The BBC releases a first-look picture and a story synopsis for the final episode of Gavin & Stacey.

The BBC has released a first-look picture and a story synopsis for the final ever episode of Gavin and Stacey.

The special 90-minute episode of the beloved sitcom will air on BBC One as the channel's flagship programme on Christmas Day, with as many as 20 million people expected to tune in.

All of the key characters are returning for the show's swansong - Gavin (Mathew Horne), Stacey (Joanna Page), Smithy (James Corden), Nessa (Ruth Jones), Pam (Alison Steadman), Mick (Larry Lamb), Uncle Bryn (Rob Brydon) and Gwen (Melanie Walters).

Also back are Dawn (Julia Davis), Pete (Adrian Scarborough), Jason (Robert Wilfort) and Neil the Baby (Oscar Hartland).

The episode's official synopsis:

"It's five years since we left Nessa down on one knee declaring her love for Smithy and asking him to marry her. And a lot has happened since then.

"In Barry, Bryn's packing the Picasso in readiness for a trip to Essex; Stacey and Gavin are looking for new ways to spice up their seventeen year marriage and Gwen is behaving most strangely. Nessa's started a new business venture and Neil the Baby's about to begin an apprenticeship with his dad.

"Over in Billericay Pam is stressing out at the prospect of playing hostess, not helped by a newly-retired Mick practicing his golf swings in the living room and there have been more ups and downs in Pete and Dawn's relationship.

"Join us on the journey to Barry and Billericay as we catch up with the Shipmans and the Wests for the very last time and maybe find out what exactly did happen on that fishing trip."
