Gavin & Stacey Creators Unveil Unaired ‘Fishing Trip’ Scene That Preserves the Mystery

The long-teased footage intentionally cuts out on a camcorder tape, leaving the question unresolved.

Overview

  • James Corden and Ruth Jones disclosed a never-aired series-three scene in which Jason and Uncle Bryn play a camcorder labeled “The fishing trip” before the tape fuzzes and jams.
  • The creators say they still do not know what happened on the trip, noting years of fan theories that range from playful to dark.
  • They revealed they rejected offers to turn the 2024 finale into a cinema release, deciding it belonged as a Christmas-night TV event.
  • The December 2024 finale was reported to have drawn more than 19.3 million viewers, making it the UK’s most-watched scripted program since current records began in 2002.
  • Corden and Jones are writing a new Apple TV+ series, while Ruth Jones has a separate BBC sitcom commissioned with Steve Speirs.
