A Gavin and Stacey star has admitted he felt "relief" when the series came to an end.
Larry Lamb opened up about how playing Mick Shipman on the hit sitcom changed his personality and was the "most extraordinary experience" of his life.
The 77-year-old actor spoke about the influences and adventures that led to his performing career spanning more than four decades.
"Now that it's all done, there's a sense of relief and a sense of contentment," he told Kate Thornton on her podcast, White Wine Question Time, released on Friday.
But he did not rule out revisiting Mick in a potential Gavin and Stacey film: "Who knows? Never say never."
During the episode, Lamb – who speaks five languages and worked in selling encyclopaedias and in the energy industry before embarking on acting – opened up about everything from his "difficult and unhappy" childhood, to his most recent endeavor of writing his debut novel.
Gavin and Stacey, which was co-written by Ruth Jones and James Corden and began in 2007, followed the story of a girl from south Wales and a boy from Essex who fell in love, and the ups and downs of their worlds colliding.
The series officially ended with a grand finale Christmas Day episode last year.
"It was the most extraordinary experience of my life, going through the whole of that and then, particularly, that end. It was just amazing," said Lamb, who played Gavin's father Mick.
"I was never convinced that it was going to be the end [but] now that it's all done… I feel no frustration about wanting to go on with it."
