Gavin & Stacey

[Bernie Bobcat]

Hi Elle

Just have to tell you that we are so grateful for you pointing us in the direction of Gavin & Stacey.  "Craackin' good series that" as they probably say in Welsh Wales! 

We have seen the first three episodes now and are totally hooked.  You are so right about Smithy & Nessa being the characters that it all hangs on, although Gavin's Mum makes me howl too! 

Lovin' it! 

Cheers girl!  X

we like you bernie got into it late , and as they will not make anymore just watch repeats ,it's a shame it was stuck on bbc3 at first as if it was mainstream more people would have seen it

and as for james cordens piece on friday on sports relief absolute class

if you havent seen it bob will find the you tube no doubt

Hey Bernie - what's occurrin'?

Yes - it's absolutely brilliant. We didn't hear about it until Smithy did last year's sports relief - and I think it was Keith who posted the link. Thn I got Googling... and we were hooked. We've laughed and cried with the best of them. Love it!

At the end of the day, it is what it is. Tidy!

Ange bought me the book for my birthday last year - full of goodies!

Like Sam says - James Cordon's bit on this year's Sports Reliefe was excellent! We were roaring with laughter!!

Hi Guys

Yep - got to see James Corden doing the Sports Relief bit.  Very funny.  I love him in Gavin & Stacey though.  Fantastic character.  I wonder how much of the real James Corden goes into Smithy!  (Not in an obscene way, obviously!) 

Will be glued tomorrow night to see what happens next!

Didn't know it was on iTunes Josie!  Love to load up movies/podcasts before flights so I'm always entertained, so will get a few G&S episodes now to keep me topped up!  

"Wicked"!

Don't forget to grab the Christmas special too, Bernie! And if you have any missing... then I'll give them to you when you're next over xx

[Bernie Bobcat]

Last of the first series is on next Wednesday night on Sky Gold.  Then the following week it starts series 2.

We'll get to see the first one on TV, so I think I'll convert & load episodes 2 & 3 to watch on the laptop over the hols. That way we'll be keeping up and ready to watch episode 4 when we're back home. 

Even though I have all the episodes on the external HD drive I still love to watch them on the telly!  (Obviously somthing to do with being to far the wrong side of 40!)  Have the Christmas specials that you gave me before Elle, and we're saving them until we've seen all the other episodes.  We'll indulge ourselves then with a night curled up in front of the laptop!

Bernie - you need to watch the Christmas Special BETWEEN Series one and two, honey... for it to fit. xxxx

[Bernie Bobcat]

Just chatting about Gavin & Stacey with friends here recently (whom we've also converted into big fans!) and wondered had everyone else noted the surnames they use for the characters in the series. 

We had copped from the beginning that Gavins family were called "Shipman" and Stacey's family were "West" but only copped while watching the third seres that the Shipmans' palls are called "Sutcliffe"!   

Bloody hilarious series!

Oh... Bernie... What's occurrin'?

Yes - we chuckled at the surnames too. Haven't watched those in a while... so may have to do a recap. Hilarious!

One of my favourite scenes is this one

Come on then guys.... what are some of the best lines from the programme?

Here's a few of my faves...

**********************************************
Bryn - "If I show you how to use the rape alarm and you go to London, England and come back Sunday raped. It's not on my conscience and I'll sleep easy at night coz' I showed you how to use it."
**********************************************
Pam - “Barry Island? You're having the wedding in Wales? Over my dead body. Where you having the reception, on the log flumes? Hot dogs and candy floss served up by some gyppo on a donkey???”

Gwen - "Perhaps Stacey doesn't want to get married in Essex. What is she going to do here, totter down the aisle in a mini skirt and white stillettos?"

Pam - “Shut it you leak munching sheep shagger!”
**********************************************
Gavin: You've only ever had one girlfriend and she's just turned 17 so forgive me if I don't hang on your every word regarding my own love life
Smithy: 17 and 3 quarters actually and she just got 90% in her driving theory and her test is in two weeks but whatever.
**********************************************
Smithy: How many Neurofen would it take to finish me off?
Gavin: You? Hundreds!
Smithy. Well, I can't afford that, not if I'm gonna have a Holiday this year.
