Alicia I love this movie so much

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Dave This BBC romantic sitcom is about the long-distance relationship between Gavin (from Billericay, Essex) and Stacey (from Barry, South Wales).This is a very good idea for a sitcom, but I didn't enjoy watching it. I continued only because many people had claimed that it gets better. I don't know why this sitcom became massively popular. The vast majority of the characters are dull (such as Gavin), annoying (such as Stacey) or obnoxious (such as Gavin's best friend Smithy and Stacey's best friend Nessa). None of them are likable. Smithy is the sort of arrogant loudmouth that many of us have had the misfortune of meeting. He has no respect for personal boundaries and thinks he's 'the king of banter' - but is actually a loud and overbearing idiot.Nessa (a poor, fat, plain woman) frequently boasts about all the wonderful adventures she's had and the celebrities she's known - and no-one challenges her on any of it.
studioAT This show was huge back in the day. It was one of those shows buried away on the smaller BBC channels, became a hit and then got bumped up to BBC 1 purely based on the public's love of it. It was the same with Miranda.Only difference is that Miranda was funny. This show tries to be a modern 'Just Good Friends' and fails miserably. It has it's moments, don't get me wrong, but I highly doubt it will last the test of time as a classic sitcom.The only saving grace is James Corden, a funny man who quite rightly has gone onto bigger and better things, albeit sadly in the US. His charm and timing make this show in places, and his subsequent success is not a surprise.People love this show, and that's fair enough, I'm just not one of them.
Syl A great cast brings the story of a Welsh young woman, Stacey, and an Essex young man, Gavin, into a lovely realistic romance. The cast are first rate with Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman playing Gavin's parents. I adore Steadman as Pam. Melanie Walters does a great job as Stacey's widowed mother. The first season is about their first meeting to their wedding day. Along the out of studio and audience, there are plenty of laughs especially with the creators and writers, James Cordern and Ruth Jones, who play pals, Smithy and Nessa. I adore Ruth Jones who plays the role and steals every scene. I would watch a show around Ruth Jones talent every day. Both Jones and Stacey (played by Joanna Page) are Welsh which adds to the authenticity to the show's success. It's realistic and believable about two families from different parts of the country getting together to celebrate a couple's love and determination to stay together.
cneidel I must say that I have really started to like British Comedy. Gavin and Stacey has become my second favorite show behind the IT Crowd. I love some American shows like Seinfeld and All in the Family, but love watching and learning about the different cultures of British television. I just don't understand the 6 episodes per year for 3 years thing. I really need more of Gavin and Stacey as I'm just starting to really love it and it is already over. So much talent, character development, and plot only to be cut short by about 100 episodes. The show is really one of those shows that you just can forget about life for a while and have fun watching on the weekends. I find myself saying Lush, Cracking, and Hiya more times than I really want to say them. On the off chance that the stars of the show ever read these reviews please do everybody a favor and make more episodes. I see so many talented people think they can create something better, when the best thing they have ever done is right under their noses. I'm not sure the actors know what this show means to the true fans. We work hard each week and wait to watch the next episode. 20 is not enough and the story has not been told but only just started! This is a cannot miss for almost any fan of sitcoms. Do yourself a favor and spend about 8 hours watching all 20 episodes and you will be craving a 4th, 5th, and 6th season like the rest of us.
