The cast of Gavin And Stacey have finished their last ever day of filming in the Welsh town of Barry for the show’s Christmas special.
Fans could be seen lining the road in the home street of Joanna Page’s character Stacey Shipman to catch a glimpse of the stars at work in the Vale of Glamorgan town.
Page and co-star Ruth Jones, who plays Vanessa “Nessa” Jenkins, could be seen arm in arm waving to onlookers in Trinity Street, with Jones wearing a black outfit, while Page donned a blue denim jacket, blue jeans and a red and white top.
It comes after James Corden, Page and Jones had been spotted chatting to locals in other locations in the town earlier this month.
It is thought the cast will now move on to other locations to complete the episode.
The hit TV series aired for three series between 2007 and 2010 and made a comeback in 2019 for a one-off festive episode which ended on a cliff-hanger when Jones’s character Nessa proposed to Neil “Smithy” Smith, played by Corden.
But former chat show host Corden, 46, announced the show’s 2024 return in an Instagram post on May 3 by sharing an image of him and Jones with a script titled Gavin And Stacey: The Finale.
In the sitcom, Mathew Horne and Page play lovers Gavin and Stacey, Larry Lamb is Gavin’s father Mick, Melanie Walters portrays Stacey’s widowed mother Gwen, and Rob Brydon plays her Uncle Bryn.
The 2019 Christmas episode scored the highest overnight Christmas ratings in 12 years, attracting an average audience of 11.6 million viewers, making it the biggest festive special since Christmas Day 2008.
By the new year, it had been viewed by 17.1 million people, making it the biggest scripted programme of the decade at the time.
It went on to win the impact award at the National Television Awards in 2020.
The festive final episode of Gavin And Stacey will air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on December 25.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
