Ruth Jones swerves funeral question as she drops huge clue about what happened on Gavin and Stacey’s famous fishing trip
RUTH Jones has dropped a clue about what happened on Gavin and Stacey’s infamous fishing trip.
Fans of Gavin and Stacey have been desperate to know what happened on the trip with Bryn and his nephew Jason.
With the final ever episode set to air on Christmas Day, viewers are hoping we’ll find out.
But James Corden – who created the show with Ruth Jones – previously sparked concern when he joked about a funeral during the festive special.
Appearing on Heart Radio together, they were asked by a caller about the funeral rumours.
The listener said: “Hi James and Ruth, my name is Hannah. I just wanted to ask the question, does everybody make it through the finale? I’ve heard rumours of a funeral. What is going on?”
Ruth replied: “The thing is, Hannah, I think it would spoil it for you if we told you what’s actually going to happen. I think you’re just going to have to go with the flow and ride those emotions.”
Another listener called in to ask if the last episode would finally reveal all about the fishing trip.
Ruth teased: “All we can say is it is not illegal in this country.”
James previously admitted the final episode will be “hard to watch”.
At The Global Gift Gala charity event in London, he revealed: “What we were editing today was a very moving and emotional scene at Bryn’s funeral. I’m joking, I promise. Or am I?”
An extra who worked on the special episode has revealed why she knows it will definitely be the finaly installment.
Linda Bailey – who also works as a Gavin & Stacey locations tour guide – told The Sun: “I’m like I’m not being funny, the clue’s in the title, it is the finale.”
She continued: “And not just that, I found when we were going to some of the locations (for the tour).
“For instance one of the pubs, some of the props they’d used they were then getting rid of. That says to me, this is the end.”

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?
