DVD Description
Link text This BBC comedy sitcom Gavin and Stacey features a romantic, off-beat, boy-meets-girl story.

Gavin is an ordinary boy from England, Stacey is an ordinary girl from Wales. They speak every day on the phone at work, and yet they've never met... until now. But when Gavin and Stacey finally meet and their ordinary worlds come together, we see, through their families, their friends and their differences, that there's no such thing as 'ordinary' after all.

Written by and starring Ruth Jones (Nighty Night, Little Britain) and James Corden (The History Boys), the series also features Mathew Horne (Catherine Tate, Roman's Empire), Joanna Page (Gideon's Daughter, Love Actually), Rob Brydon, Alison Steadman, Larry Lamb and Melanie Walters.

This DVD features all the episodes in Series 1 originally aired on BBC 3.

Synopsis
Sitcom featuring an English guy and a girl from Wales. After speaking on the phone at work every day, Gavin and Stacey meet and soon discover that despite their obvious differences, they share a lot in common.

Customer Reviews

Big disappointment
I have recently discovered modern British comedy, and I am a HUGE fan of comedies like Shameless, Phoenix Nights, Max and Paddy's road to nowhere, Extras and The office. This comedy was recommended to me based on my opinion on Shameless, which I think is the best TV-show ever. However, "Gavin and Stacey" doesn't even get close to any of the shows mentioned. To me, it seems "stiff", very "acted" and WAAY to sweet. The character Nessa is a bit funny, and rescues it from being a complete disaster, but in general I find the rest of the cast quite boring or even repulsive. (Couldn't stand the smiley doll Stacey.)I was very disappointed.

Very fuuny the best thing on bbc 3...
This really is worth buying, it's so funny it's the best thing on bbc 3 "i want lie to you" all the cast just fit so well and they all have there own part in this great show, these only one down side and that there only making a christmas speacil and not a 3rd.

"Fags and weed, glue and speed, but I draws the line at crack!"
Essex lad Gavin (Matthew Horne) falls in love with Welsh sweetheart Stacey (Joanna Page) after a brief work related telephone relationship. Stacey and her sarcastic chain smoking mate Nessa (writer Ruth Jones) head to London to meet Gavin and his fat mate Smithy (writer James Corden).

Gavin and Stacey was actually a surprising joy when I eventually got around to watching it two years after everyone else as usual. I hate romantic comedies and anything twee but I found G&S quite sweet in a very amusing way. Gavin & Stacey themselves are a bit wet and the shows funniest characters are support. Jones is very funny as Nessa and Rob Brydon's Uncle Bryn raises a few laughs but the real star of the show is Smithy. Corden's drunken, foul mouthed everyman comes out with some genius lines ("Have you got any johnnies? I ain't going in there bareback!") and his drunken quiz hosting skills remind me of my local.
