Customer Reviews

Tidy!
Very rarely does a show come along that is at such high quality as the excellent `Gavin & Stacey'. I never watched it when it was on TV but after hearing all of the word-of-mouth hype surrounding it and seeing that it had won some awards, I thought it was time to give it a go and so I purchased the series 1 and 2 boxset and I must say it is probably the best £18 I've spent on a DVD in a long time!

The story is fairly straight-forward - Gavin lives in Essex and Stacey lives in Barry, they talk every day at work on the phone and then after months of getting to know one another they decide to meet. Gavin takes along his best friend Smithy while Stacey takes hers, Vanessa. They get on perfectly and so starts the show. Throughout the 2 series all of the brilliant characters evolve and you'll feel like you really know them by the end of it all. I got so addicted to this show that I actually watched all 13 episodes (plus the Christmas Special that my friend had recorded) in just 3 nights and could easily watch it all again already - it is so good!

This show is heart-warming, sad, sweet, and very funny. I can't recommend this highly enough - all I can say is watch it as soon as possible! I just can't wait for series 3 now!

So much more than a comedy!
When i first sat down to watch Gavin and Stacey i was expecting an average comedy to pass the time, there are a large number of very poor so called comedies on television however Gavin and Stacey is so much more than trash tv.

I honestly didn't find the show to be a laugh a minute, there are a large number of painfully funny moments throughout both series but ultimately they are few and far between. The reason this show managed ot drag 5 stars out of me is the quality of the writing, the characters and the actors all of whom are superb. It is actually an intriguing drama-comedy more than a typical sitcom like friends for example, the end of each episode left me wanting to know more.

The love story is incredibly sweet and sugary without actually becoming sickening and the parents of both Gavin and Stacey can probably be related to by most people. Nessa and Smithy have to be my favourite characters and there are some stunning catchphrases you will be able to pluck from these two.

As for the comedy moments, they are superb and had me howling! Smithy in particular is the kind of friend i would love to have, challenging but essential! However for me what won me over was the sense of satisfaction that i had watched something more than i was expecting, which has been a long time coming... but most of all it's British!!! Be proud!!

10/10

I won't lie to you..There's much occurin' in this show
one of the Beebs most hilarious comedies in years,sketch shows killed the genre and Ruth Jones and James Corden have resurrected the genre.
i haven't been this enthralled with a comedy since The Vicar Of Dibley or the Catherine Tate Show...and now i think this is certainly one of the greatest shows of its kind and one of the best British shows ever to hit the lil' telly.
the characters here are so basic that everyone can relate to the clans from Bellarickay and Barry Island (not Barry's Island as it doesn't belong to a chap named Barry).
the humour is at the top of its game every single week right up to the recent Christmas special which will hopefully soon get its release.
this is a genuinly crowd pleasing show and is a heartwarming treat upon every view...i wish it all the success in its future,James Corden and Ruth Jones are extremely talented and well credited to come up with this masterpiece of comedy.
but the highlight of the show has to be Uncle Bryn wonderfully portrayed by Rob Brydon,he was made for the role.
i recommend Gavin and Stacey to everyone.
