Gavin and Stacey Finale

They faked the end location, was supposed to be SOuthampton but actually filmed in Newport! ?

That makes more sense now, no way there’s a direct bus from Barry to Southampton

Tidy

The Mrs and I have loosely done the GnS advent thing (watching an old episode a day up to the Xmas special) and have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Identify more these days with Pam and Mick in the old episodes … Oh my Christ !!! The wife recognised the “buffet flow” in this special but it was nice the get back to identify with GnS and SnN, especially their pride in Neil the baby.

Ruth Jones and James Cordon were on Classic FM on Christmas Eve picking their Christmas classical classics and talking about the show and the final episode.

There was obviously a whole lot of love and emotion in that show behind the scenes which made it so special, for fans of course.

(I realise I might have outed myself as a Classic FM listener, and a Gavin and Stacey fan.  But its Christmas innit.)

It’s OK, this is a safe space….

Thank you for this important information.

Well done you and thanks for taking the time to demonstrate how cool you are,

I shall keep the still of Bryn in his bike helmet to show my kids and grandkids “that’s why you have the straps done tight under your ears. Or you’ll look like a dork!”

It can now replace the similar image of Alun Armstrong in New Tricks.

Watched it because Mrs STR has recently got into it and wanted to watch this one.

What a load of shite

I thought it was quite lazy. Not bad, Just fine

I did genuinely quite like it when it was fresh but the last few specials etc have been grim watching. Just so many forced continued jokes, and predictable storylines.

A few good jokes. A few great nessa moments and I actually thought James Cordon was decent.

They should have left it complicated at the end of the series.

I enjoyed the program over the various series and think it has some great characters but this end episode was pretty disappointing in its predictability. It delivered the ending that fans wanted but I think that missed the opportunity to do something memorable. Certainly not going to be remembered like the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth.

The best bit was the Dave Coaches/Gwen arc.

Would definitely have been better if one if Nessa’s spurned celebrity lovers had blown them all up….

I nearly baled I did. Full Gareth.

Certainly good to see Julia Davis back on the TV.  A few lol monents for me, that’ll do. Baba ganoush is a private joke I particularly enjoyed.

Larry looked a bit unsteady at a few points, hadn’t realised he’d been ill. (Hes getting on a bit too)
