Gavin & Stacey memorabilia from finale sparks bidding war for thousands of pounds – here’s how you could snap it up
GAVIN and Stacey finale memorabilia has sparked a bidding war for thousands of pounds – here’s how you could snap it up.
Millions watched as the beloved BBC sitcom came to an end on Christmas Day 2024.
Fans now have a chance to get their hands on an incredible keepsake.
The clapperboard used in the hit TV show’s finale has been donated to Tŷ Hafan Children’s Hospice in Sully.
Provided by camera crew member Steve, it is now up for bids on the Hospice’s eBay site.
So far, there have been over 20 bids made – with the price currently at £2,500.00.
As per the listing, bidding will conclude on Friday, February 28.
A total of 12 cast members have added their autographs – making it incredibly alluring for any Gavin and Stacey enthusiast.
The names include Mathew Horne (Gavin), Joanna Page (Stacey), Ruth Jones (Nessa) and James Corden (Smithy).
Meanwhile, Alison Steadman (Pam), Larry Lamb (Mick), Rob Brydon (Uncle Bryn) and Melanie Walters (Gwen) also contributed their signatures.
Rounding out the list are Robert Wilford (Jason), Julia Davis (Dawn), Adrian Scarborough (Pete) and Steffan Rhodri (Dave Coaches).
According to the Penarth Times, co-creator Ruth Jones said: “I hope it raises some much-needed funds for the wonderful Tŷ Hafan.”
The much-anticipated Christmas Day finale took many fans by surprise early on.
In a major, top secret plot twist, Smithy was revealed to be marrying overbearing fiancee Sonia.
Laura Aikman, who played Sonia, even hid the details from her family until transmission.
Fans recalled how the 2019 special ended with Nessa proposing to the father of her child.
By 2024, Smithy was unaware how many of his loved ones felt Sonia wasn’t the right fit for him.
Gavin and Stacey's Best Moments
With the news that the show is set to make an exciting return to screens, let's take a look at some of the comedy programme's biggest and best moments...
- Smithy and Rudi’s American Boy rap – No one will ever forget when James Corden and Sheridan Smith rapped perfectly word for word the Kanye West and Estelle hit American Boy as they walked across the car park on the phone to Gavin.
- Pam’s Vegetarian faux pas – Despite loving a cheesburger, Pam found herself caught up in a web of unexpected lies when she claimed to be Vegetarian. She is forced to keep up the secret throughout the entire show and uses hubby Mick to help her scoff meat. She is later rumbled when Stacey catches her in the act as she scoffs ham in the kitchen. Stacey says to her: “Is that ham, Pam!?… “I’ve seen you, Pam. A scotch egg here, a bit of bacon there, putting those regular sausages into the Linda McCartney box”.
- THAT fishing trip – It remains one of the biggest mysteries in Gavin and Stacey history as to just exactly what did happen on the ill-fated fishing trip. Bryn appears to be hiding a secret as to an occurance between him and his nephew Jason which has left relations fractures. Ness’ on-off boyfriend, Dave, is the only other person to know the whole truth. Bryn did appear to allude to him and Jason lying together naked to keep warm as he said to Dave: “We’re going to have this out, once and for all, man to man, you may know what happened, David, but you don’t know why it happened! It was freezing cold, it was! And when you are that cold…”
- Islands in the Stream – No one can ever forget the classic Karaoke performance of Islands in the Stream. Nessa and Bryn performed the track in front of all their nearest and dearest. It saw the whole pub burst into some line-dancing as they enjoyed a boozy night out.
- The Xmas special proposal – In 2019, fans were left overjoyed when the show made a comeback but it ended on the ultimate cliffhanger. Nessa asked Smithy if she would marry him as she finally laid bare her feelings for him. Fans were gutted as the show then cut straight to the credits as they never found out just how Smithy answered. Will all be revealed in the brand new episode?
He later came to this realisation – at the altar of all places – and then knew who he was meant to be with.
Smith reunited with Nessa, thanks to an assist from the other characters.
Viewers saw the pair tie the knot at long last in one of the show’s final scenes.
Gavin and Stacey’s finale is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
Snow alert for north of Ireland in 0C spring freeze as rest of country braces for ‘heavy showers’
WEATHER chiefs have warned that sleet and snow will hit parts of the country – as temperatures fall to 0C.
