The final ever episode of Gavin & Stacey is going to be the length of a movie!
One of the show's stars, Larry Lamb, teased some details about the upcoming Christmas special in a recent interview.
The 77-year-old actor - who has played Gavin’s dad Mick Shipman since the first episode aired in 2007 - has revealed that the run-time will be one and a half hours, describing it as “film-length”.
He wasn't able to reveal much about the highly anticipated finale but he did describe it as "funny" and "moving".
"All the way through, there’s such funny and such moving stuff in it. Of course, because it’s an hour and a half so it’s like a film-length thing, nobody is in every bit of it," the actor told The London Standard in a recent interview.
“So there are bits that you’re in and there are bits that you aren’t in. All I’ve done is read the whole script, I know the whole story but I’ve not seen lots of it because I’ve only seen the bits that I’m in," he continued.
Although he was not present for the entire filming process, he’s adamant that “not one letter of any one word” of the script was changed.
“That’s it. You do it the way that it’s written because they would have spent months putting that thing together. You know, figuring out and refining little bits and pieces," he continued.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the way it comes out on film and watching it with my family because I’ve had to keep it from all of them for the best part of a year now," he added.
The final ever episode of Gavin & Stacey will air on BBC One on Christmas Day.
