The whole OTT saga over the F word in Fairytale of New York is ridiculous tbh and that’s coming from someone who could actually get offended by the word. As if they’d put it in as a way of causing offence ffs totally ridiculous and people just making a huge deal of nothing.
Will people start complaing over Big fat sue next? I watched it again and screamed at one part where Gwen comes out the toilet spraying loads of air freshener saying to Smithy and Gavin I didn’t realise you were waiting. I love Pam. Weirdly the characters of Gavin and Stacey seem to be the ones mentioned the least  it’s their family members who we love more.

Also on the last Xmas special like a decade ago or so now didn’t Dawn call Nessa a truck driving Dy** surely that was way more homophobic. If they had something like that in the episode I’d get it but when it’s a song lyric of a song what’s been played since before I was even born it’s just stupid. That’s my opinion though.

QUOTE(Festivus @ Dec 28 2019, 09:45 PM)  Gavin & Stacey is a British sitcom, written by James Corden and Ruth Jones...  In all seriousness, it’s probably both. A romantic/dramedy sitcom, with some comedic elements attached to it. Had a debate today with a friend who watched it for the first time and he said it wasn't funny at all/didn't laugh but I said it's not really a comedy more a sitcom. |

I loved the special tbh, FoNY is a great song I enjoy yearly and it was nice hearing the cast of one of my favourite UK comedies sing along to one of my own favourite Christmas songs along with plenty of others.
Ending on a cliffhanger wasn’t expected, if a New Years special was already announced I’d be expecting it but I wasn’t I did love how easily everyone slipped back into their roles 10 years on though, it goes to show how much fun the cast had in the first place that not only did they want to return but that they actually did. I reckon a return of Gavin & Stacey would work great tbh, the humour was exactly the same as it used to be. Maybe even seasonal specials where the whole family gets together, Christmas at Gwens, Easter at Pams, etc. “Gavin & Stacey: In Spain” when they visit the brother Honestly I’d be up for it tbh

I think a christmas special works, it's something to look forward to and it gives them time to put a great episode together. A new full series may potentially be not as good which would take from it.Eitger way I want something from them again as I really enjoyed the Christmas special.

Yeh agreed the best episode from the original series was the Christmas special all the characters just seem to come into their own in the festive setting so ones most years would be a good idea.

I can’t judge too much myself as I’ve only seen a bit of Gavin & Stacey, but the comedy probably isn’t as obvious or in your face like, for example, the likes of Only Fools and Fawlty Towers. So Gavin & Stacey probably isn’t laugh out loud funny on a regular basis, there’s still enough comedic moments for it to still be considered a comedy. From what I’ve seen of it the show is enjoyable to watch, the characters are entertaining and the writing is pretty good. I will look to invest more on Gavin & Stacey in the new year I reckon. |

Loved it, need more! Going to watch the whole series from the beginning because I've been quite patchy with watching it!

Gavin and Stacey is a show/comedy that i felt i grew into.
Initially, i thought it was an average/ok show but with time i got a better understanding of its humour and i now i think it is a fantastic show. When i re watch the episodes now, i don't understand how initially i didn't find it as hilarious as i do now. |
