Read our privacy policy James Corden has shared a behind the scenes image of the first day on set of Gavin & Stacey’s final episode, due to air this Christmas. In a candid image on his Instagram, Corden, who has played the lovable West Ham United fanatic ‘Smithy’ on the BBC sitcom since it began in 2007, wrote: “Day 1. The final episode will likely feature Matthew Horne and Joanna Page as the titular couple with other stars Rob Brydon, who plays uncle Bryn, and Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb, who play Gavin’s parents respectively, also expected to return. Despite the success of the previous episode it wasn’t without controversy as Nessa and Uncle Bryn’s performance of the Christmas classic ‘Fairytale of New York’ by The Pogues opted to include the homophobic slur ‘cheap lousy f*****”’ that was used in the original song.
