However, viewers were left distracted by a glaring mistake near the end of the instalment.
It concerned the character Smithy’s (James Corden) full, real name being unveiled.
Writing on a Reddit forum, a fan said: “I noticed that Smithy’s full name at his wedding was revealed to be Neil Noel Edmund Smith.
“But that’s supposed to be Neil, the Baby’s name (named after Noel from Hear’Say and Smithy’s grandad Edmund).
“Not criticising Ruth & James for what is an incredibly minor nitpick, more a realisation that I probably watch the show too much.”
A second viewer commented: “That is a pretty big oversight to be fair – well spotted.”
A third added: “I noticed that too.
“My head explanation was that he changed his name to match Neil The Baby because I’d rather not just have a dumb plothole.”
A fourth chimed in: “But the tradition in Smithy’s family is the son is named Neil too – so potentially Smithy could have the same names as his son.”
Another speculated: “I think it was supposed to be a reveal. Smithys middle name is Noel Edmond and by sheer coincidence, so is Neil the baby’s.
“Like how they both ended up being called Neil, in the first place.
“Smithy is probably too embarrassed to mention it when he’s younger and it also explains why he got so defensive at the Christening when people were saying he’d called his son Noel Edmonds.”
The finale episode dropped a big twist in the opening minutes – following the show’s cliffhanger from five years ago.
He instead proposed to obnoxious girlfriend Sonia (Laura Aikman).
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 the 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 cheesburger, Pam found herself caught up in a web of unexpected lies when she claimed to be 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 history as to just exactly what did happen on the ill-fated fishing trip. Bryn appears to be hiding a secret as to an occurance 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 all be revealed in the brand new episode?
Smithy’s loved ones intervened at the wedding, telling him the marriage wasn’t right.
Realising he loved Nessa, the characters raced to Southampton to stop her heading out to sea.
After catching Nessa in time, Smithy proposed and viewers saw the pair finally marry.
Gavin and Stacey: The Finale is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
