Gavin and Stacey - first time I've watched it! No spoilers please!

[BurntBroccoli]

I'm not sure why I never watched this back in 2007, but have finally started watching this evening!
Up to the one where they just got married.

Smithy is a horrible character but I love, love, love Nessa!

Parts of Barry are very cheap.

My uncle and aunt attended the wedding!

What! You can’t just drop something like that and waltz off into the sunset. Tell us everything.

I've just binged watched them all. Bryn had a lot more hair in 2019 than in the 3 series 😂
So ready for Christmas day!

Tidy!

It isn’t Barry.
It’s Barry’s Island.
Oh my Christ.

Yeah me too 🤣

Stacey Spacey 😂

I just had a quick look on Rightmove and it's nearly all new builds. The place must have changed a lot since I was last there pre Gavin and Stacey.

Bryn’s house was on sale 18 months ago at £212k.

10 years ago Gwen’s house was £125k.

I have so many feelings about these pictures 😁

Ooh 10 minutes till the Christmas special.
Looking forward to this so much! 😁

What did you think?

Just caught up on the Xmas special. Cried all the way through. DH, who doesn’t like it and was going to go out, watched it and loved it too.

I enjoyed it (more than the other one) but I didn't shed a tear. I must have a heart of stone?

I did find it poignant though when the 'boys' were in the club with the foam machine and realised how much time had passed and how old they were. That was really well done.

Dawn and Pete got on my nerves. I quite liked them before but their characters are self-absorbed attention-seekers - and it gets tired very quickly.

Oh I loved it and blubbed in places such as Neil the baby's beautiful song.

It was tidy!

As always it was both funny and poignant at the same time. I loved the juxtaposition of Sonia's expensive, Instagrammable but ultimately loveless wedding Vs Ness's casual, cheap but love filled wedding.

Such an astute observation on today's social media fixation on having the Perfect Wedding Day, rather than ensuring you will have a happy marriage.

I loved the way all of her friends were on their phones all the time.

Just watched - loved it . Especially Micks speech gutted it's over now but it ended brilliantly

I thought it was absolutely brilliant, and yes, give me a small but full of love wedding over the instagrammable one that everyone is on their phones at too.

"I do want a corn on the cob" - not about sex really at all

"Mick?"

One of my favourite lines was Dave Coaches calling the sainted Gwen ....... ... 'Sugar-tits'

There’s a documentary on iplayer about the making of the finale - It was lovely. Next week there’s a final look back episode too.

Ooh is there 😊

Just watched it. It took some finding, for some reason it’s on BBC News.

Thanks for this- I saw your post and watched it last night- very fun as they tried to give nothing away!

Am looking forward to the look back, too.
