Amazon.co.uk Review
The first series of Gavin and Stacey brought the show richly-deserved BAFTA recognition, and left the two title characters married by the time it came to an end. Series two picks things up from there, as they settle into married life, and the challenges that ultimately brings.

Never forgetting its comedic roots, Gavin and Stacey now follows the pair, and the collection of characters around them, as they adjust to married life. It doesn’t take, for instance, for Stacey’s homesickness to kick in, while the programme also takes time to spend time with their friends, Nessa and Smithy, as they too evaluate their relationship (and impending baby!).

In lesser hands, Gavin and Stacey’s ingredients could easily go sour. But thanks to some terrific scripting, and quite exceptional performances, it gels superbly well. Much of the credit should go, of course, to Mathew Home and Joanna Page’s endearing performances in the title roles, as well as James Corden and Ruth Jones for their exceptional writing work (the pair also play the aforementioned Nessa and Smithy in the show).

Eschewing gimmicks and cheap lines in favour of three dimensional characters and genuine laughs, Gavin and Stacey is a television gem, and one that deserves to find a wider audience. Hopefully, this DVD release will help to redress that. --Jon Foster

DVD Description
The BAFTA award winning comedy, written by James Corden and Ruth Jones, makes a welcome return to DVD just in time for Christmas. After a triple success at last year’s British Comedy Awards and triumph at The South Bank Show Awards, the second series of Gavin & Stacey is released on 10th November.

Gavin is an ordinary boy from England, Stacey is an ordinary girl from Wales. After speaking on the phone to each other every day at work - they finally met, fell in love and got married.

Now in Series 2, the honeymoon's over for the newlyweds, and their married life begins in earnest at the Shipman family home in Essex. But, as the reality of living so far away sinks in, Stacey starts missing her home in Barry Island along with her mum and her Uncle Bryn.

Meanwhile, Gavin and Stacey's best friends, Smithy and Nessa, are coming to terms with their own stark reality: they're not even friends and yet they're having a baby together!

Screen favourites Rob Brydon and Alison Steadman join an outstanding cast in this contemporary comedy about young romance. Mathew Horne (Catherine Tate, Roman’s Empire, Teachers) and Joanna Page (Gideon’s Daughter, Love Actually) star as Gavin and Stacey, Ruth Jones (Little Britain, Nighty Night) as the forthright and tattooed Nessa, and BAFTA award winner James Corden (Fat Friends, History Boys) as the blokes’ bloke Smithy. Julia Davis (Nighty Night) and Sheridan Smith (Love Soup, Two Pints Of Lager and A Packet of Crisps) also make guest star appearances.

The DVD contains the entire second series plus a wealth of extras including 'An Insight into The Making of Story of Series 2' with an exclusive interview with Ruth and James, outtakes, James and Ruth on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross and audio commentaries on selected episodes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer joy! Every character is a gem., 12 April 2008
By sam155 (Gloucestershire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This has become our favourite programme in our house. How refreshing, in these days of dark dramas and murder mysteries to have a comedy where people find joy in the little things of life. Rob Brydon as Bryn is hilarious and loveable as he happily navigates (or should that be sat-navigates?) his way through life, gadget by gadget, trend by trend. In Series One it was all about sat nav and digital cameras ("see that? there's no film in there!") and in series two he gets drawn into unintentional homo-erotica (semi naked workouts with Smithy, watching Brokeback Mountain). Life makes him happy and its a joy to watch. Then you have dry as a bone Ness,played by actress and co-writer Ruth Jones (Little Britain, Fat Friends, Nighty Night) my favourite character. She never cracks a smile but has lived more lives than a cat and drops in scintilating detail to deadpan effect. She drives a 6.5 ton truck, has produced news programmes for the BBC, and lives with Noel from Hearsay. In the last series, she recalls how she got married and woke up the next morning "in bed with one of Gladys Knight's Pips". As for Smithy and his unfeasibly young girlfriend ("I'm meeting her after guides to talk it through"), he oozes charisma and comedy in his almost accidental and sordid affair with Ness, now pregnant with his child. There isn't room here to list how each charcter has their own set of foibles and quirks, but not a scene is wasted and I could, and do, watch it again and again. The best comedy to emerge in decades. By the way, we often stay with friends in Barry Island and we love making up Gavin and Stacey tours (Ness's change booth, the coach stop to London). If you haven't seen it-watch it- you'll be so glad you did. Five stars from me, six if I could.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just to let you know..., 27 April 2008
By Mr. P. Hill (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great series, you can read all the other comments about how good it is!

BUT...

There is a double episode at Christmas 2008 which will be the last episode ever shown, so you may want to wait for a product that contains those episodes as well, likely to be out soon after. They're following the same business model as The Office, with two series and a Christmas special (Nessa and Smithy to get together?).

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than series 1, 8 Jan 2009
I came to G&S quite late, although felt like I knew the script already due to a mate endlessly quoting from it. I ended up watching series 1&2 together and subsequently bought both DVDs - to me series 2 enhances the characters and the laughs perfectly and some of the scenes are just brilliant - particularly loved the duets between Nessa and Bryn but funniest scene was watching Pamalaaar singing along to Take That to mask the passionate noises coming from the bedroom. Series 3 is now confirmed and the Xmas episode was excellent.
