GAVIN And Stacey was the biggest thing on the box this festive season – but eagle-eyed fans noticed a ‘rookie mistake’ in the show’s grand finale.
The tear-jerker of a special ended with Smithy and Nessa finally tying the knot – after a five-year cliffhanger following Nessa’s shock proposal at the end of the last Christmas special.

The happy ending looked unlikely as the feature-length episode kicked off, with viewers quickly learning Smithy had said no in favour of sticking with his stuffy girlfriend Sonia.
But fans got what they craved when Smithy, aided by Gavin and Stacey‘s nearest and dearest, fled his and fiancée Sonia’s wedding to drive to Southampton Port to intercept Nessa before she took to the seas having turned her back on Barry Island.
Driven by former love rival Dave Coaches, the group made it just in time for Smithy to pour his heart out to Nessa on the deck of a boat.
At first she told him plainly that she wouldn’t ask him to marry her again, forcing him to swallow his pride and propose.
Nessa eventually accepted, paving the way for a registry office wedding in front of the show’s most popular faces.
Amid all the drama it was easy to miss a production error that gave away the port scene wasn’t filmed where it claimed to be.
Signs on the set read ‘Port of Southampton’, however, locals quickly realised it couldn’t have been filmed in their city as certain features simply didn’t match up.
And they were right, because the scenes were shot in Newport Docks, Wales, more than 120 miles away.
One person said: “Hills in the background sounds like a rookie mistake.”
Another posted on Facebook: “Being someone who has worked in Southampton docks, I can tell you it wasn’t Southampton docks.”
Ultimately, the gaffe didn’t spoil the episode which was watched by a staggering 12.3million people.
Writers and co-stars James Corden, 46, and Ruth Jones, 58, reunited to watch the programme as it aired.
They posed for a selfie beforehand, which James posted on social media, alongside the caption: “We had to be together to watch tonight.”

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?
