Ahead of the show’s final outing, the BBC have released story details for Gavin and Stacey: The Finale. 

The special, expected to be a highlight of the corporation’s festive line up, airs on Christmas Day.

The show’s last outing was a 2019 festive special, nine years on from the series proper. That culminated in a proposal cliff hanger…

Here’s the synopsis for Gavin and Stacey: The Finale

It’s five years since we left Nessa down on one knee declaring her love for Smithy and asking him to marry her. And a lot has happened since then.

In Barry, Bryn’s packing the Picasso in readiness for a trip to Essex; Stacey and Gavin are looking for new ways to spice up their seventeen year marriage and Gwen is behaving most strangely. Nessa’s started a new business venture and Neil the Baby’s about to begin an apprenticeship with his dad.

Over in Billericay Pam is stressing out at the prospect of playing hostess, not helped by a newly retired Mick practicing his golf swings in the living room and there have been more ups and downs in Pete and Dawn’s relationship. Join us on the journey to Barry and Billericay as we 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.

Gavin & Stacey: The Finale is a Tidy and Fulwell73 production for BBC iPlayer and BBC One. The show is created, written and executive produced by Ruth Jones and James Corden. The director is Christine Gernon and the producer is Sarah Fraser.
