Question re final scene


There have been rumours that the actors had to take a drink to calm their nerves for the filming of the ending which I always discounted as these things can take days to film.However I read recently that the last show was indeed done in one go.
What is the truth on this one?

the trivia said that they did it in one take infront of 400 extras

As the finale was filming, the actors performed the entire strip routine in front of the crowd - the only time that they went 'the full monty'. To counter understandable nerves, all the actors had enough to drink beforehand to make them at least slightly drunk. Some got a bit carried away and were very inebriated, for example, when Gaz kisses Nathe, it was not scripted (look at Nathe's face), but was carried out because Carlyle was drunk.
