As a cinephile with a penchant for British television and a soft spot for heartwarming comedies, I must say that “Gavin & Stacey: The Finale” was an absolute delight to watch. Having grown up on reruns of this show, it was a nostalgic joy to see the characters back after a decade. The fact that it managed to pull in over 12 million viewers and garner such positive reviews is a testament to its enduring appeal.
On UK’s Christmas Day, “Gavin & Stacey: The Finale” emerged victorious in the battle for top ratings on the BBC.
The highly anticipated 90-minute program, penned and executive produced by celebrities James Corden and Ruth Jones, garnered an impressive viewership of 12.3 million, representing a significant 64.75% audience share, as reported by Overnights.TV.
Critics were equally captivated, with The Guardian describing it as “a stunningly emotional television production,” and The Times of London’s critic enthused: “It’s not often that we experience a collective ‘TV moment,’ but this felt like one. I can’t imagine a more fitting conclusion.
Back in the golden days of 2007, the brilliant duo behind “Gavin & Stacey”, Corden and Jones, graced our screens with this delightful show. Over three captivating seasons that ended in 2010, it grew from a simple hit to a beloved cult classic. On Christmas Day of 2019, we were gifted another special episode, leaving fans craving more. Ever since then, I’ve been eagerly waiting for an update from Corden, who was preoccupied with his hosting duties on CBS’s “The Late Late Show” until last year – but now, the anticipation is higher than ever for this iconic series to make its grand return!
The particular special outperformed “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” the second-most-viewed show, by a significant margin. With 9.4 million viewers and a 53.07% audience share, it was quite popular. Broadcast on BBC, this stop-motion movie is Aardman Animation’s second full-length film following “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” from 2005. It will be available on Netflix starting January 3.
Approximately 5 million individuals (representing 44.8% of the audience) tuned in to watch King Charles III deliver his third annual Christmas address. This year’s speech, filmed at London’s Fitzrovia Chapel instead of the usual royal residence, was recorded earlier this month. In his speech, the King addressed the hardships of a turbulent geopolitical landscape as well as personal struggles he and his family have faced recently. Notably, both Charles and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, were diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of this year. Last month, Queen Camilla fell ill with a chest infection, causing her to cancel several events. Earlier in the summer, Princess Anne was hospitalized following an injury sustained from a horse.
At some point in our lives, everyone experiences hardship, whether emotional or physical,” the monarch expressed in his address. “The level of compassion and assistance we show to one another – regardless if we are religious or not – reflects the maturity and kindness of our societies as countries.
