This Christmas for the last time ever, a new episode of the beloved Gavin and Stacey will be airing.

Titled, The Finale, the BBC show created by James Cordon and Ruth Jones will explore how sweethearts Gavin and Stacey Shipman have been getting on.

Plus, viewers will be able to find out what Nessa, Smithy, Bryn, Gwen, Mick, Pam and more of the characters have been up to since they were last seen in 2019.

Sharing what to expect from the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, the BBC said: "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 in those five years.

"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 practising 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."
