Transcript
00:00What's occurring? Gavin and Stacey will be back for its final ever episode on Christmas
00:07Day at least in the UK for UK audiences. It comes five years after the last Christmas
00:15special aired so that was in 2019 and if you don't remember because it's been five years
00:22it ended with Nessa getting down on one knee and proposing to Smithy. So yeah there's been
00:29a bit of a cliffhanger there for five years. We weren't sure if there was going to be new
00:33episodes but thankfully we're getting one last trip to Barry and Bill and Ricky. So
00:40what do we know so far about it? Well there's a bit of a twist that unlike the 2019 special
00:48the 2024 special is not actually set at Christmas so even though it's airing on Christmas Day
00:53and it's billed as a Christmas special it isn't set at Christmas. They filmed it earlier
00:58in the year in about May time I think if I remember correctly so it's set yeah at
01:04a different time of the year. They're not really giving much away. They have hinted
01:08that perhaps we may find out what happened on the fishing trip after all but yeah the
01:13synopsis they've released does not give away much at all really which unsurprisingly you
01:21would expect to be the case because it's very very highly anticipated and you don't want
01:27any of it ruined really. Filming for it was very secretive although there was crowds there
01:34watching you know watching them film but it is the final ever episode so it comes basically
01:43like 17 years after the first season premiered on BBC3 all those years ago which is kind
01:49of crazy really 17 years and it's five years after the previous Christmas special. It is
01:54the last episode. The cast have spoken about how they cried when they filmed you know the
02:00final scenes. Now that doesn't mean it's going to be a sad ending it might just be that they're
02:05sad that they're not filming any more episodes of it but yeah it'll be exciting to see how
02:10Gavin and Stacey does come to an end but currently we don't really know a lot but it's coming
02:16on Christmas Day at the time of year to be announced but it's coming on Christmas Day
02:21on BBC One and on BBC iPlayer and yeah it's the final episode so there's no
02:29they've come out and explicitly said this is the last episode so there's no you know hopefully
02:35it won't end on a cliffhanger. There won't be any sort of hope that it might come back in another
02:40five years. This is the end of Gavin and Stacey and I for one cannot wait.
