completely, such as when she was caught eating ham by Stacey or when she had to eat a separate vegetarian dish while visiting Barry. These scenes highlight Pam's internal struggle and the lie she has been living, as she confesses to her friend Dawn that she is "in it up to [her] neck."
The Agency has contacted representatives for James Corden and Ruth Jones for comment on Peta's request. The final episode of Gavin & Stacey is set to air on Christmas Day on BBC One. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can contact the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing them, calling their phone number, or visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
