As the filming for the final episode of “Gavin and Stacey” comes to a close, Alison Steadman, who plays Gavin’s mother Pam, opened up about her emotional journey during an interview with BBC’s The One Show. Reflecting on the beloved sitcom’s conclusion, Steadman shared, “90% of us were in tears,” highlighting the bittersweet emotions the cast has faced as the end drew near.
The show’s co-creators, James Corden and Ruth Jones, revealed in May that a special final episode would air on Christmas Day. Filming began in September, attracting excited fans to various spots across the Vale of Glamorgan, where they eagerly lined up for a chance to see their favorite stars. Steadman mentioned the significance of the last five weeks, saying, “We’ve had a great five weeks; we only finished on Monday night.” This finale has been an emotional rollercoaster for the cast and signifies the end of an era not just for the show, but for its devoted fans as well.
