James Cordon Reveals Major ‘Gavin & Stacey’ Finale Details

by

As a longtime fan of British sitcoms and someone who has eagerly awaited each new episode of Gavin and Stacey since its debut in 2007, I must say that the anticipation for this Christmas’ final ever episode is palpable. The show’s co-creators, James Corden and Ruth Jones, have teased that we can expect the unexpected, which has only added to my curiosity.

As a devoted cinephile, wrapping up a cherished sitcom feels like an almost insurmountable task. Iconic series such as “The Office,” “Parks and Recreation,” “M*A*S*H,” and “Friends” managed to bring their final seasons to a satisfying end without disappointing fans. However, the beloved “How I Met Your Mother” ended on a sour note. The acclaimed British sitcom, “Gavin and Stacey,” is about to air its last episode ever this Christmas. Yet, co-creators James Cordon and Ruth Jones have hinted that the finale won’t be what anyone anticipates.

In an interview with The Big Issue, Ruth Jones and James Corden shared some closing thoughts about the finale of Gavin & Stacey. Fans have many queries such as whether Nessa and Smithy will finally become a couple, how Gavin and Stacey will fare as parents, and what transpired during their fishing trip. However, Ruth Jones hinted that the ending might not be what fans anticipate. Furthermore, she confirmed that the upcoming Christmas special is indeed the final episode, with no future reboots, revivals, or spin-offs planned.

“And I guarantee we will definitely not be coming back.”

James Corden mentioned that the finale will maintain the pattern of previous seasons by portraying an authentic relationship, with all its flaws. Consequently, “be prepared for a ‘chaotic’ ending.”

On Christmas Day, one will witness the conclusion of a 20-year romantic tale – a depiction that, at the very least, underscores the fact that love can be confusing and untidy, applicable to all.

‘Gavin and Stacey’s Finale WIll Answer the Show’s Biggest Mystery

Debuting in 2007, the series titled “Gavin and Stacey” centered around the main characters Gavin and Stacey, portrayed by Matthew Horne and Joanna Page, as they traversed through the ups and downs of their romantic journey. This included deciding where to settle, managing family matters, and contemplating parenthood. The show came to an end in 2010 after completing three successful seasons, but resurfaced with a holiday special in 2020, shattering British viewership records.

Ever since that fateful fishing trip with Uncle Bryn and Jason (Robert Wilfort), Gavin & Stacey fans like me have been eagerly anticipating the resolution. The joke about their disastrous fishing excursion has kept us guessing for over a decade, tearing apart their friendship and leaving us all wondering what happened next. Recently, Robert Wilfort hinted to the BBC that we might finally find out in the final episode. Excitedly, he mentioned that some answers could be on the horizon!

As a movie aficionado, I find myself sworn to secrecy, asked not to disclose any plot points, so as to maintain the element of surprise when you witness this cinematic marvel unfold on Christmas Day. The intrigue surrounding its narrative has driven many into frenzied speculation, and it’s nothing short of thrilling to be a part of a production that has ignited such curiosity among viewers. I can only hope that one day my epitaph will read: “I survived the mystery on the fishing trip.

On Christmas Day, the last-ever episode of “Gavin and Stacey” will broadcast on BBC. In the United States, you can stream seasons 1-3 and previous Christmas specials on BritBox.
