I've only caught the odd episode of Gavin and Stacey when it was originally on but now dh and I are watching it from the start on Netflix.

It's bloody brilliant! Love Nessa and Bryn.

Anyone else a fan?

Stella is hilarious - not as cute and light hearted but it has its own charm

happymummy12345 · 30/09/2018 21:46

I love it

Brilliant show, one of my absolute favourites. I love the relationship between Smithy and Rudy... reminds me so much of my siblings when we were younger!

The title characters are the least interesting for me, which I know is odd, but although they are the reason for the show, it's all the supporting characters I watch it over and over again for. Especially Nessa and Pam and Mick. Oh, and Doris, and Dave, and Dawn and Peter and...

I found Stella a challenge to get into but once I did it's actually quite funny but just in a different way. And once Patrick Baladis character was in it I loved it even more so ♥️😀

Stella is amazing!!! Different vibe to G&S but made me laugh and cry and the characters are amazing!!!

I love Stella and gavin and Stacey. I long to know what happened on the fishing trip!!
We visited Barry island last year on holiday. It was a shine to g&s. Especially if you wanted a nessa tea towel 😂

I'm from Barry and I don't find it accurate, the accents are appalling (bar Dave Coaches who is spot on), but it's great seeing "home" on TV and the whole thing is genius.

sprinkleofsunshine · 30/09/2018 22:27

Love it, great programme!

Dancingfairydreams · 30/09/2018 22:30

Love it! Watched originally when living in London & then rewatched after moving to Cardiff....felt a little foolish when I started to recognise Essex was actually all Cardiff/Barry 😂😂😂😂

Themidnightcircus · 30/09/2018 22:32

Love it. My only thing is that in the Christmas special Smithy is buying underwear for Lucy. And then later he says at dinner that he when he and Lucy were together he'd go to hers for Xmas dinner.
.
...
So was he buying her underwear in a creepy ex boyfriend wat?!! I need to know!

Dh says I’m a bit like Pam, not sure whether that’s a compliment or not....

I love G&S. Every time I'm on here I want to channel Nessa and say, "Oy, poster, stop being a twat."

BackforGood · 30/09/2018 22:46

It was funny. Sooooooooo many things to quote Grin

Haworthia · 30/09/2018 22:54

I love all the Essex nicknames - Dirtbox, Fingers, Chinese Alan, Japanese Margaret, Big Fat Sue...

liv4357 · 30/09/2018 23:45

Love Gavin and Stacey, the Christmas special is brilliant. The characters just work and fit together so well. Love smithy and brynn, when smithy tells nessa not to Marry Dave coaches while there in the garden, tugs at my heart strings every time

Justgivemeasoddingname · 30/09/2018 23:58

Oh just love it. A friend bough me the box set- if never seen it before. My dh works away so when he'd come home we'd watch 2 or e episodes a night. Or 4....Could watch all night.

Doris next door when she's had her toy boy- so funny. The indian takeaway- dh and i always explain with hand gestures that we'll share and have a bit of each other's. Dawn and Pete....hilarious.
But I just love Pam and Mick!! I aspire to be them when dh and I are older Grin

All you G&S fans might also like “Stella”. Also set in S Wales, written by and staring Ruth Jones. Different characters, different story, similar humour. It was on Sky1, but I got it from Amazon Prime and DVDs.

OoohSmooch · 01/10/2018 08:40

I love love love G&S. I watch is about 4 times per year. I love the awkwardness, Pam is the best character!

alifromtheforest · 01/10/2018 09:16

"I don't have my tools....my cloak...."

I'm sure that's not the exact phrase but I cried laughing the first time I heard and it still makes me giggle now. Best line ever!!!!

Love the stare off between Stacey and an ex friend in the chemist. "Ang on gav"

PinguDance · 01/10/2018 17:59

I love all the random famous people Ness and Stacey met - like Kevin Spacey 😂 Also John Prescott making that cameo was brilliant.

Dancergirl · 01/10/2018 18:30

Love the bit in the Christmas special where Ness has wrapped up individual Celebrations as presents and Gwen being disappointed with Bounty Grin
