Gavin & Stacey finale isn’t set at Christmas – but James Corden drops timeline teaser

As a devoted fan of Gavin & Stacey who has eagerly awaited each episode since its initial run, I must say that the news about the Christmas special has left me both excited and intrigued. The revelation that it’s not set at Christmas might seem disappointing at first glance, but as a fellow who appreciates a good narrative twist, I’m all for it.

We’ve eagerly awaited this special Christmas episode of Gavin & Stacey, and though the details of its conclusion are still a secret, we now have some insight into when the story takes place.

From an exclusive backstage perspective, it’s been disclosed by co-creator and lead actor James Corden that the final episode takes place across a span of four entire days during Christmas time.

Additionally, Corden playfully hinted: “Let me assure you, it’s not scheduled for Christmas.” Therefore, contrary to high expectations, this upcoming holiday special will lack all the traditional trimmings such as holly, popcorn, and festive meals like roast turkey.

Corden added: “I can tell you it’s set after that moment. There’s no time jump, we’re not going back in time.”

During the BBC interview, both co-creator and lead actress Ruth Jones shared that the duration of the episode is approximately 90 minutes. Moreover, each character has a unique subplot within this timeframe, making it delightful for viewers who appreciate the entire cast, as they cherish all the characters in the show.

I had a soft spot for the Wombles as a child, and I’d be delighted by any tale featuring one of these charming characters.

After a gap of five years since its previous appearance, it’s clear that enthusiasts of Gavin & Stacey are eagerly anticipating the upcoming episode, which has been hinted as providing a “satisfying conclusion” to the BBC sitcom, as suggested by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page.

However, the final episode may not conform to what fans typically anticipate, as Jones has hinted in an interview with The Big Issue, stating, “I’ve been telling people that this finale might not be what you are expecting. I can assure you we will definitely not be returning.

“On Christmas Day, you’ll witness the climax of a 20-year romantic tale, one that demonstrates, if nothing more, that love can be intricate, chaotic, and universal.
