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

Naturally Funny
The whole basis of Gavin and Stacey is very simple but the script, characters and comic timing make it a classic. Like all good comedies every character has a part to play and each is so realistic that you feel that you know them from somewhere. Above all Rob Brydon is pure comic genius.

Superb
Somehow I had managed to totally miss out on G&S when it was on TV. I had heard that it was good but never actually caught a single episode.

So I got this DVD - and I was instantly hooked and ended up watching all 6 episodes back to back in a single sitting. It is stunning - well written, great characters, great actors (Rob Brydon is a genius) and life-affirming charming.

I haven't been so bowled over by a British comedy so since Phoenix Nights or Spaced.

I'm now off to get the DVD of the second series.

Vey Good
A really sweet, light comedy. The acting is very good and there is lots of laughs to be had. Rob Brydon is on top form as always as is Matthew Horne and Joanna Page. However the two actors who shine the most are Ruth Jones as the gothic, sarcastic 'Nessa' and James Corden as the bloke's bloke 'Smithy'.

A very good show that will make you smile.
