The Finale

I was hesitant about there being another last episode but wow. What a great ending and send off for a fantastic show.

Parts had me crying, parts had me laughing, parts had me shocked.

The last 15 minutes really were 10/10.

They wrapped up so many stories and endings for the characters and it was so lovely to watch.

There were amazing nods to other episodes and seasons and it was great to remember those amazing moments.

Having rewatched the whole show from start to finish to finish in preparation and now being able to watch this it was a real joy.

Credit to James Corden and Ruth Jones for such a fantastic show.

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.

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.

The edge has been lost off the comedy through the years, understandably with the risks of cancel culture, and it shows. However, this show was surely never supposed to be about pushing the comedy envelope. This was pure sentimentality for the huge Gavin and Stacy fan base and gave a perfect ending. Ruth Jones in particular stands head and shoulders above the norm as Nessa, and deserves 10 stars for her acting alone. To be able to make a caricature of a character so believable and make my heart break for her is quite a feat. The speech by Larry Lamb was also a great addition and, I won't lie to you, had me welling up in no time. Thank you to all the brilliant cast and crew for giving us the ending we all wanted.

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.
