Is it just me? I don't think it's aged well at all, I thought the finale was rubbish!

Classic Christmas fairy tale in Barry. What's not to love. Great to see all the old characters carrying on as they do. I've missed them.

It's always been crap! Can't stand James Corden for a start... But each to their own!

It is a shame that James Corden is such a twat in real life. Ruth Jones broke up a marriage too IIRC so she’s not any better. I love Smithy and Nessa though.

Hyped up rubbish. Left saying was that it

For those who found it funny, which were the bits where you laughed?

Maybe I need to watch it again as I didn't find it funny but the previous series had loads of great, really funny moments.

I didn't get Gwen and Dave. There was no chemistry between them before and none now, truth be told.

Dawn and Pete, just a bit crap.

I thought the first half was crap, it got much better in the second half. The subplot with the role play stuff between Gavin and Stacey was weak and found Joanna Page's acting cringeworthy. I think she’s just playing herself.

Mind you, saying that we never watched Game of Thrones either but we watched the last one!

JoanOfArchers · 27/12/2024 00:44

I’ve never watched a single episode and wanted to tune in last night but DH said, apart from Gavin & Stacey name any other characters, I admitted defeat. Therefore I can’t really comment 🤣

Namenamchange · 27/12/2024 00:43

I don’t think it laugh out loud, but it’s an easy watch, and the characters are likeable.

We loved it!

YesIdolovehim · 27/12/2024 00:39

Funny and so touching. I cried and I’m a heartless cow

I laughed out loud a fair few times and was bawling my eyes out at the end. It felt really natural to watch, not forced like some shows are when they get together years after.

WhoPutTheBomp · 27/12/2024 00:38

It is finished now, so.you can relax and never have to dread a new episode.

Enough4me · 27/12/2024 00:38

I'm on team loved it.

minipie · 27/12/2024 00:38

It wasn’t super funny but it was sweet and nostalgic and had a good ending!

CosyRoby · 27/12/2024 00:37

It’s never been funny

RunVelma · 27/12/2024 00:37

It’s just you.

SOSausage · 27/12/2024 00:37

I loved it

mrssunshinexxx · 27/12/2024 00:37
