Gavin & Stacey: The Finale (2024) review

Did somebody order a Chinese??

Plot: It's 5 years since we left Nessa down on one knee declaring her love for Smithy and asking him to marry her. And a lot has happened in those 5 years. In Barry, Bryn's packing the Picasso in readiness for a trip to Essex; Stacey and Gavin are looking for new ways to spice up their seventeen-year marriage and Gwen is behaving most strangely. Nessa's started a new business venture and Neil the Baby's about to begin an apprenticeship with his dad. Over in Billericay Pam is stressing out at the prospect of playing hostess, not helped by a newly retired Mick practicing his golf swings in the living room and there have been more ups and downs in Pete and Dawn's relationship.

I have been brought into the Gavin & Stacey fandom fold only within the last 5 years, as my wife and her family have given me a deep dive education into the old British sitcom culture, with the likes of The Royle Family, Phoenix Nights, Car Share, The Fast Show (suits you, sir!) and many more. Yet the one I did truly connect with was Gavin & Stacey, as it successfully portrayed the typical British family values and habits. All the characters are lovely and sympathetic in their eccentric ways, and the conversations feel real, as if you’re having a regular chat and banter with your mates. Heck, dedicating an entire scene towards ordering a takeaway was important, cause yeah, it’s that deep! It’s a truly wonderful and wholesome show, so I was really grateful to the family of my misses for catching me up to speed with it in time for the 2019 Christmas special. And even the idea of a Christmas special is engraved in the British television history, as our greatest sitcoms tend to bow out at their peak, but the festive revival traditionally comes to the rescue, extending the lifespans of iconic shows and continuing stories of favourite characters. Then there were the comedy sketch shows like The Morecambe and Wise Show and The League of Gentlemen that thrived off the Christmas Day television viewership. Yet in recent years that old-school tradition has slowly been dying out (aside from Mrs Brown’s Boys but honestly who gives a crap about that) with only Gavin & Stacey and Doctor Who keeping up the trend.

Having said that, there was something slightly off about the 2019 Christmas special, which felt like a karaoke performance of the show’s greatest hits: the catchphrases, the house parties, the fishing trip, a niggle in Gavin and Stacey’s relationship, some actual karaoke and more unresolved will-they-won’t-they for our eponymous couple’s respective best friends: melodramatic loudmouth and builder Smithy and the mysteriously well-connected, gruffly swaggering and invariably leather-clad Nessa. But aside from its end cliffhanger, this special was largely disposable and forgettable. As for the new Finale special, not only is it superior to the last, it may be one of the finest ways to end a long-running television classic.

Overflowing with boozy camaraderie, passionate romance, and jaw-dropping twists, the finale served up a feast of pure Welsh perfection for its devoted fans. It may be a bit predictable, but sometimes that’s all you need from a finale - fan service. Many watched this show when it first started 17 years ago - they deserve to see their favourite characters end up where they do. Honestly though, this finale is a true letter to all that has occurred, with truly hilarious gags, and Richard Curtis-level of sentimental melodrama, and honestly this episode hits. It definitely is not as confident in its execution as previous episodes, as seasons before we’re once remorselessly uproarious and often close to the bone (many of the gags about weight, sex and race were, let’s just say, very of their time), now, with how comedy has become too risky in our modern day and age, this finale is clearly unwilling to risk offence – it is remarkable just how safe the humour has become. I get it, I appreciate that this wants to be a lovely Christmas cuddle, but Gavin & Stacey was known to draw the line and go beyond it at times, yet the most risqué sequence here is two characters walking into a room with another promiscuously frolicking, and that couple continuing to go at it and not stopping. Amusing, but in no way offensive.

Say what you will about James Corden, as already looking at my Letterboxd a lot of users are already complaining about this finale purely cause it was co-written and stars Corden, but he is honestly great as Smithy. I’m aware that in real life Corden is known to be a bit of a pig, but he has played this role for years and has not lost any charm in doing so. You can’t deny in the last few moments of this episode that Corden really does tug at the heart strings, with his and Ruth Jones’ character relationship being the main emotional core of this entire show. Corden is great, but so are the rest of the cast, with Rob Brydon, Julia Davis and Steffan Rhodri getting some of the best moments. Huge props also to Laura Aikman for sacrificing herself to be hated by the entire British public - respect. Oh, and Baby Neil is back too!!

