Gavin and Stacey extra reveals hilarious Dawn and Pete scene was AXED from final edit in behind-the-scenes update
A GAVIN and Stacey extra reveals a hilarious Dawn and Pete scene that was axed from the final edit of the Christmas Day finale.
The last ever episode aired on Christmas Day with fans glued to their screens to see the final instalment of the hit BBC comedy series.
The actor, Scott McGlynn, featured as an extra in the festive special as part of James Corden‘s character Smithy’s stag party.
Recently, Scott has shared a few behind-the-scenes secrets with fans of the hit show.
In a video post, he has now revealed details of a deleted scene between Dawn and Chinese that ended up being cut from the finale.
He explains: “Alright guys so I’ve got another little insight for you here and this happened at the wedding between Dawn and Chinese.
“Which did not make the final cut and I’m gonna tell you what happened because I was right there, right behind them and I saw it all happen.”
Scott then continues: “I watched it again and I thought where is this scene?
“It didn’t make it. But this is what happened. When Dawn and Peter arrive they go in and sit down.
“The boys then sit down just after them, then Chinese whispered into Dawn’s ear and said: ‘Did someone order a Chinese?’ and then she just went ‘F off.
“The amazing Julia Davis who plays Dawn there, she is amazing, so sweet, smiling and waving.
“I don’t know why that did not make the final cut because I thought it was so funny.
“I was behind laughing, and don’t forget they do so many takes so I was behind watching it and every time I was laughing just behind Chinese and it was so funny I wish they kept it in honestly.”
Scott then finished by saying: “But, that was a deleted scene that no one would have known about unless you were there.
“That’s a little insight on Gavin and Stacey for you. More coming soon.”
The video is captioned: “Gavin and Stacey a scene that didn’t make the final cut, by me (smithy’s stag). If you have any questions comment below.”
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?
Fans of the show were eager to respond with one saying: “Bet that was fun.”
Another added: “Noooooo, that would have been brilliant!”
While a third exclaimed: “How amazing to be part of it all.”
Gavin and Stacey’s brilliant finale left millions of fans on the edge of their seats on Christmas Day.
But even the cast couldn’t predict one of the big twists that was sprung on viewers during the show.
It emerged that Stacey’s mum Gwen (Melanie Walters) had been enjoying a secret fling with Dave Coaches (Steffan Rhodri) – and even the cast were stunned by the surprise.
Lauren Cornelius, who played the part of Sonia’s bridesmaid Anna, has revealed the huge twist made the stars of the show gasp out loud during the first read through of the script.
But the thing that viewers loved even more – was the romantic ending for Smithy and Nessa – which was worthy of a teary eye or two.
