When is the Gavin & Stacey special out?

The Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special will be on BBC One on Christmas Day, time not yet confirmed.

Who will star in the Gavin & Stacey special?

While the cast of the special has not yet been confirmed, some stars of the show have confirmed or hinted at their involvement by retweeting James Corden’s message and sharing their own excitement.

Joanna Page, who plays Stacey, confirmed she’ll be retuning, commenting on her Twitter: “I’m so excited! It’s happening!! See you at Christmas!!!!! #gavinandstacey.”

Mathew Horne, Larry Lamb, Rob Brydon and Alison Steadman will also be returning to the series.

When did Gavin & Stacey end? What happened in the last episode of Gavin & Stacey?

The first episode of the comedy series aimed on 13 May 2007 and the last episode on the 1 January 2010.

In the finale of the three series of Gavin and Stacey, there were a few things left on a cliffhanger.

In the episode, Smithy stopped Nessa – the mother of baby Neil – from marrying Dave Coaches at the last minute.

Gavin and Stacey also found out they were expecting their first baby prior to the wedding scenes.

In the final scene of the show, Stacey can be seen heavily pregnant, sitting in the sun with Nessa and Gavin in Barry before Smithy joins them.

At this point it’s not exactly clear whether Smithy and Nessa are romantically together, and we still never found of what happened between Bryn and Jason on the fishing trip.

Let’s hope this is all covered in the special!
