Gavin and Stacey is a sitcom written by James Corden and Ruth Jones (who also both star in the show). The premise of the show is that Essex boy Gavin and Welsh gal Stacey work for the same company (but in their respective towns) and have built up a relationship over the phone. They decide to meet and from there they fall in love and decide to get married. The two series' of G&S follow their relationship and how they struggle with the distance between their home towns, as well as the interference from their friends and family. Although Gavin and Stacey are the title characters, to my mind it is Nessa (Ruth Jones) and Uncle Bryn (Rob Brydon) who steal the ...  Read the complete review

Gavin and Stacey first caught my attention a couple of months ago - i'm not sure if it is the welsh accent or smithy but i just can't seem to watch enough of it. It makes me laugh until my ribs hurt - which doesn't happen very often. Many peogrammes try to be funny and i may think it is but this is one of a few that makes me laugh out loud. It is really worth a watch. The one liners that they come out with are soo funny and the relationship between Gavin and Smithy is heart warming. The dynamics of the different charachters is very cleaver and adds to the comical impact. At the moment it seems that the two main charachters are everywhere and may ...  Read the complete review
