Anyone else not seen Gavin & Stacy?

[CatToots]

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.

Never seen it. Can’t stand Corden or the other bloke. My BIL is a London cabbie and he said they’re the biggest pair of arseholes he’s ever had in the cab

I've saw clips and memes of the "what's occurring" character, and she irritated me on sight - in that way where some characters you warm to, and others you have an immediate adverse reaction to 😂 So no, I've watched not a minute.

@AmusedMaker - yes Alison Steadman is brilliant as Beverley but also superlative as Candace-Marie in Nuts in May ( a Play for Today available on line still ). Also showing my age.

Ooh let's do lists!

I haven't watched Gavin and Stacey as not fond of sitcoms although I thought The Office was so accurate it was excruciating.

Also never seen

Game of Thrones
Strictly come dancing
I am a celebrity
Happy Valley
Gentleman Jack
Friends
Anything involving sport

I do like some Netflix trash telly though

Queer Eye
Selling Sunset
Beneath the deck - last two so bad they're funny.

Happy Valley is a masterpiece! I’m envious you’ve still got it all to enjoy if you wanted to x

We could fill this thread with programmes we have never seen,

Bridgerton

It's on a par with Mrs Brown's Boys, as comedy goes...

I've never seen it either

Bridgerton
Friends
Call the Midwife
Outnumbered
Pointless
Game of Thrones
The One Show
Life on Mars

That doesn't make anyone an expert though.

The loudest anti DM vessels on MN seem to know about every story in it at any given time.

Yet they would never apparently lower themselves enough to read it

Happy Valley
Game of Thrones
MAFS

Don't have a go at people. It's Christmas. It's an open forum. People can post what they like.

People can answer how they like.

Never seen it i dont have tv and i dont want to see it.
Cant stand sopes either load of crap i really dont get the hype.

i haven't seen any episodes of Gavin and Stacey - yet. I might get round to a binge watch one of these days.

I am exactly the same. Haven't got a clue and can't be bothered to find out.

I don't see the point of your post? 12 million people watched meaning circa 60 million didn't. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nope and it’s definitely not on my list to 😅

"competitive disinterest" is my new favourite phrase!

Gavin & Stacey appeals to many as it was character-driven, as was Friends. People get to know the characters and are interested in what's happened to them (Outnumbered is another example).

Watching one episode is never going to show you why people enjoy these shows.

I thought I'd hate Friends, as I'm not a fan of US comedy on the whole, but watched one or two episodes and got hooked. Starting to watch it now wouldn't work, as times have changed so much.

So please stop criticising programmes that millions love to watch. With the exception of Mrs Brown's Boys obviously 😂

You're interested enough to start a conversation about how uninterested in it you are, even pretending to not know how to spell it. Is it fomo?

My DH took against the guy who plays Gavin as he once pushed past us really rudely in the street during the Edinburgh Fringe and then gave us a dirty look! Never watched it anyway, tbf.

I used to like Corden when he was in this 90s mockumentary about a boy band (written by Lucas, Walliams and Richard Osman). It’s been downhill since then.

I watched 10 mins once then turned it off as definitely not my thing. No idea what all the fuss is about.

@FuckItItsFine Yeh I can believe that. Total bellend x

Never seen a single episode of it.

Agree OP.
Plus not a Corden fan.

Never seen it, but I might binge watch it at some point when I have got through my current list.
