Couldn't see what's funny about it, gave up after 5 minutes.
Bit cringey

It was amazing! If you haven’t watched it before it’s not going to have the same feeling.

Will Smithy say yes to Nessa?!

If they air a surprise series 4 after this, it will be worth it.

If not, meh 😕

twas awful

Mrsmadevans · 25/12/2019 21:48

Loved it so much, it was magic

user32564567 · 25/12/2019 21:48

I loved it.

bowchicawowwow · 25/12/2019 21:49

Loved it. Took about 15 mins to get going in my opinion but by the end I was totally absorbed Smile

I LOVED it!

Ithinkwerealonenowtiffany · 25/12/2019 21:50

Well I loved it!

SometimesItRains · 25/12/2019 21:51

Agree it took a little bit to get going, but I enjoyed it

Babybel90 · 25/12/2019 21:51

First of all

Aww, what has Julia Davis done to her face

^this

Bits were good and bits weren’t so good but you definitely have to watch the first series to ‘get it’.

We binge watched them all last week to be prepared for this and unfortunately it doesn’t quite match up to the earlier ones.

And that ending, they’re clearly angling for another series!

TeachesOfPeaches · 25/12/2019 21:52

Was just watching Nighty Night which was on in 2005 and Dawn looks younger in Gavin and Stacey than that show! Must've had a lot of work done.

Thought Sonya was a good addition to show how strange the lot of them are. Loved the ending and would watch more if I could !

UncleHerbie · 25/12/2019 21:52

Bang tidy!

TitsInAbsentia · 25/12/2019 21:53

Well it wasn't THE best but it certainly brightened up an otherwise dull christmas day in this house!

LoveNote · 25/12/2019 21:53

It’s just light entertainment not supposed to be Oscar worthy

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 25/12/2019 21:53

Series 1-3 were so slick, they were brilliantly written and acted with fantastic interaction from all the characters. I'm so disappointed. :(

Junie70 · 25/12/2019 21:55

Bloody cracking.

We all loved it.

thickwoollytights · 25/12/2019 21:55

Sonia represented everyone who has never before seen Gavin and Stacey

Exactly - it's definitely not a stand alone.

I've seen it many many times and I didn't like todays show. Forced. Poor acting. Botox and some 😳😳 I so so so wanted to love it. Very poor imo

Amanduh · 25/12/2019 21:55

I’ve seen it before.
I know the backstory.
It’s still shit

oldmum22 · 25/12/2019 21:56

Fantastic episode . Really enjoyed it . Hope there will be another series

VanyaHargreeves · 25/12/2019 21:56

Are they going to follow up

I mean, she's just proposed

Where's Part 2

😂

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 25/12/2019 21:56

I absolutely loved it. Agree that it wouldn't make a lot of sense if it's your first time ever seeing it.

Never wanted it to end.

PuppyMonkey · 25/12/2019 21:58

Thought it started off a bit slow but it really picked up. Enjoyed it.

MyOtherProfile · 25/12/2019 21:58

We all loved it. Great to have everyone back and revisit old jokes. Not totally convinced by the ending but loved the rest. Kind of don't want a follow up.

Sonia represented everyone who has never before seen Gavin and Stacey
Spot on.

whiteroseredrose · 25/12/2019 21:59

We loved it!
