New Gavin and Stacey photos released ahead of Christmas special tophyper

Several new photos from Gavin and Stacey have been released ahead of the sitcom’s upcoming final episode.

A new promo image features James Corden as Smithy, alongside Ruth Jones as Nessa, Mathew Horne as Gavin, and Joanna Page as Stacey on Trinity Street in Barry.

And there are also dozens of photos from the episode itself.

The final episode, which will air on BBC One on Christmas Day, was announced earlier this year.

Gwen, played by Melanie Walters, and Uncle Bryn, played by Rob Brydon, are seen clambering into Bryn’s car alongside Gavin, Stacey, and Nessa.

No prizes for guessing where they are heading.

“In Barry, Bryn’s packing the Picasso in readiness for a trip to Essex,” reads the official synopsis.

Soon enough, Gavin, Stacey, and the rest of their family and friends are seen in high spirits with another get together at Pam and Mick’s house.

This time it looks like Bryn will be giving limbo a go.

Clearly, Pam and Mick are playing host this time around, but why are they partying?

“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.”

Before the final episode, the last we saw of Nessa and Smithy was in the 2019 Christmas special, where Nessa went down on one knee, asking Smithy to marry her.

Clearly, things have moved on since then, with the finale picking up five years later.

Along with these first-look images, fans can also get a glimpse behind the scenes.

New photos taken during filming show some of our favourite Gavin & Stacey stars on set, with Ruth Jones, as Nessa, getting a quick touch up to her make-up while filming on Trinity Street.

Whether or not she said ‘yes’ remains to be seen.
