After the debut of the show on BBC Three, a second series was soon commissioned. Speaking about the second series, Corden said "It's the show that we wanted to make. If people like it, they like it: if they don't, they don't. That's a nice feeling, that's quite freeing... There's more of a journey and more of a story. We hope the viewers will feel like they've been taken on a little trip by it", while Jones said "Series one had a very specific storyline to it, boy meets girl and it ends in a wedding. We don't have the same type of storyline in the second series. It's now girl lives with boy's parents in Essex and the joys that might entail." [14] Gavin & Stacey was directed by Christine Gernon who had previously directed other BBC sitcoms such as One Foot in the Grave. Acclaimed as both a hit and a breakthrough show for the BBC, it was the most nominated show in the 2007 British Comedy Awards. It won several awards, including the British Academy Television Awards (BAFTAs) Audience Award, and the British Comedy Awards Best TV Comedy Award, both in 2008. In 2019, Gavin & Stacey was named the 17th-greatest British sitcom in a poll by Radio Times. [2] Nessa on politics] “This is O-Bama alright? Not to be confused with O-Sama. O-Bama. O-Sama.

A confidence, if you will, that you rarely find in a fat man.” Pam’s dietary requirements] “This morning, before you arrived, I became a vegetarian. Yeah, veggie, Out of interest, any one of you vegetarians? I mean, not that it makes any difference to me either way. I mean, we’re all adults. But, I would ask you to respect my views. And all the little animals who’ve been needlessly murdered in the name of Western Civilised greed.” (Photo: BBC) The decision was made by BBC Worldwide to release the full DVD box set of series three on 7December 2009, in time for the Christmas rush, despite not all of the series having aired in the UK. There was some criticism, with Liberal Democrat media spokesperson Don Foster saying it devalued the licence fee.

Bryn: “It is, Gavin, it is, provided you remember the one golden rule, and I’ll tell you what, it took me a while to get my head round it. What it is, you have to start everything with ‘w-w-w-dot’. And the best thing to do is to think of something to help remind you, like with me now, I think of ‘whiskey with water’ which was my brother – God rest his soul – my brother’s favourite drink.
