The BBC has revealed the plot of Gavin & Stacey's finale, and a first-look photo of the stars, above.

The feature-length episode concluding the hit sitcom will broadcast on BBC One on Christmas Day. A documentary looking at the series and the making of the finale will also air over the Christmas period.

It's five years since we left Nessa down on one knee declaring her love for Smithy and asking him to marry her. And a lot has happened since then.

In Barry, Bryn's packing the Picasso in readiness for a trip to Essex; Stacey and Gavin are looking for new ways to spice up their seventeen year marriage and Gwen is behaving most strangely. Nessa's started a new business venture and Neil the Baby's about to begin an apprenticeship with his dad.

Over in Billericay Pam is stressing out at the prospect of playing hostess, not helped by a newly retired Mick practicing his golf swings in the living room and there have been more ups and downs in Pete and Dawn's relationship.

Join us on the journey to Barry and Billericay as we catch up with the Shipmans and the Wests for the very last time and maybe find out what exactly did happen on that fishing trip.

Gavin & Stacey is created, written and executive produced by Ruth Jones and James Corden. The duo star alongside Mathew Horne, Joanna Page, Alison Steadman, Larry Lamb and Rob Brydon.

A new complete box set, and the finale separately, will be released on both DVD and Blu-ray at the end of January and can be pre-ordered now.
