The highly anticipated final episode of the beloved comedy series Gavin and Stacey has officially begun filming, and fans are buzzing with excitement. The BBC recently shared a sneak peek from the set, featuring a clapperboard from the first day of filming.
Co-creators Ruth Jones and James Corden announced earlier this year that the show would return for one last episode, set to air on Christmas Day. The series, which originally aired from 2007 to 2010, follows the quirky relationship between Gavin and Stacey as they navigate life in Essex and south Wales.
The 2019 Christmas special left viewers on the edge of their seats with a cliff-hanger proposal from Nessa to Smithy, played by Jones and Corden, respectively. The special drew in a whopping 11.6 million viewers, marking the highest overnight Christmas ratings in 12 years.
Filming for the final episode has kicked off in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, where many iconic scenes from the show were originally shot. Fans have been treated to behind-the-scenes glimpses, including a photo of Corden’s character Smithy’s van shared by the actor himself.
As the cast and crew come together to bring the series to a close, emotions are running high. Corden recently shared his sentimental feelings about wrapping up the show, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to end it on their own terms.
With the final episode in the works, fans can’t wait to see how the beloved characters’ stories will come to a close. Stay tuned for more updates as filming continues for the highly anticipated Gavin and Stacey finale.
