Essex and Wales collide when Gavin and Stacey fall in love, bringing their friends, family and luggage with them.. Apart from scenes shot on location in London in the first episode, the entire series was filmed in Wales, including scenes set in Essex. The house which was used as Shipmans’ (Gavin’s family) house is in Dinas Powys, a village 1 mile north-west of Barry, where the Wests (Stacey’s family) live. In Series 3, both Bryn and Gavin’s cars have completely different registration numbers from the previous series. Gavin’s blue Saxo changed from T-reg (my year 1999) to X-reg (my year 2000). Bryn’s green Picasso was changed from CV02 (MY 2002, registered in Cardiff) to HV54 (MY 2004, registered in Portsmouth). They are obviously different cars. Featured in Gavin & Stacey: Outtakes (2007). RunBy Stephen Fretwell Performed by Stephen Fretwell. Absolutely top comedy, top acting and the writing is incredible. This is truly one of the best comedy series I’ve seen in years. Following the relationship between Gavin (Matthew Horne: Teachers and Catherine Tate) and Stacey (Joanna Page) from their initial flirtation on the phone, to their wedding day and beyond into married life this program is skillfully written by James Corden and Ruth Jones who also play Gavin and Stacey’s best friends Smithy and Ness (who totally stole the show in my opinion.) Those who give this show a bad rating obviously have no sense of humor and no appreciation for decent comedy!
