EMOTIONAL James Corden fought back tears while discussing Gavin and Stacey’s final and the show’s very last line.
James, 46, grew visibly emotional on Friday’s installment of The Graham Norton Show while appearing with his co-star and creator Ruth Jones, 58, to discuss the Christmas special.
The actor was moved after host Graham quizzed him on the dynamics of filming the comeback episode.
Graham had said, “What was it like at the end? Did it feel like the end? Were you all crying? Was it really emotional, or is it going to hit you later on that it’s over?”
James replied, “It was a very, very special day. We really kind of scheduled the show so that the very last line that we’ll ever hear in the episode is the last thing we shot.”
He added with a smile, “Which anyone will tell you is so rare that you ever do. Normally, your last day, you’re out on a motorway on your own in a car, and people go, ‘Well done,’ and you go, ‘Bye then.’
“But we really felt like we wanted everybody to be there at the very, very end, and it was just a lot of tears.”
James also spoke about his co-star Joanna Page, 47, who plays Stacey, and her emotional reaction during filming.
He joked, “Joanna basically cried every day. Anytime that you might want to feel like, ‘Oh, I’m just enjoying us being together,’ Joanna would come up and go, ‘Oh my God, can you believe this is the last time we’re ever going to be at Gwen’s?’
“Or, ‘I just realised it’s the last time I’m ever going to wear Stacey’s shoes.’ And that was basically it for six weeks. It’s been a lot of goodbyes.”
Speaking about a private event for the special held earlier in the week, James said, “We had a screening two days ago, which is the first time anybody has seen it, and that was a lot of tears.
“It’s been a very, very emotional thing to do, really.”
When Graham asked if they planned to watch the episode on Christmas Day, Ruth confirmed, “Yeah, we’re going to watch it together.”
James added, “With our families, it’s how we watched the last one.”
The Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, running for 90 minutes, will serve as the final chapter in the beloved comedy, which first aired on BBC Three in 2007.
The show, spanning three series and 20 episodes, followed the long-distance relationship of Gavin, from Essex, and Stacey, from South Wales, along with the dynamics between their families.
Over the years, the series has cemented its place in fans’ hearts and turned its cast members, including Mathew and Joanna, into household names.
Gavin and Stacey: The Finale will air Christmas Day at 9pm on BBC One. Read More Details
