Essex and Wales collide when Gavin and Stacey fall in love and bring their friends, family and luggage with them. Apart from the scenes filmed in London in the first episode, the entire series was filmed in Wales, including the scenes set in Essex. The house that served as the Shipmans’ House (Gavin’s family) is located in Dinas Powys, a village 1 mile northwest of Barry, where the Wests (Stacey’s family) live. In series 3, both Bryn and Gavin’s cars have completely different registration numbers than in previous series. Gavin’s blue Saxo has changed from T-reg (MR 1999) to X-reg (MR 2000). Bryn’s green Picasso has changed from CV02 (MR 2002, registered in Cardiff) to HV54 (MR 2004, registered in Portsmouth). They are clearly different cars. It is featured in Gavin & Stacey: Outtakes (2007). RunBy Stephen Fretwell Starring Stephen Fretwell. Absolutely brilliant comedy, top notch acting and the writing is incredible. This is truly one of the best comedy series I have seen in years. Following the relationship between Gavin (Matthew Horne: Teachers and Catherine Tate) and Stacey (Joanna Page) from their initial flirtation on the phone, through their wedding day and later into married life, this show is cleverly written by James Corden and Ruth Jones who also star as Gavin and Stacey’s best friends Smithy and Nessa (who completely stole the show in my opinion.) Those who gave this show a poor rating clearly have no sense of humour and fail to appreciate decent comedy!
