However, when watching, some realised a continuity error as the level of Mick’s pint glass changed from full, to half-full, and was then topped up again. Who else noticed Mick’s pint😂😂 #gavinandstacey #fyp. Sharing a clip of the scene on TikTok, one viewer captioned the post ‘Who else noticed Mick’s pint?’.

‘I noticed this on the night! Hahaha,’ Kieren commented. ‘Mick showing he can still drink the younger blokes under the table,’ Adam quipped. ‘Thirsty lad,’ Minisparkz0 joked. Meanwhile Sarah also commented: ‘Continuity errors are so irritating because you can’t unsee them.’.
Before the episode aired, Gavin and Stacey’s co-creator Ruth Jones admitted she’d noticed an error in the last Christmas special too. ‘I watched the 2019 Christmas special the other night and I noticed a glaring continuity error. You know Pam leaves the Christmas puddings behind and forgets to take them because they have been otherwise occupied and they are mortified?’ she told Magic Radio.
