Gavin and Stacey writer and star James Corden says he's "very sad" as the cast prepare for the third and final series of the hit TV show.
Rehearsals commence on 8 June, with filming starting on 15 June.
Corden, who plays Neil 'Smithy' Smith, in the show said: "It's an emotional time because we're saying goodbye to these characters that we love.
"So the whole thing is very sad and I just hope it can be as good as possible."
However, 31-year-old Corden did not rule out working with co-writer Ruth Jones following the series' conclusion.
He added: "You know, when we wrote the words, 'This really is the end, the end', we were both a bit welled up and we looked at each other and we were sure that's it. I just hope it's good enough.
"Ruth and I, we'd like to write something else again but we're inevitably not going to spend as much time locked in a room together."
Hollywood bound
The comedian and actor is also starring in the Hollywood production of Jonathan Swift's book Gulliver's Travels, alongside Jack Black and Emily Blunt.
"I play a character called Jinks. I just pop up throughout it," said Corden. "I'm the king's assistant and the king is played by Billy Connolly so essentially it's the best job in the world, I get to hang around with him all day.
"My trailer is the same size as it is on Gavin and Stacey. The only difference is I have to walk further to get to it," he joked.
"I have to walk past bigger trailers to get to my little rabbit hutch in the corner. I can't tell you how true that is."
The final series of Gavin and Stacey is yet to have a confirmed transmission date.
