Brilliantly-crafted finale. Predictable but also cleverly unpredictable. Laugh out loud moments and scope for every character to enjoy their moment in the spotlight. Bravo Ruth & James and all the cast & crew - you totally nailed it!!
The way Alison steadman goes from being herself a quite posh classy lady to Pam the loud over the top Essex lady is just amazing acting and she made the character phenomenal over the years
I know pwople have differing opinions about James Corden, but he's undeniably talented and should be celebrated. The finale was perfect. The cast amazing and the writing impeccable. I hope they write together again.
People are very unfair towards James Corden, I love him and have met him twice, he’s always been lovely. He’s human, he makes mistakes but he’s a great writer, actor, host, and person. But Gavin and Stacey is 100% my favourite James Corden project!
Being Welsh Valleys myself, it's amazing watching this. Welsh laugh at themselves all the time. Max Boyce, Ruth Madoc (rip) .. I love being Welsh so much fun🤪🏴
Me & one of my son's absolutely love this. And yes, he's grown up with it like Matthew Horne said. My son's 26 now, we've been fans from the very first episode and this finale was just perfect! I'm so grateful to Ruth Jones & James Corden for loving the fans so much that they wanted us to see the end of every characters story. Especially loved all the call-backs to previous episodes, the beer chart, 'don't mind if I do' Dave Coaches, Rudy (and Brighton & Aldi 🤣) the sharing bucket with the infamous corn on the cob, the lads back together .... just so many to mention. It was tidy. Genuine. ❤❤
This show is my entire life. Haha. No but yes, I mean it. Never has a show brought me so much joy. The finale was fantastic. It couldn’t have been any better than it was. I will watch it 1000 times. And Ruth and James absolutely need to get together and create again.
Always heard good things about this series with hype about the finale and finally having a platform to watch it, have binged the last two weeks!!! amazing
I can honestly say I watched this having binged the show for the past month and oh my word - I'm an emotional wreck. If there is a way to see a masterclass in finishing a series then this is how to do it. Bravo to everyone including James Corden and Ruth Jones for their brilliant writing.
Great big thanks to this brilliant bunch of talented people for bringing back these fab., unique characters. Very best thing on TV at Christmas 2024. But a few tears that we'll never see them all together again... 😢
This was the highlight of my families Christmas. We even foned other family member's 2 make sure they watched or recorded. Not a Corden fan but even he couldn't put me off. 🏴 👌
They could not have ended this any better - I thought the final photo of all the cast was just genius! I do believe there were real emotions shown there too - not just acting!
Went to see James in the USA when he did the Late Late show, he totally ignored the audience and sat looking at his phone? We left thinking what an ignorant git! Saying that, he’s brilliant at playing Smithie and we loved this special 😊
Brilliant, it was! Not sure why Bryn, a soft, gentle, optimistic man usually, has morphed into an angry, petulant, clock-watching pillar of fury? Not sure if that will ever be explained. Thought he might explode at a couple of points!
Why were the so adamant that the storyline meant it could NEVER come back? I’m accepting of this as the finale but they made it sound like the entire cast got killed off 😂
Absolutely loved it and honoured to provide the background music for Smithy’s stag do scene in the pub 😊 ua-cam.com/video/8yAR_F-lN_0/v-deo.htmlsi=Ooswp9lCHyUXWazl
Why did I always think Smithy is an… Australian 🇦🇺?!?!?! …all my life?! ☝️🤣🤟 💖 P.s…my siblings and I grew up in a very happy home 🏡 due to The Two Ronnies and Benny Hill…!!! 🫣 This is why we’re all having trouble assimilating with ‘Political Correctness’!! 🤣 I’m-sorry but ‘Dad Jokes’ are also becoming EXTINT!! 🫢
I must add Dave Allen in for my parent’s generation. We had to go to bed…but stayed up and watched out of the hallway corner, while our parents tried to muffle their giggles…SO AS NOT TO WAKE US KIDS!! 😝😝 🌟💥🌟💥🌟💥🌟 The closest thing to a… PERFECT Person, MAN, father, brother, husband, uncle, friend and son to your abusive mother. The EPITOME of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE 🌟💥🌟💥🌟💥🌟 Rip 🕊️ Dad 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
James Corden has sold his awful soul to the devil...why has he changed his accent? Transatlantic accent he has now. He didn't have to do that but he did and it doesn't sit well with so many fans. So glad all the other characters stayed true to themselves 😢
No idea what you've been listening to, but it obviously isn't this video 😂 ..because this is still his South of England accent, the exact same as mine, unchanged
How awful that someone tied you up, forced your eyes open and made you watch him not only on tv but on an extra video on UA-cam. Prayers with you at this hard time.
@gemlou763 didn't watch this video clip, just put a comment on it. Oh and you didn't have to read my comment or reply to it. Maybe you don't like people who have an opinion on him that doesn't argee with yours. Maybe grow up!
Why all this fuss, it's only a television program.Will Christmas be ruined if we haven't watched Gavin and Stacey.Er, no.I think we should all give it a miss, there's a lot more interesting things we can do.
It's a choice to watch it or not,so why are you even watching this then, not to mention taking the time to make a comment, thought you had better stuff to do
@elaine what a delightful fun sponge you are. It's good that you have the time to come to youtube, watch a program you are not interested in and then be so negative. Methinks you don't have more interesting things to do.
Brilliantly-crafted finale. Predictable but also cleverly unpredictable. Laugh out loud moments and scope for every character to enjoy their moment in the spotlight. Bravo Ruth & James and all the cast & crew - you totally nailed it!!
Yep, I’m happy for a sentimental Christmas show where everything wraps up nicely for everyone 🥰
The way Alison steadman goes from being herself a quite posh classy lady to Pam the loud over the top Essex lady is just amazing acting and she made the character phenomenal over the years
I have watched the finale 3 times and cried every time, they just hit it out the park with this one, a truly fitting ending.
Cried ....why ?????
@nickybudge3914 yeah I cried too but sad to think there won't be another one isn't it ?
Same
It’s shite ffs
So is your life
Big thank you to Ruth Jones and James Corden for everything, especially Gavin and Stacey! x
What a genuinely lovely bunch of people! Hard to believe it’s all over 🥺💔
I know I'm so sad
Oh, tidy, genuine
Amazing show

