Gavin and Stacey fans go wild as BBC special A Fond Farewell reveals a HUGE hint about the fishing trip

Gavin and Stacey fans were treated to one final surprise during the documentary A Fond Farewell, as they finally got answers about the show’s infamous fishing trip.

The beloved sitcom ended on Christmas Day with a finale that viewers hailed as “perfect,” and the documentary offered a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the episode.

While the special ended on an emotional note, as creators James Corden and Ruth Jones reflected on the creation of the legendary sitcom, fans got one final hint about one of the show’s most famous running gags.

Home video footage showed the famous “fishing trip” between Uncle Bryn and his cousin Jason, which featured one of their biggest catches.

However, the home video was cut before fans had a chance to find out what event on that trip years earlier caused a huge family rift.

While the Easter Egg still didn’t answer one of Gavin and Stacey’s longest-standing questions, it still sparked a flood of comments from fans on social media.

Posts include ‘The last teaser of the fishing trip killed me;

‘OMG! The fishing trip; No, the fishing trip can’t end like this;’

‘OMG, I thought about that for almost a second!! Bravo.’

During Gavin and Stacey’s finale, some fans had hoped they would finally get answers about the famous fishing trip.

In a drama-packed episode surrounding Smithy’s wedding, Stacey discovered her mother Gwen had been keeping a secret from her.

In a hilarious scene, it was revealed that widow Gwen had been dating Nessa’s ex Dave Coaches, leaving Bryn visibly furious as Dave also had information about the fishing trip.

Gwen defended her relationship and immediately told Bryn that the fishing trip “almost tore the family apart,” after which Dave decided to reveal the truth, starting with the fact that it was “very dark and very cold.”

But before he could complete his sentence, the family was interrupted and the situation was not discussed again for the rest of the episode.

It was a move that divided many fans, with some disappointed that the long-running plot point would be left unresolved.

‘#GavinAndStacey wow what a finale, After 17 years they came together!!!! BUT WOW ABOUT THE FISHING UGHHH, but still I almost cried lmao’;

‘and we never found out what happened on the fishing trip’; ‘Nooooo, now we’ll never know what happened on the fishing trip!!’;

‘What the heck happened on the FISHING TRIP’; ‘#GavinAndStacey #Gonefishing only #Ted knew the truth about that fishing trip!’;

“That #GavinAndStacey finale got me hook, line and sinker. A bit like a fishing trip… Or maybe not, who knows? Dave Coaches does’;

‘…and we still don’t know what happened during the fishing trip’;

Gavin and Stacey: The Finale attracted a whopping 12.5 million viewers, becoming the most watched show on Christmas Day.

Viewers had waited five years to learn the fate of the BBC sitcom’s beloved characters and to see if Smithy had accepted Nessa’s proposal.

The final episode was praised as ‘perfect’ by viewers, who were left in tears when the long-running show finally aired its final episode after 17 years.

The BBC won the battle of the channels when it came to viewing figures, as 10 million people also watched the return of Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.
