So glad they're giving us another one. I was worried they were going to leave it all how the 2019 special ended, but hopefully this one can be a big last hurrah with everything wholesome and complete heart.gif

She says a lot of words… but calls it a “rumour” and doesn’t actually say it’s not happening. laugh.gif

I’ve seen a few journalists say that Deadline wouldn’t have reported on it if they weren’t sure, so I expect there will be an official announcement a few months from now.

Can’t wait! I honestly didn’t realise it’s been nearly 5 years since the last special. It feels like it was only on a couple of years ago.

Can’t wait for this! Ruth Jones was clearly just trying to keep it quiet then by saying it was nonsense laugh.gif

The wording was very clever looking back. She didn’t say there wouldn’t be a Christmas special this year. She said the rumour of a bidding war between the BBC and Netflix wasn’t true. I’m glad but kind of disappointed they are going for a finale instead just churning out specials for the sake of it because you could ruin the show doing that.

I guess they want to wrap it up properly while they can, as some of the older cast are in their late 70s now.

I think it's brave to say it's a definitive finale, because you can't really do any more after that.

Well, you can, but it's a bit odd.

I don't think it's that odd. The shows donkeys years old now and it's probably about time it got a proper closure.

Expect it will do very good ratings as part of an impressive BBC Christmas Day lineup (maybe switch EE and CTM round):

Something like
16:30 Wallace and Gromit
18:00 BBC News
18:10 Doctor Who
19:00 Call the Midwife
20:00 EastEnders
21:00 Gavin and Stacey

Ywah, big shows starting around 7 through 10, so they'll need something else big on just after

Sorry, when I say it's odd, I mean when shows do "final ever" shows but then return a few years later.

I was unclear, apologies. I don't think G&S ever did that necessarily, unless they did.
