Rob Brydon says it's 'overwhelming’ as he takes ‘pause’ after Gavin & Stacey Christmas special
While some fans are still coming to terms with the fact there will be no new episodes of Gavin & Stacey after the final ever on Christmas Day, 2024, one of the stars has said it was "overwhelming" after the finale aired. Rob Brydon, who plays the loveable Uncle Bryn, has said he is now taking a "pause".
Rob posted a picture of him walking his dog, Mabel, with a lengthy and emotional caption. He said: "Mabel and I wanted to pause awhile as we walk around the garden and wish everyone a happy new year. Also, to say a huge thank you for the response to Gavin and Stacey.
"When I read the script I thought it was very special but of course, you never know. When we filmed it, I thought it was very special but again, you never know. The response has been genuinely overwhelming. I'm hearing of people who are watching it three or four times and so many people have approached me in person or online to say how much they enjoyed it.

"I was particularly touched by a woman who came up to me in WH Smith in Kingston the other day, put her hand on my arm and said that she had been alone over Christmas and that the show had made Christmas for her. I don't think that any of us in the cast take these things for granted, so, thank you! #gavinandstaceychristmasspecial."
Fellow Welsh star Gethin Jones commented on the post: "It was perfect..." and many fans echoed Gethin's thoughts, one said: "It was perfect. We’ve watched it twice!" and: "Oh by Christ I’ve watched it 3 times…. So far! Best series, best writing, best characters, love every single minute."