End of an incredible era. SO fond of this show. Very excited to hear Ruth and James might/will be writing something else though! Yay!
Me & one of my son's absolutely love this. And yes, he's grown up with it like Matthew Horne said. My son's 26 now, we've been fans from the very first episode and this finale was just perfect!

been watching gavin and stacey since i was little, it’s my comfort show, so happy they wrote an ending, a perfect ending!! ❤

God I missed Nessa so much!! For me, she and Bryn absolutely make the show. Such colorful and so resolutely themselves.
Always heard good things about this series with hype about the finale and finally having a platform to watch it, have binged the last two weeks!!! amazing
Amazing! Thanks for posting! 😊💜🏴
smashing performance, i cried at least 4 times! Big thanks to all the cast
Watched it,gave me a strong feeling of realising you are older than you feel.
Absolutely world class throughout
I can honestly say I watched this having binged the show for the past month and oh my word - I'm an emotional wreck.

greatest Christmas ever what an ending what a show truly a magical congrats to James and Ruth what a fitting finale.

Thank you for posting! Really appreciate it!
Absolutely amazing & cried happy 4 Nessa & smithy but sad cry 4 being the Finale 😢 so emotional ❤
Brilliantly written produced and acted. Timeless 😊
The Finale put tears in my eyes, such a great show.
Absolutely loved it and it was perfect..just wish it wasnt the endx
I love this it's amazing especially Nessa. ... Haven't watched the Christmas special yet but I'm going to love it🤪🏴
Mick standing up was definitely the highlight of the episode
BRILLIANT!!!
Lovely to see Sophie the 2nd AD. Worked with her 20-ish years ago and she hasn’t changed a bit.
Love Neil the baby singing.
That was so cute 🥰
Oh yes, fantastic
This was the highlight of my families Christmas. We even foned other family member's 2 make sure they watched or recorded. Not a Corden fan but even he couldn't put me off. 🏴 👌
Love this show
When smithy decided to chase down nessa to marry her my dad went “go on smithy “ The ending was so good!
The mick/smithy interactions made the finale
They could not have ended this any better - I thought the final photo of all the cast was just genius! I do believe there were real emotions shown there too - not just acting!
It was the photo that brought the most tears to my eyes
It was fantastic so sad it was the end all great actors and great script .x
Has to be said. They more than delivered.
Loved it just sad it’s the final one.
Pure joy throughout! Now we need another reunion in 5 years with Nessa and Smithy as grandparents....😂
Oh please don't Enough is enough
@@nickybudge3914 just kiddin! 🤣
Best characters ever.
Best show by the BBC for years! Hope they leave it as is and not ruin it by making too many
Thanks for posting
we love garvin & stacey dvd from Ben Taylor
Loved it!
That bar in the house is great
What a treat...Did anyone workout what truly happened on that fishing trip?
What's the song playing at around 18:50? I've heard it b4 but can't think of it now.
The Coral. Dreaming of you 👍
@SchwarzieJSY thanks for that. I never woulda remembered. Now I remember that I heard it on a scrubs episode after watching the video.
How do you get away with posting copyright content from iplayer?
I love you with all my heart
Such superb writing. Really missed Doris
Iconic!!!
I’m not a James Corden fan but have to say I loved this finale, best (only) decent programme on the TV this Christmas!
Went to see James in the USA when he did the Late Late show, he totally ignored the audience and sat looking at his phone? We left thinking what an ignorant git!
Saying that, he’s brilliant at playing Smithie and we loved this special 😊
bran was funny he played a dead person in the pub.
I was laughing 😆 🤣🤣🤣
Best show ever!❤❤❤
The resolution of the fishing trip is what I’m looking forward to
Oh it’s a really awesome conclusion to the fishing trip. All gets answered about the fishing trip don’t worry
Brilliant
The Dinys Powys house or Billericay house is lovely
Well Lush!! ❤
Perfect ending!
Piers was talking about Matthew Horner (gavin )
looking forward to those two writing something new! 😁
I do miss them all 😢
Brilliant, it was!
