Essex and Wales collide when Gavin and Stacey fall in love, bringing their friends, family and baggage with them. With the exception of the scenes shot in London in the first episode, the entire series was filmed in Wales, including the scenes set in Essex. The house that was used as the Shipmans’ home (Gavin’s 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 number plates to the previous series. Gavin’s blue Saxo has changed from T-reg (MY 1999) to X-reg (MY 2000). Bryn’s green Picasso has 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 FretwellPerformed by Stephen Fretwell. I have to say I can’t understand the previous reviewer, because I think they are on a different planet to everyone else and I felt compelled to set the record straight. Gavin & Stacey is one of the best comedies I’ve seen in recent years. It features a wonderful cast and a brilliantly written script by Ruth Jones and James Cordon. The programme centres on Gavin (a boy from Essex) and Stacey (a Barry Island receptionist) who begin their relationship over the phone while at work. Feedback on the series has been so good that a second series has already been commissioned.
