Anyone else not seen Gavin & Stacy?

Or is it Stacey. I don’t even know what this show is about, who is in it, when it started, or why it seems to be such a big deal. I’m not interested enough to Google and I’ve only seen it mentioned (numerous times) on MN. I feel slightly out of the loop but too disinterested to do anything further about it than writing this post.

Ahh this thread reminds me of the Facebook memes about Game Of Thrones.

"I've never watched a single episode, how many others can make this claim?"

Errrrm ok 🤷‍♂️

Yeah it's so weird how people feel the need to post threads about how they have never watched a particular popular mainstream show! 😆 Game Of Thrones, Friends, Gavin and Stacey etc.. WE DON'T CARE you muppets! 😂

I have never EVER posted a thread about something I have never watched/don't watch that many others seem to like ... Eg I CBA with football, and neither can my DH, but we don't bang on (online) about how we never watch football, and how boring we think it is, and how we don't GET how people are such big fans. Why would we?! 😆

There's always an air of superiority and snobbery (from some) on this type of thread. 'Oh I don't watch this like everyone else does, I'm soooo youneeeek! And speshul!

Nobody cares, seriously - NOBODY!

100% this. ^

It’s even more dreary to complain on a thread about how dreary it is to make the thread, multiple times 😆

I’ve watched bits and pieces over the years but don’t really get the hype. Watched the finale and it’s clearly in comedy drama territory now, hardly laugh a minute. I think the writing and casting is good. I get bored of things I actually like so was never going to be too impressed with it.

Never seen it and no desire to.

Same here. Other family have, and enjoy it, but it's just not my thing.

I’m not putting down the show, not sure why people are getting so offended! It just struck me that this show seems to be a cultural phenomenon that I have zero idea about in the slightest (more now though thanks to this thread). I pretty much live under a rock.

You are rather worked up about people posting to say they've never watched a particular show, yet here you are posting to tell us all about something you've never done either.

Oh the irony 😂

TheTecknician · 28/12/2024 11:02

I've never watched it. Nor have I ever seen Wallace and Gromit. I have seen Mrs Brown's Boys once - years ago and never again. In the last week I have become very weary with hearing about all three programmes like they were the Second Coming.

Don’t put Wallace and Gromit in the same paragraph as Mrs Browns Boys! Shock

AnyoneSomeone · 28/12/2024 11:26

Are we playing 'I have never'?

No-one is getting offended. Don't flatter yourself. 🙄

Most of us just think it's bizarre to post a thread banging on about how you have never watched a hugely popular mainstream TV show.

Us Gavin and Stacey fans literally do not give a shit if you watch it, and find your thread pointless and arrogant.

bumblefeline · 28/12/2024 11:26

Never seen it as never been keen on James Corden, but I'm sure I watch stuff that other people have never watched either. We are all different.

mitogoshigg · 28/12/2024 11:27

Not me, never watched it. To eaches own.

Stop posting such utter nonsense.

I have never started a thread telling everyone about how I have never watched something (that many others watch) because I DON'T LIKE IT or don't fancy it. (which is what I was talking about.) And I was giving an brief example of it, and how ridiculous it would be!

But you knew that didn't you? Wink You just wanted to have a little jab at me!

Did it make you feel good... a little dopamine hit for ya? Awww bless. Grin

No, not once.

Cynic17 · 28/12/2024 11:32

Me. Never watched any of it, so it seemed pointless to watch the last one!

DarkAndTwisties · 28/12/2024 11:33

I don’t even know what this show is about, who is in it, when it started, or why it seems to be such a big deal.

It's just a popular tv show you don't watch. Surely there are lots? I know there are lots I don't watch and that I don't know much about.

AmusedMaker · 28/12/2024 11:35

Never watched it.
To me, Alison Steadman will always be Beverley in Abigail’s party. ( showing my age there )

Never seen ‘call the midwife’ either:
Glad I got that off my chest.

Exactly this. ^ If you're not interested then don't watch it FGS. You don't need to advertise to the world that you are not interested in watching something that millions of others like. Such a silly, pointless thread. 🙄

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 28/12/2024 11:36

Never watched it either.

OfMiceandWomen · 28/12/2024 11:38

We should all make a long list of tv programs we have never watched
Mumsnet would probably self implode with the amount of information it receives 😀

Aha this explains it for me too. Never seen it, also was a SAHM at the time so never would have had that 'office chat'where everyone is watching the same thing.

Me three. So, I started to watch it last week. Gave it 4 episodes. Not for me.