Not sure why Bryn, a soft, gentle, optimistic man usually, has morphed into an angry, petulant, clock-watching pillar of fury?
Not sure if that will ever be explained.
Thought he might explode at a couple of points!
I wondered that too...especially with Gwen.
Maybe because Nessa and Neil the baby leaving the area and Gwen’s new relationship alter the status quo and he is uncertain about the future
Lush! Just cowin' lush!
do matthew and james still not like each other or something? not one clip of them talking off set in this
How does bro have this video - I thought the behind the scenes was coming out on new years day?
That's a different show called the making of the show in general. This was just a bts of the special.
@ I see… cheers
It was on BBC I player before the episode started that day.
Why were the so adamant that the storyline meant it could NEVER come back? I’m accepting of this as the finale but they made it sound like the entire cast got killed off 😂
I don't know how to explain it but James Corden is more like Smithy than Smithy 😅❤ Same with Joanna Page and Stacey! Love them!
Strange mating ritual 😂 love ruth ❤
AH IM IN THIS FROM WHEN I MET THEM!!
I'm so sad it's the last one
They’re all so posh in real life it’s weird
I bliddy loved it absolutely fantastic
It was so predictable certainly not in the same league as O F & Horses, Vicar of Dibley and other TV greats. G and S have gone and forgotten
I got the perfect ending in my opinion!!
Liked the early ones but can't stand Corden since he's been outed as an absolute pos
Actors remember that's all they are,,,,, just like our Government
Absolutely loved it and honoured to provide the background music for Smithy’s stag do scene in the pub 😊

Oh my gosh
Matt Horne is proper posh!!!
Why did I always think Smithy is an…

…all my life?!

fair plays to james corden for being the most unfunniest “funny” man ever. huge accomplishment🎉.
Hippo man, he has big ego
GTF
Will you marry me
Notice how there was no interview with Mathew Horne?? Still bad blood between him and Corden
Gavin has aged so badly! It’s always the good looking ones that seem to age badly for some reason! Lol
Age isn't kind. I thought the same, and yet, he's still got those pretty eyes! 👀
Why has Corden developed a poncy accent...
No more James Corden thank god!
Haters not welcome
@Captainperfection free country.
How awful that someone tied you up, forced your eyes open and made you watch him not only on tv but on an extra video on UA-cam. Prayers with you at this hard time.
@@stone4173 no it isnt, thats America. Nobody wants you here
@gemlou763 didn't watch this video clip, just put a comment on it. Oh and you didn't have to read my comment or reply to it. Maybe you don't like people who have an opinion on him that doesn't argee with yours. Maybe grow up!
James is shameless what’s with the posh voice 🥹
Sorry but a very predictable ending after 17 years, nothing that special
Their next project should be weight watchers
what a creative and thoughtful comment no one asked for. have you considered doing stand-up?
Maybe your next project could be trying to be a kinder human?
Why all this fuss, it's only a television program.Will Christmas be ruined if we haven't watched Gavin and Stacey.Er, no.I think we should all give it a miss, there's a lot more interesting things we can do.
Not if you're around .
You sound fun….
It's a choice to watch it or not,so why are you even watching this then, not to mention taking the time to make a comment, thought you had better stuff to do
@elaine what a delightful fun sponge you are. It's good that you have the time to come to youtube, watch a program you are not interested in and then be so negative. Methinks you don't have more interesting things to do.
Thanks for posting. Those of us dedicated fans can't watch BBC iPlayer outside of the UK. 😁😁
Is this the show that's on on new years.day?
It was on Xmas day in the UK
Lol Christmas eve and it is 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ☺️ 😊 💕 🤗
😂😂 I meant Xmas day 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think the new years day show is a documentary about G&S in general, rather than just the last episode
James and Ruth are horrible people.
Loved it!
Why ....it wasn't funny
Piers was talking about Matthew Horner (gavin )
Horne.
