Yes, we know it's the only thing going be worth watching on TV over Xmas but I am sick & tired of the relentless promotion of this on the BBC at the moment.

I literally cannot switch on the radio or TV without hearing or seeing trailers, promos and interviews with the key protagonists.

Please Make It Stop.

ballsdeep · 21/12/2019 09:11

Or are you the person from itv who turned gavin and Stacey down?

CaptainMyCaptain · 21/12/2019 09:13

We're all really looking forward to it.

Aderyn19 · 21/12/2019 09:14

You are fed up with talk about G&S so you start a thread about it - you didn't really think that through Grin
People really loved the original and want to see what happened to their favourite characters.
I'm worried I'll be disappointed though - the clips I've see so far don't look good.

NewName73 · 21/12/2019 09:14

I'm not objecting to the programme, just the endless promotion ....

Ness being interviewed on R4 at the moment, they were on Graham Norton last night, endless trailers on the radio ...

This thread and one advert about two weeks ago is the only promotion I've seen. Quite grateful you reminded me though I'm looking forward to seeing it!

Pfefferkuchen · 21/12/2019 09:16

well, seeing that you are the one who is promoting them on here by starting a thread...

I agree OP. It's fucking tedious.

People are acting like it's the second coming.

It's just a programme. I used to like it, but I now cannot bear James Corden so won't be watching.

fligglepige · 21/12/2019 09:18

I've never seen an episode of Gavin and Stacey and normally I watch any auld shite!

NewName73 · 21/12/2019 09:18

Thanks Vibez.

It also feels like it is the ONLY TV programme on over Xmas.

So you don't want to see anymore G&S trailers but lets talk about it Xmas Confused personally every time I see the trailer I squeak a little bit soo excited Xmas Smile

The80sweregreat · 21/12/2019 09:23

Your getting flamed but I agree the promotions for it have been a bit much.
I wasn't a huge fan the first time around although I did enjoy the last Christmas special. I fear this one will just be in ' reunion mode' and a weak story. I bought the special tv listings mag a while back and it is the only thing worth watching on most channels though ; most tv over Christmas on the normal channels this year is pretty disappointing!!

DearTeddyRobinson · 21/12/2019 09:24

I've never watched Gavin and Stacey. I think it looks crap

ChristmasCroissant · 21/12/2019 09:27

They are pushing it heavily, it had better be good after all this!

The80sweregreat · 21/12/2019 09:30

I wonder what they will do once it's aired?
(Nothing , apart from Eastenders I guess!)
Tv this year is pretty dire. Have to see what's on Netflix.

CakeandCustard28 · 21/12/2019 09:32

I love Gavin and Stacey and I’ll be watching it but I’m the same. After all the promos etc. You basically know the entire plot, seems a shame!

Mrsjayy · 21/12/2019 09:37

I never thought of it not being good Xmas Sad

CathyorClaire · 21/12/2019 09:39

Oh Grin

Can't say I've noticed the trailers but I only watch auntie for the news and The Apprentice. Will catch up on this but doubt I'll make a point of seeing it on the day.

Sparklybaublefest · 21/12/2019 09:40

she was promoting it on radio 4?

wow
well it is 10 years since the last one, so pretty exciting.

Oliversmumsarmy · 21/12/2019 09:42

I have watched a couple of episodes and just found it cringy

Moooooooooooooooooo · 21/12/2019 09:42

I enjoyed watching Gavin and Stacey when it was on previously But you’re right, it’s overload now. So much so it’s put me off and I don’t want to watch it. I bet it’s a load of shit, why else do they need to advertise it so much.
