This is because he bagged a role in the show. After 17 years of waiting, we finally got to learn the outcome of Smithy (James Corden) and Nessa's (Ruth Jones) love story, and it certainly didn't disappoint. It was all the more special for Scott McGlynn, 37, who was an extra in the unforgettable episode, and he said the experience was like no other. It's clear his time with the cast will always hold a special place in his heart, and he looks back on the time fondly. Who could forget working with Nessa, after all? As the Welsh sitcom is nominated at the TV Baftas on May 11, it seems like the perfect time to take a trip down memory lane. Scott revealed exactly what it was like to work with the cast during the last ever episode. The actor actually grew up in Barry Island (Image: scottmcglynnofficial/Instagram ) Article continues below Scott said: "It was incredible to work with so much talent - the creativity in the room was a buzz and you could feel it. Joanna Page was just a sweetheart going around being so kind and complimenting everyone's outfits. "I was with Russell Tovey, which was insane to even stand next to him. He's an incredible actor, and I've been watching him since I was a teenager. It was great - emotional moments too. "We celebrated Ruth's birthday on set, which was lovely to be a part of. She was feeding me the cake." Earlier this year, fans couldn't get over the fact that the The Finale didn't receive many nominations for the Bafta TV Awards, even though the episode pulled in a record 19.3million viewers. Following much hype, the much-loved BBC comedy saw Ruth Jones, 58, nominated for her performance of "Nessa" in a comedy category. As well as this, the show has also been nominated in the publicly-voted Memorable Moment category. Gavin and Stacey came to an end last year (Image: BBC ) Viewers praised Mick (Larry Lamb) during the moment he stood up to show he thought it was an awful idea for Smithy to marry Sonia (Laura Aikman). The moment had comedy viewers in tears on Christmas Day last year. Even though the sitcom only receieved two nominations at the big bash, Gavin & Stacey fans are keeping their fingers crossed for the cast. As for Scott, he's just delighted he got to be a part of the show - for a very special reason. Describing what it was like to be a part of the final ever episode, Scott added: "Being a part of Gavin and Stacey was incredibly special to me, especially because I grew up in Barry. My dad was a huge fan of the show too - he loved everything about it. Article continues below "Sadly, we lost him suddenly last year - a few months before filming, and getting the chance to be a part of the Christmas special felt like I was doing it for him. He would've been so proud. "It was surreal to step onto a set with iconic characters who I grew up with since the first episode - it was giving me family vibes on set. It was an emotional and unforgettable experience for everyone creating this amazing episode."
