The Finale

This was event TV and you just knew that millions of households around the UK would be settling down, just like we were, in anticipation of one last episode with this beautiful, sweet, funny lot! It did not disappoint!

The acting, as always, was brilliant and the casting is perfection. You can just tell and feel that the whole cast are like a real extended family. Thank you to the writers for delivering EXACTLY what we wanted. It was perfect and surprisingly moving at the end. My only regret is that my imagination will continue to run riot as to what really happened on that infamous fishing trip but some things are best left to the imagination I guess! 10/10 for a Christmas TV special that was just that. Special.

This could not have been better! I laughed and I cried. The whole thing was nostalgic but had also moved with the times. I've watched twice now and am going to watch again. The perfect ending. The same characters we love. Honestly, just amazing.

I'm not going to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't yet watched but be warned, you will need tissues! I can't quite believe it's all over, it's been an immense 17 years. The writing is exceptional as always and there are a few shocks in store in the finale. I feel sad it's all over but the ending was perfect. I'll definitely watch the entire series over and over again, it's my go to when I feel down.

There was a weight of expectation on this final ever episode of such a much-loved show and it truly did not disappoint. The previous special in 2019 was enjoyable but was perhaps more about nostalgia, to the point that people were prepared to forgive weaknesses because they were simply happy to see all their favourite characters back on the screen.

The Finale, however, lived up to all the hype, it was really was very enjoyable and was 100% worthy of its task of bringing the curtain down once and for all.

Every line was delivered superbly with lots of laughs and a great story, all leading up to an enjoyable and satisfying ending. Brilliant!

That was sensational, I can barely put it into words, what a way to end an era, I've laughed and I've cried, a rollercoaster I was thrilled to be on.

It was like settling down with family, it felt warm and familiar, and I couldn't have wished for anything more from a finale.

James & Ruth created something spectacular, it's rare that a comedy grips a whole nation, but I guarantee the UK were connected tonight to watch this finale, it's a beautiful thing they've created.

I was 12 when I watched the first episode of Gavin & Stacey, and now at 29 years old, I get a resolution that puts me in tears, this was everything I wanted and more.

Congratulations on something beautiful.

Just loved it from beginning to end. Wasn't sure whether revisiting the story one last time would be a mistake, but I'm so pleased that wasn't the case. Funny, sad, rollercoaster episode. A few surprises along the way. Brilliant writing. I didn't think the show needed an extra ending, but I've changed my mind. It does feel like we have an ending now and for it to have been done in such a good way is brilliant. Had a nostalgic feel to it, not just with the characters but with the situations as well. Well worth a watch, I'm sure lots of people will watched tonight. Hope it gets the praise it deserves, just brilliant.
