Gavin and Stacey fans spark frenzy as farewell special reveals secrets of THAT fishing trip
GAVIN and Stacey fans were sent into a frenzy at the turn of the New Year as a special documentary looking back at the hit sitcom appeared to hint what really happened on THAT fishing trip.
Fans of the long-running BBC comedy were left guessing when the programme came to an end on Christmas Day but failed to address the truth of the long-running secret.
It has been a long-running gag about what went down between Bryn and Jason on the trip with the answer never having been hinted at with show writers, Ruth Jones and James Corden, themselves admitting it has never been made clear.
However, it appeared as though ‘lost’ footage, filmed on that fishing trip, does indeed exist after being featured briefly on a commemorative documentary for the Beeb.
In the doc, fans got a glimpse of footage of Bryn and Jason on the fishing trip with scenes having seemingly been filmed on a low-quality camera with the characters showing off their biggest catch of the day.
As the Fond Farewell send-off came to an end, viewers were able to see Bryn and Jason by the riverside as well as around a campfire but the scenes were cut abruptly before the credits to not reveal anything further.
Reacting in surprise to the scenes, one fan wrote online: “The final fishing trip teaser has ended me.”
Another added: “OMG! The fishing trip; Nahh you can’t end like that with the fishing trip.”
Before a third commented: “OMG I thought nearly for a second there!! Bravo.”
Whilst the show opted not to reveal the major secret – it was confirmed that during the final ever episode, another character had known the truth about what went down all along.
Amid a shock revelation that Gwen West was having a secret romance with Dave Coaches – it turned out that he actually knew a lot more about her family than he had been letting on.
Bryn was left furious to discover that Gwen and Dave had dated in secret for six months which led him to hit out in a furious rant about keeping things from the family.
The moment in question caused Gwen to furiously lash out as she decided to remind him of his very own secrets.
Bryn muttered: “Secrets and lies, Gwen. Secrets and lies.”
To which she furiously responded by saying: “Secrets? You want to talk about secrets?
“Thirty years ago, you two went on a fishing trip that almost tore this family apart.
“And you still haven’t told a single soul what happened.”
As Jason, Stacey and Nessa stood and looked on, it forced Jason to make the most shocking revelation about the fishing trip to date.
Jason said: “That’s not strictly true. He did tell someone.
“And that someone is standing in this room.
“Isn’t he, Dave?”
Gwen then said in bemusement: “You know what happened on the fishing trip?”
It seemed as though the truth was finally to be confessed once and for all as Dave began to recount the story.
He said: “From what I was told, it was cold.
“The tent was up and the sun was down. The fire was blazing. And the soup was bubbling in the billy can.
“And then…”
The clan were then saved by the bell as the smoke alarm began to ring out as Gwen burnt her infamous omelette’s.
