‘It would be a mistake’ says Gavin and Stacey’s Rob Brydon as he reveals major concern about final ever episode
ROB Brydon has revealed the one major concern he has ahead of the highly anticipated final of Gavin And Stacey.
He is set to reprise his role as the beloved Uncle Bryn in his signature woollen cardigans one final time in the upcoming Christmas Special.
James Corden and Ruth Jones previously announced that after much speculation, the hit BBC sitcom will return for one last instalment.
Whilst Rob, 59, is excited to return to his long-running alter-ego, there is one matter which he hopes the writers will not address.
The infamous sitcom was written by the comedy pairing and it became a smash hit after its debut in 2007.
One long-running joke in the series features Rob’s naive and endearing character refer to the infamous fishing trip.
This was with his nephew Jason (played by Rob Wilfort) as both characters continue to refuse to reveal any details about their excursion.
A mystery event made them both uncomfortable, but just when the audience could find out what happened, an action prevents the reveal.
Ahead of the highly-anticipated special, the actor thinks that the secrets from the getaway should remain a secret.
He also claimed that if they were to reveal what happened, it would be a “mistake.”
“I hope we don’t find out about the fishing trip. That would be a mistake,” Rob declared to The Metro.
He added: “They should keep the mystery. You must never resolve that. That’s the thing. It is the not knowing.”
However, the actor is excited to reunite with his longtime co-stars like Mathew Horne and Joanna Page.
And he has high hopes for the upcoming edition, which will be the last
He told the outlet: “I just hope that – and I know they will – they’ll give me some of the juicy things to do
The actor opened up whilst promoting his new project, My Lady Jane at the Hotel Cafe Royal.
In the new Prime Video show, he plays the scheming Lord Dudley in the comedy re-imagining of the Tudor period.
Rob couldn’t help but compare his new regal role to the fan-favourite kind sitcom role.
He admitted: “Well, the big thing with Uncle Bryn is I feel so comfortable and relaxed playing him because it’s so much the rhythms and the music of my childhood and growing up in Wales.
“They sort of wrote it with me in mind so I find it very easy, This chap [Lord Dudley] was a little more likely to be charming, so you try and find the part of yourself that you can bring into it and mould so it was perhaps not quite as comfortable and easy as Bryn but it was it was within my sort of wheelhouse.”
He added: “It was a chance to potentially play a few new notes. I’m usually just the nice guy, so this was appealing.”
Ruth and James previously shared the news of the final ever episode on social media back in May.
The duo posed for a black and white snap with the script emblazoned with the show’s title that covered their of their faces.
However, the front cover revealed the show will be called “Gavin and Stacey: the finale”, making it the last ever episode.

Gavin and Stacey's Best Moments
With the news that the show is set to make an exciting return to screens, let's take a look at some of the comedy programme's biggest and best moments...
- Smithy and Rudi’s American Boy rap – No one will ever forget when James Corden and Sheridan Smith rapped perfectly word for word Kanye West and Estelle hit American Boy as they walked across the car park on the phone to Gavin.
- Pam’s Vegetarian faux pas – Despite loving a cheeseburger, Pam found herself caught up in a web of unexpected lies when she claimed to be a Vegetarian. She is forced to keep up the secret throughout the entire show and uses hubby Mick to help her scoff meat. She is later rumbled when Stacey catches her in the act as she scoffs ham in the kitchen. Stacey says to her: “Is that ham, Pam!?… “I’ve seen you, Pam. A scotch egg here, a bit of bacon there, putting those regular sausages into the Linda McCartney box”.
- THAT fishing trip – It remains one of the biggest mysteries in Gavin and Stacey’s history as to just exactly what happened on the ill-fated fishing trip. Bryn appears to be hiding a secret as to an occurrence between him and his nephew Jason which has left relations fractures. Ness’ on-off boyfriend, Dave, is the only other person to know the whole truth. Bryn did appear to allude to him and Jason lying together naked to keep warm as he said to Dave: “We’re going to have this out, once and for all, man to man, you may know what happened, David, but you don’t know why it happened! It was freezing cold, it was! And when you are that cold…”
- Islands in the Stream – No one can ever forget the classic Karaoke performance of Islands in the Stream. Nessa and Bryn performed the track in front of all their nearest and dearest. It saw the whole pub burst into some line-dancing as they enjoyed a boozy night out.
- The Xmas special proposal – In 2019, fans were left overjoyed when the show made a comeback but it ended on the ultimate cliffhanger. Nessa asked Smithy if she would marry him as she finally laid bare her feelings for him. Fans were gutted as the show then cut straight to the credits as they never found out just how Smithy answered. Will it all be revealed in the brand-new episode?
