Jason shares behind-the-scenes secrets from the iconic fishing trip, delighting fans with never-before-seen footage that has everyone buzzing.
Cardiff: So, you know that fishing trip from Gavin & Stacey? Well, fans just got a sneak peek at it! During a documentary that aired on New Year’s Day, we saw some never-before-seen footage of Uncle Bryn and Jason on that infamous trip. It’s been a running joke in the show, and now Robert Wilfort, who plays Jason, is spilling some secrets about it.
While everyone was buzzing about whether Smithy and Nessa would finally get together, the fishing trip mystery still had fans scratching their heads. But the documentary wrapped up with some hand-held camera clips from that day, giving us a first look at what went down. It’s become such an iconic part of the series!
In the clip, you hear Bryn asking, “who do we have here?” and then it cuts to Jason holding a fish. Classic! Bryn also jokes about not going hungry that night, and then he says, “Enjoy your soup!” It’s funny because we know the soup is a big part of the story, along with the fact that it was freezing cold. And whatever happened, it definitely wasn’t illegal!
Robert shared that this footage was actually filmed over ten years ago for the last episode of season three. He posted a throwback pic of them with their old-school hairstyles on Instagram, saying there was a scene where Bryn watches video footage of the trip, but it got cut because the episode was too long. At least some of it finally made it to the screen!
Uncle Bryn and Jason have kept the details of that trip under wraps, with only Dave Coaches knowing the full story. They’ve almost spilled the beans a few times, but someone always interrupts them. So, this footage is the closest fans have come to uncovering the truth.
It seems like Ruth Corden and James Corden wanted to keep the fishing trip a mystery forever, but this little Easter egg has fans over the moon. One fan commented on Robert’s post, saying it was an amazing surprise ending to the documentary. Another said they love the mystery and don’t even want to know what really happened because it might ruin it!
Many fans agreed that it was the perfect way to wrap up the documentary, which celebrated the show’s legacy over the past two decades. It brought both laughter and tears!
