Essex and Wales collide when Gavin and Stacey fall in love, bringing Essex with their friends, family and luggage. The house used as the Shipmans’ (Gavin’s family) home is in Dinas Powys, a village 1 mile northwest of Barry. The cars have completely different registration numbers than in previous episodes. Gavin’s Blue Saxo has been changed from T-reg (MY 1999) to X-reg (MY 2000). Breen’s Green Picasso has been changed from CV02 (MY 2002, registered in Cardiff) to HV54 (MY 2004, registered in Portsmouth). They are clearly different cars. Featured in Gavin & Stacey: Outtakes (2007). Directed by Stephen Fretwell Performed by Stephen Fretwell. I have to say I can’t fully understand the previous reviewer as I think they are on another planet and I felt compelled to set the record straight. Gavin & Stacey is one of the best comedies I have seen in years. It has a wonderful cast and a brilliantly written script from Ruth Jones and James Corden. The programme follows Gavin (a boy from Essex) and Stacey (a receptionist from Barry Island) who start a relationship over the phone while they are at work.
