Depending on Smithy’s response, I’m not going to lie, potentially very tidy indeed.550 E Hanford Armona Rd, Lemoore, CA 93245Ĥ550 Cypress Creek Ln, Kalamazoo, MI 49004Ģ802 Four Seasons Dr, Phenix City, AL 36867ġ26 Private Road 2114, South Point, OH 45680Ģ400 Harriman Ln, Redondo Beach, CA 90278 I won’t spoil what happens next except to say that it’s a crackin’ ending. Ness comes out to talk to him as Sonia drives off. Sonia is baffled and uncomfortable around the gang and opts to head to her parents’ house earlier than planned. Ness tells Stacey that they did in fact sleep together. The beating heart of the show remains, as it was always destined to be when two actors write a show, the characters the creators play: Smithy and Ness.Īfter getting drunk in the pub on Christmas Eve, the pair wake up in bed together the next morning. Gavin and Stacey’s rut/lack of rutting problems are quickly solved by a trip down memory lane – or at least round the island – because their narrative is the main concern in name only. Photograph: Tom Jackson/BBC/GS TV Productions Ltd There are the traditional array of minor misadventures: Pam forgets to bring the Christmas puddings with her and the replacements from Morrisons are left in the pub, the kids scupper Stacey and Gavin’s attempt to bone, and Bryn incurs an unfair debt of £5 to Dick Powell regarding some bread sauce.ĭown memory lane … Gavin and Stacey. It’s all go, but we must maintain our faith in Bryn otherwise we have nothing on this earth. In Barry, Bryn is preparing the meal “for over 13 people!” and putting final touches to his schedule, checking Gwen’s oven dimensions and tracking down the plate-warmer Glenda claims she never borrowed. But because Dawn is played by Julia Davis, the whole scene is invested with such unspoken horrors and suffused with such thick dread before the truth is revealed, it is a wonder we don’t all choke on our own primal fears before it’s done. They have only to deal with Dawn and Peter’s latest marital meltdown – she has found a spliff in his glovebox and assumed a secret heroin addiction. For Gavin’s mother Pam, this is akin to being asked to spend the night in a stable, so she is busy trying to pack the contents of her immaculate Essex home into two small bags, insect spray, mattress topper, towels, Bear Grylls survival kit and all. It is the Welsh contingent’s turn to host the family festivities this year.

“But that doesn’t even touch the sides.” Smithy is on the verge of asking Sonia to marry him. “I’ve had the odd scrag end tossed my way on the island,” she tells Stacey, with the weary contempt of a goddess stuck too long among mortals. Smithy is still a reliable presence in her and Neil’s life, but his and Ness’s casual hookups ceased when he took up with a new girlfriend, Sonia, nearly a year ago.
