Gavin and Stacey: The finale

[IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece]

A final final episode!

Fingers crossed they can go out with a bang but not sure!

Lazy writing? They made a choice different from yours. I'm another who agrees with their choice. I would have hated to find out what happened.

I can't believe the number of people who insist it was a shame we don't know about what happened on the fishing trip. That was deliberate, not an oversight! And the "what's the joke with Owain Hughes?" There isn't one.

As for the accusations that Nessa is lying about everything she has done in her life....good grief! That's the whole humour of the character. Some are trying to say that she's a fantasist. Er no. You just don't get it.

there isn’t a joke, that’s the joke. It’s got nothing to do with Ydw i which isn’t linked to does he at all.

That's fine but your implication is that those of us posting the opposite are a bit dim but it's not that it's just a difference of opinion, it's fine, it's only a comedy not something to stress over.

For the love of G, we do know but are disputing it's use as it isn't funny!

I should add, in some of our opinions.

Its not it's

I've not said anything of the sort. If that's what you get out of what I wrote that's on you. You made the most negative comment talking about lazy writing!

No it's not especially funny I agree

I was talking about posters who appeared to think there'd be a big reveal, as if it's a major part of the plotline.

Apologies, my post was in response to another poster up thread.

Did they leave Neil the baby at the wedding?

Nessa is not the same age as G & S and Smithy - I'm sure it's been said that she's older (or at least insinuated).

A pp poster mentioned Harri being possibly named Harold Shipman.
Many of them are named after serial killers.
Stacey West
Gavin Shipman
Pete(r) Sutcliffe

I seem to be one of the few who found it dull, and only laughed once 🫣
ETA Ness was much more normal than she "should" be.
Too many wistful looks and emotional bits , rather than everything being deadpan.

Really?

How long do you think???
Don't be ridiculous... I only watched it last night so avoided comments/news stories etc... until after I'd seen it.
I even avoided this thread, and am enjoying reading everyone's thoughts and theories this morning.

Never watched a single episode but it's a tv show, everyone will have an opinion and no one is wrong.

It’s the opposite of lazy writing. To leave it as an unknown like that takes guts.

Very much agree. You can't criticise a drama on the basis that it's not what you would have done. It's like criticising Van Gogh because his lines were too wiggly (Outnumbered reference).

Some people will be a dickhead over anything 👍👍

More like lazy watching ability, if you need everything to be spelled out for you…

I'm a little envious, if I'm honest. Imagine having the free time and the headspace available to spend this much of both on a thread about a TV programme you didn't like, just to troll try and spoil the enjoyment of people who did and are now enjoying a chat about it.

Well not really, an Artist wants the viewer to view their work from their perspective, it's about the Artist. A comedy show is written to entertain, using certain devices to make people laugh; all shows are written for the audience and inevitably they will be reviewed and potentially criticised as a result, this is literally the whole point of this thread. It is not personal, it is not what 'I' would have done, I'm criticising the device they used as IMO it wasn't funny.

Jeez, did you write the script.

I think it was quite entertaining, I didn't find that bit funny and it felt like an afterthought.. don't take it to heart.

Reminds me of Joey's moo-point .... a cow's opinion 🐄 🤣
