After 17 years, Christmas day brought many of us the gift of closure.

Saying goodbye to our favourite show with James Corden and Ruth Jones wrapping it all up in a bow for us so we got the perfect ending.

Although, not every Gavin and Stacey fan is over the moon with what went down in the final ever episode last night (25 December).

That’s because, while Gwen (Melanie Walters) might have finally found love and while Nessa (Jones) and Smithy (Corden) finally ended up together, one thing in particular was left wide open. The mystery of the fishing trip, obviously.

This long-running joke has been going since the early days of the show, and we’ve never known what really went down between Jason (Robert Wilfort) and Uncle Bryn (Rob Brydon).

And plenty of us were naive enough to think we might have actually got an answer in the finale. Wrong.

So, the cast have explained the reason as to just why the details of that fishing trip have never been revealed.

They did really tease us though, as a scene during that Dave Coaches' (Steffan Rhodri) surprise made out like we might actually find out.

We did get a few new titbits of information, however, as Bryn told Dave he would have to be the one to explain the fishing trip in order to prove he truly loved Gwen.

“From what I was told, it was cold. The tent was up and the sun was down. The fire was blazing,” he began to explain. “And the soup was bubbling in the billy can…”

But in true Gavin and Stacey fashion, he was interrupted by the smoke alarm going off over a burning omelette.

And so, plenty of fans spent the end of their Christmas day fuming they were still in the dark.

Wilfort explained at a cast Q&A that’s exactly the way it should be.

"I'd like to say now and forever: the joke has always been you don't find out what happens on the fishing trip!” he said.

“I'm sorry, everybody, but that has always been the joke, and it always will be because it's funny. It's funnier that way. And I was so pleased that we didn't reveal it, because we've never known what it is."

Well, may the theories over Jason and Uncle Bryn’s mysterious fishing trips live on, even if there’s no more Gavin and Stacey ever again.
