The mystery of a joke made 15 years ago on Gavin and Stacey has finally been solved.

For the past 15 years, fans of the beloved sitcom Gavin and Stacey have been left scratching their heads over one particular joke. It has become a topic of discussion and debate, with no clear answer in sight. In case you haven't been keeping up, the show is returning for a final episode on Christmas Day, four years after its last festive special. The show first aired in 2007, following the love story of Stacey and Gavin as they navigate the challenges of a long-distance relationship.

Even after all these years, fans still can't stop quoting iconic one-liners from the show. And while some mysteries, like what really happened on that fishing trip, remain unsolved, thankfully we now have an answer to the Owain Hughes joke. Steve Meo's character, Owain, appeared in the first episode of the third series as Gavin's new Welsh colleague. His introduction, "Owain Hughes, and before you ask...No I don't!" left both Gavin and the audience baffled.

But finally, after decades of speculation, Steve has offered some insight into the joke. In a recent interview with the BBC, he revealed that it was intentionally meant to confuse and spark debate. Even the show's co-writer, Ruth Jones, couldn't resist teasing Steve about it when he auditioned for the role. And while some may not be satisfied with this explanation, it's safe to say that fans can finally put this mystery to rest.

But that's not the only mystery surrounding the show. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if any other unanswered questions will be resolved in the final episode. And even Steve's own mother has been bugging him for an answer. But he's contractually bound to keep the secret. In fact, even the cast members are in the dark about some aspects of the show. Steffan Rhodri, who plays coach driver Dave "Coaches" Gooch, recently gave a preview of the last scene of the show, which he describes as "touching" and "emotional."

As for the Christmas special, which airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, fans can expect to see all their favorite characters back together for one last time. It's been 17 years since Steffan last appeared on the show, and he admits that he enjoyed filming the special more than he thought he would. So mark your calendars for Christmas Day, as we finally get to see how the story of Gavin and Stacey comes to an end. And who knows, maybe a few more mysteries will be solved along the way.
