Fans of the beloved BBC sitcom 'Gavin and Stacey' were treated to a final Christmas Day special, providing closure to the characters' journeys after 14 years.
Gavin and Stacey enthusiasts were absolutely delighted as the cherished series came back for a final Christmas Day special. Yesterday evening, the audience got the ending they had been yearning for as they settled in to watch the much-loved BBC sitcom draw to a close - after an unforgettable 14 years packed with iconic scenes and side-splitting humour.

Even though it was a bittersweet plotline filled with tension and heartache, fans couldn't help but feel thrilled as it all worked out well for Nessa and Smithy when the 90-minute episode wrapped up. Show creators Ruth and James made efforts to have the whole beloved crew return for one last appearance, including Russell Tovey as Budgie and Sheridan Smith as Rudi. However, the character Dick Powell, who Gwynfor Roberts depicted in two episodes and who often cropped up in conversations throughout the BBC series, didn't appear in the closing chapter of the series. This was because scriptwriters Ruth and James found they couldn't fit him into the narrative. Although he appeared in their initial draft, unfortunately, he didn't remain in the final cut, reports the Mirror. Ruth admitted during an early preview of the festive episode: 'I think in the original script we had Dick Powell. There just wasn't room for him, God bless him.' Despite this omission, she expressed how 'lovely' it was to have the rest of the cast reunite. At a screening event with the cast and crew, Ruth shared her emotions: 'I'm feeling a bit drained. It was so lovely to watch it with an audience