Snowfall is set to hit high parts of Northern Ireland tomorrow as well as Scotland.
Confirming snowfall for parts of the North on Wednesday morning, the Met Office in the UK said: “A band of heavy rain will sweep in tonight, bringing snow over the hills across Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and the northern Pennines.”
For the rest of the country, there’s “heavy showers” on the cards.
Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather said: “A band of heavy showers crossing country tonight but after that rainfall amounts look generally low for next seven days away from Northwest and West.
“Milder air moving in for first week of Spring too. Could be a lot of cloud next week though.”
A spokesperson for Met Eireann said: “While rain tonight may fall for a time as a mix of sleet and snow over hills and mountains and in the north, accumulations are not expected.
“There is no expectation of accumulations of snow this week in Donegal, Monaghan or anywhere else in Ireland.”
Forecaster Linda Hughes said: “For the rest of this afternoon there will be sunny spells and scattered blustery showers.
“Some of those will be heavy and there’s a chance of hail. The showers will become isolated this evening.
Highest temperatures of 7C to 10C in a moderate to fresh westerly wind.”
Tonight will bring “clear spells and isolated showers”.
She continued: “Outbreaks of squally rain will move into the southwest and will extend north-eastwards over the country during the night.
“There’s a chance of a few thunderstorms and possibly sleet on some northern hills.”
And temperatures will plummet to 0C to 3C.
Tomorrow morning, rain will clear from east Ulster to leave a “bright and breezy day with a mix of sunshine and scattered showers”.
Linda said: “Some of the showers will be heavy and prolonged especially in the northwest and there’ll be a chance of hail and thunder.
“Highest temperatures of 6C to 9C in fresh to strong north-westerly winds.
“Thursday looks set to be bright and fresh with plenty of sunshine.
“There’ll be a few passing showers mainly confined to Atlantic coastal counties. Highest temperatures will range from 7C to 10C.”
Huge new monument at iconic London landmark is unveiled by BBC star
AN ENORMOUS “beating heart” has appeared in Trafalgar Square – powered by human connections.
The installation, called the Connected Heartbeat measures nearly four by four metres and glows in real time as calls, texts and data connections are made on the Vodafone network in the capital.
The best time to see the heart in action could be 7:01 pm, after research of 2,000 adults revealed this to be the busiest time of day when it comes to making calls and sending texts.
Across a whole day, the average adult sends an estimated 28 messages to friends and family – more than 10,000 a year – with Londoners the most active on their phones compared to other parts of the country.
Vodafone unveiled the installation and research to celebrate being named London’s Best Network by NET CHECK for the second year running.
Broadcaster Roman Kemp got the heart glowing as he encouraged passers-by to get the heart ‘beating’ with their own network connections.
He said: “I have lived in the capital for years now and to see my fellow Londoner’s waking up and connecting with others in real time as they go about their day and as a piece of art is really cool.
“I’ve never seen anything like it, and it really shows the power of connection and how integral it is to the fabric of our daily lives.”
The study also found a good old fashioned phone call is only the fourth most-common way to get in touch with friends, with just 10 per cent frequently making them.
Despite this, nearly 13 million voice calls are still made in London on an average day on Vodafone’s network.
It lags behind WhatsApp messages (51 per cent), SMS messages (16 per cent) or social media updates (14 per cent).
Of the UK’s mobile phone users, those in London send the most messages, firing off more nearly 50 a day – and they also make the most phone calls.
While Gen Z are the biggest message fans, with WhatsApp used most frequently, sending five times more than a typical Boomer.
The typical adult is also involved in eight different group chats, with those aged 25-34 in the most, having to keep up with a staggering 12 different groups.
But 66 per cent believe daily digital connection is essential for maintaining relationships with loved ones, according to the survey conducted via OnePoll.com.
And six in 10 believe they would have less contact with their loved ones if it wasn’t for their mobile phones.
Andrea Donà, chief network officer and network director at Vodafone UK, said: “Seeing our network brought to life in such a striking way is fascinating and something that has never been done before.
“We power millions of connections in the city every single day, and what better way to celebrate this than by putting it in shining lights.
“We know staying connected night and day is important, whether that’s for work or being able to check-in with loved ones on-the-go.”