Gavin & Stacey: The Finale is a Christmas miracle in that it ties a fitting bow onto an integral part of British cultural entertainment, and it is a rare case for a TV show to get a good finale. Just look at Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, How I Met Your Mother, Sherlock, House of Cards, Lost…. I can keep going. But Gavin & Stacey… damn you Corden, I’ll give you this one. And thank you for not giving an answer to the fishing trip story - that gag only works by not knowing the truth! Crackin’.

Overall score: 8/10

Bad Education brings us a musical Christmas special and Jack Whitehall!

Bad Education brings us a musical Christmas special and Jack Whitehall!

Where would we be without the Christmas special? Somewhere, each season, a show delivers something just a little bit zanier than normal, and this time would could be more festive than a musical episode of Bad Education themed along the lines of A Christmas Carol with an appearance from Jack Whitehall? Charles Dickens this is not. Bad Education returns for an extra special musical-themed…

Hii I was wondering if you’d write gang when it’s your birthday? I think it’s be really cool since my birthdays the 27th!! (your inbetween pony and Johnny age wise)

the gang on your birthday (request)

pairings: ponyboy x reader, johnny x reader, sodapop x reader, darry x reader, dally x reader, two-bit x reader, steve x reader (separate platonic)

warnings: cussing

authors note: i won’t be posting anything friday to monday, im going camping! sorry about that, happy birthday! i hope you enjoy 💗

word count: 0.8k

PONYBOY CURTIS

pony looks up to you because you’re a bit older than him and probably the best role model out of the gang

as he can’t get you much because he doesn’t have a job and he doesn’t have money, he’ll somehow get you a book and write you a poem or letter

writing things is like his love language, if he gives you a note or writes a poem or a letter for you, he wrote it with his whole heart

he doesn’t really think much about getting you food or bringing you somewhere, it’s more about giving you something he took time to make

JOHNNY CADE

johnny can’t give you much because he doesn’t have money, will probably steal something from a store or restaurant for you

but he’ll talk with you late at night at the lot, feeling sorry he can’t get you much

you appreciate that he risks getting in trouble just so the two of you can talk for longer, doesn’t necessarily do much for your birthday though

instead of giving you a lot of items and money for your birthday, he talks to you a lot throughout the day about how old you are

SODAPOP CURTIS

on your birthday, soda gives you a cute letter and bakes you cupcakes or a small cake only for you

probably arrives at your house and wakes you up just to say happy birthday, a rainbow party hat on his head and a party horn

makes it everyone’s deal that it’s your birthday, takes you to do crazy stuff in restaurants and gets you food for free because ‘it’s your fucking birthday’

also makes you feel like you’re the most special person in the whole world on your birthday, basically gives you nearly everything you want because it’s your day

DARRY CURTIS

darry probably makes you chocolate cake or cupcakes with his ingredients, although whenever you come over, you have chocolate cake, it feels special when you have it on your birthday

because you’re young, he’ll rant about how you should cherish your days, it won’t be soon before all your time is gone and to take advantage of being young and having fun

sometimes his family would go out and get food for him and his brothers birthdays, so he gets you food or a little snack

he’ll get you a letter too, it says something like how you’re a good kid and and you can come to him if you ever need to

DALLAS WINSTON

dally hardly even celebrates his birthday, so if he gets you something or remembers, you’re lucky

he probably swipes you a gift from your favorite shop, he doesn’t care enough to pay for it and is more focused on getting to you than how he got the item

he might get you a letter if your relationship is truly important to him, writing only a few words, believing it’s the thought that matters

tells you that you better appreciate it, if you voice that you don’t, he’ll say something about his parents never getting him anything for his birthdays

TWO-BIT MATHEWS

two-bit tries to make you as annoyed but as happy as you can on your birthday, also making it everyone’s business

tries to get you as much as you can just by telling people ‘oh, yeah, it’s her birthday. how old are you turning again? wow you’re super old!’ even though he’s older than the seniors as a junior

swipes you a ton of random shit, brings you to the drive in just to mess around with some socs

he either babies you or treats you like an adult just to make you annoyed, he’ll do whichever one gets you ticked off, telling you, “soon enough, you’ll be able to drink beer! man, i’m gettin’ old.”

STEVE RANDLE

steve gives you some money so you can get something you want for your birthday

doesn’t really do much for your birthday, he might give you a letter or a note of some sort but very few words

at most, he’ll take the day off to hang out with you on your birthday

or if you really want to you could hang out with him at the DX and take a lot of free stuff, he lets you because it’s your birthday
