James Corden and Ruth Jones created Gavin and Stacey, and while the Christmas special has been presented as a final goodbye to the BBC show the duo revealed they have even more in store

If you’re anything like me then all the anticipation, excitement and general hoo-ha about the long-awaited return and indeed permanent exit (they say) of Gavin & Stacey will have had you rewatching previous episodes of a sitcom that started off with almost a whisper on BBC Three and will end with a bang on BBC One on Christmas night.

Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Gavin & Stacey: The Finale -- starring James Corden and Ruth Jones -- is set to air on BBC and iPlayer Christmas Day. "It's five years since we left Nessa (Jones) down on one knee declaring her love for Smithy (Corden) and asking him to marry her. And a lot has happened since then," the BBC said in a press release on Tuesday.

James Corden and Ruth Jones have penned a 'Gavin and Stacey' book, which will be released in October 2025 and it promises to be "full of revelations and never-before-heard stories".
