Gavin and Stacey fans finally get a brief look at Uncle Bryn and Jason on the ill-fated fishing trip.

Gavin & Stacey has teased fans about that infamous fishing trip for one last time, showing viewers some actual footage of the incident.

Gwen confirmed in the final episode that it took place 30 years ago. The Gavin and Stacey book merch too said that it took place on a Saturday in August of that year, too – so it checks out.

One of its stars, Alison Steadman, plays Essex-born Pam Shipman on the programme. The character is known for her distinctive accent, so viewers were left disoriented after Steadman spoke in her natural voice. Born in Liverpool, the star has barely any traces left of her hometown’s accent, instead speaking in an RP (received pronunciation) accent.

Viewers of Gavin and Stacey: A Fond Farewell on BBC One last night were treated to a huge surprise as one of the show’s longest-running mysteries was addressed. The official finale of the series aired on Christmas Day, with fans getting the satisfaction of a lot of loose ends being tied up.
