Gavin and Stacey star Ruth Jones has joked that most of the cast will be killed off in the highly-anticipated Christmas special as she confirmed the show will end after the finale
Ruth Jones has revealed that she and James Corden initiated writing the final episode of Gavin and Stacey in September of the previous year, devoting ample time to ensure its quality.
"So, when we felt it was in good enough shape, that's when we contacted the BBC. There was all this stuff about Netflix and a bidding war... absolute rubbish, you just go, where did this come from? And so, once we agreed with the BBC we were going to do it, and obviously they were very happy about it because it's finishing a story and this will be the finale.", reports the Mirror.
She explained: "James is rehearsing a play at the moment, The Constituent at the Old Vic, I was doing a show in the night, so the only time we had was a 20-minute crossover before I had to do my warmup and he finished his rehearsals. So, he came to my dressing room in the Dominion Theatre, we got the script with the title on the front, Gavin and Stacey and the finale, and we took a picture in my dressing room of us both holding the script.

But to a man, they'll say 'I'm the biggest Gavin and Stacey fan' or 'thank you so much for this Christmas special' or 'You must be so excited, I can't wait til Christmas'. A couple of people at the stage door, say 'What's going to happen, is Smithy going to say yes? '.
