Gavin and Stacey fans have opened the door on their advent calendar to find a real pre-Christmas treat. The BBC has offered a proper look at the final ever episode of the beloved show.
Ruth Jones and James Cordon confirmed earlier this year that there would be one last trip to Barry and Billericay this festive season. It comes half a decade after the previous Christmas special - which ended with Nessa asking Smithy to marry her.
Announcing the special, the BBC invited fans to “catch up with the Shipmans and the Wests for the very last time and maybe find out what exactly did happen on that fishing trip”. The episode will air on Christmas Day 2024 - and the Beeb has confirmed the start time.
