Maybe there's a reason for that??
What did people think? I thought it was ok, but relied on nostalgia too much for laughs.
Not a patch on the 2019 xmas special imo. |  | | |  |

I thought that it was just fine - stayed just clear of being self-indulgent and had a few laughs along the way.
I’m glad that it had a happy ending and that it’s ended. A satisfying end to a great series. |  | | |

I was a tad disappointed with that as well. Just seemed like everyone was just picking up their paycheque.
There were a couple good moments - when the dad lost it and threw out all of the Amazon boxes was funny. | | | |

Does he have to tip every time with a block booking? |  |

Corden in any form is highly avoidable as he has never been a likeable performer ! |  |

I thought it was really good, it is tough to end a long running and well loved show in a manner that doesn't cause lots of issues - plus especially a show like this, which is a massive hitter on terrestrial TV and watched by all ages etc.....including people that aren't really fussed by it.
But hit most of the right notes, tied things up nicely and didn't focus on new or unimportant storylines and was just a nice watch |  |

Unless I dreamed it I am sure that I read somewhere that someone in the cast confirmed Bryn was covered in soup, had to strip off and they huddled together for warmth.
Would make sense. Clearly not going to be anything weirder given they are related. | | | |

Really? Glad I didn't watch it now. Does that mean there still another Xmas special to come? | | | |

Same, though did watch last 5 minutes as other thing I’d been watching finished, and nothing better on elsewhere to switch to.
So no surprise I found it puzzling and had to search for why the central characters were called Ness and Smithy in a series called Gavin and Stacey  |  |

Was a perfectly fine way to close out the series, had to rely on a lot of historical laughs for that very reason. |  | | |

Wouldn’t say that it was utter tosh… think that honour goes to the Dr Who Xmas special. | | | |

Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Made me laugh out loud and cry too.
A fantastic twist early doors set up the episode.
The perfect ending and I'm glad they kept the fishing trip unrevealed.
Great little 10 second reference after the final credits of the making of docu too. Very clever. |  |

Lady F wanted to watch it so we did. Just lots of people shouting what i assume were in jokes to each other, so no idea what was going on and what was meant to be funny or not. I was half asleep tbf as well! |  | | |

I've never seen the original three series but at the behest of my wife and daughter watched the 2019 Xmas special and enjoyed it, as did my 92 year old mother.
I watched the finale too, and really enjoyed it with its nice mix of pathos and humour.
I may have missed some of the in-jokes but the characters are fairly easy to pick up.
It did strike me that without Nessa, it wouldn't have been the same. And it is clearly very British, so I am not sure how much success it had outside the UK (West Ham, Little Chef etc). [Post edited 2 Jan 14:36]

It was watchable if a little predictable. Found the actors struggled to sometimes get into character, for example the 'speech' by Smithy at the end to Nessa sounded too much like James Corden doing one of his monologues on the Late Show. | |

Don't remember anything outside of Gavin wanting cupboards and the end proposal, for the 2019 christmas special.
Thought this was really good, a really well done ending tbf. |  |
