WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Gavin And Stacey.
Gavin and Stacey is coming to an end with the final ever episode on its way, so when does it air?
For 17 years, Essex-Welsh BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey has been leaving fans in hysterics with its three unforgettable seasons and two Christmas specials.
It’s now been five years since the loved-up married couple and their bizarre families have been on the small screen with the last festive episode ending on a major cliffhanger.
Following a Christmas Eve night out, Nessa Jenkins (played by Ruth Jones) unexpectedly got down on one knee and proposed to Smithy (James Corden).
But, before he could answer, the screen faded to black – so what did Smithy say and are the pair together now five years on?
Here’s everything there is to know to watch the Gavin And Stacey Christmas special 2024.
Gavin and Stacey start time
Gavin and Stacey: The Finale is going to air on Christmas Day, Wednesday, December 25, at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
The running time of the episode will be one hour and 30 minutes and has been described as “film-length”.
Gavin and Stacey cast
What makes Gavin and Stacey’s final episode even better is the fact that the entire main cast will be returning one last time.
Mathew Horne and Joanna Page will reprise their roles as the titular characters, while creators and co-stars Ruth Jones and James Corden make a comeback as Nessa and Smithy.
Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb are returning as Gavin’s parents Pam and Mick with Rob Brydon and Melanie Walters as Stacey’s Uncle Bryn and mum Gwen.
Of course, Gavin and Stacey wouldn’t be the same without the regular marital woes of Pete and Dawn, played by Adrian Scarborough and Julia Davis.
Sadly, Stacey’s daring neighbour Doris won’t be in the last episode as actress Margaret John passed away in 2011.
Gavin and Stacey trailer
An official trailer for The Finale has been released ahead of Christmas Day, teasing what’s to come for Gavin and Stacey and the rest of their friends and family.
Stacey says she’s “buzzing” for a weekend away with herself, Gavin, Nessa, Uncle Bryn and Gwen venturing off to Essex to visit Pam, Mick and Smithy with Pete and Dawn also expected to show up.
It isn’t clear from the trailer, however, if Smithy and Nessa are an item but during a party, they are seen dancing closely together which could indicate romance is in the air for them.
Gwen also brings up Uncle Bryn’s mysterious fishing trip but is he finally going to spill the beans on what happened?
Gavin And Stacey: The Finale airs on Christmas Day, Wednesday, December 25, at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
