The British sitcom Gavin & Stacey is returning for a final farewell, with filming underway in Wales for a one-off special set to air on Christmas Day. This episode marks the end of a five-year hiatus, following the 2019 special that broke records as the most-watched comedy episode in the UK since records began, attracting over 18 million audiences.
The special will see the original cast reunite, including Matthew Horne (Gavin), Joanna Page (Stacey), Ruth Jones (Nessa), James Corden (Smithy), Melanie Walter (Gwen), Larry Lamb (Mick), Alison Steadman (Pam), and Rob Brydon (Bryn). The reunion will be a nostalgic experience for fans, as the cast reflects on their time together and bids farewell to the characters.
The BBC has also commissioned a documentary, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the final episode. The documentary will be produced by Fulwell 73, a company co-owned by James Corden.
The show is produced by Baby Cow Productions and Fulwell 73 for BBC One. Executive producers include James Corden, Ruth Jones, and Henry Normal.
