Gavin & Stacey

Absolutely love it and will be watching on Christmas Day for sure.

Love Barry Island too - had some really happy holidays there as a child.

Absolutely love it. Will catch it on iPlayer after all the jollities of Christmas Day r over. My secret indulgence!

As a family we love it, and 9pm will be the highlight of the day.
Home from all the necessary socialising, just the 4 of us with the port, Stilton and Gavin and Stacey.
That’s well lush.

Love Gavin and Stacey!
Someone (a friend in Wales) told me there was a similar programme called The Tuckers. Watched a couple of episodes, but it’s not to my taste - veers more toward ‘Mrs Browns Boys’ sort of ‘humour’.

High Hopes, also a Welsh BBC production, was better, and more akin to Gavin and Stacey I think LucyAnna2. I doubt it’s available easily now though, as it’s over 20 years old. Ruth Jones also wrote and starred in a series called Stella on Sky, which I enjoyed.

Oh, thanks, Casdon, I’ll try and find High Hopes. Loved Stella!

The G&S cast are ‘taking over* Radio 2 from 7am, I think on the 23rd December, usually Zoe Ball.

Some reports say it's the 20th, I must double check.

Yup, Google says 23rd 👍

Monday 23rd, from 6:30 to 9:30am

DH and I absolutely love Gavin & Stacey, all the characters are such - characters. It's very observant of life, love and loyalty and we will be ensconced on the sofa at 9 pm on Christmas Day with large mugs of mulled wine and a couple of hot sausage rolls, ready to laugh or cry or both.

Well fellow Grans, I hold up my hands as the OP.

I've now become OBSESSED with it. I was overcome with glee when Nessa did the T & C's on Strictly. (Even though I still find the character unlikeable - but I do "get" her.)

I'll probably now make omelettes for Christmas lunch and suggest a fishing trip on Boxing Day. I shall make sure my towels are soft so that my guests don't feel that they're drying themselves on Ryvita. I shall start calling my youngest (now 45) "xxx the baby" and start a family discussion on our favourite motorway services.

And I'm busy practising my robot dance moves.

Roll on 9pm on the 25th

Were the cops involved?🤔😄

Nearly!!
But the culprit disappeared, along with his Mummy and big sister.

I did type lurid.
Autocorrect doesn't like lurid.

(It just did it again)
