DVD Description

"… It’s a gem.”--Daily Mail
“…very rude, very funny…”--London Evening Standard
”…there’s almost an embarrassment of riches here. Sweet, and studded with moments of cheerful filth…”--Daily Mirror
“Superb”--Daily Telegraph

Gavin is an ordinary boy from Billericay, and Stacey an ordinary girl from Barry. After speaking on the phone to each other every day at work - they finally meet and fall in love... I won't lie to you, life is never quite that simple. For a start there are Gavin’s parents, Stacey’s mum and Uncle Bryn and best mates Nessa and Smithy to consider, as well as the small matter of living in different countries separated by a long bridge and a toll gate.

Winner of two Baftas and four British Comedy awards, Gavin & Stacey is poignant, genuine and hilarious – one of the stand-out comedy series of the 21st Century.

Synopsis

Sitcom featuring an English guy and a girl from Wales. After speaking on the phone at work every day, Gavin and Stacey meet and soon discover that despite their obvious differences, they share a lot in common. Contains all the episodes from the first three series of the show plus the 2008 Christmas special

5.0 out of 5 stars Immense!, 9 Dec 2009

By	B. Pritchard (Manchester, U.K.) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Gavin And Stacey - Series 1-3 And 2008 Christmas Special [DVD] [2007] (DVD)

I'll tell you what, Gwen, this omelette...erm, no....that's not right. Start again. This boxset is immense!:)

All three series, and the 2008 Christmas special, of the best, wittiest, most charming and romantic British sitcom ever made (in my humble opinion). Six million viewers can't be wrong. It is totally deserving of the awards and nominations it has picked up along the way, not limited to TWO Baftas (Audience Award and Best Comedy Performance for James Corden). So often a show can find itself overrated and over-hyped, but I honestly don't think Gavin & Stacey has been. Not one bit. I think it is all they say it is...and more.

For me the comedy comes from those around the two leads. Gavin and Stacey are very much foils for the crazy and lovable friends and families who provide the comedic elements. Rob Brydon's 'Uncle Bryn', Stacey's uncle, is just so funny it is untrue. While James Corden's 'Smithy', Gavin's best mate, is also hilarious. The dry 'Nessa', Stacey's best friend (played by Corden's co-writer Rush Jones) has to be seen to be believed. However, all the characters are funny...and I feel awful singling anyone out for individual credit. I'm struggling to find the words to describe in what way these characters are funny....I simply can't. It just has to be experienced. All I can say is that like 'The Royle Family', a lot of the comedy comes from mundane, every day conversations. And although it can be saucy and racy, I honestly can't remember a single expletive being uttered throughout the series. Certainly not the bad swear words anyway.

As regards the actual box set, well I can confirm that all the extras from the previous individual releases are all accounted for, so this is the most economical way to buy the complete Gavin & Stacey collection, IF you have so far managed to resit buying the individual series 1 and 2 sets, and the 2008 Christmas special, that is. If you have been buying those, then you're best off buying the standalone season 3 set...as this contains nothing you will miss purchasing it that way. However, it is a pleasure to own the lot in one neat box set.

When they call this 'the complete collection', they mean exactly that. Series 3 was the last we will likely see of our two favourite families from Billericay and Barry Island. James Corden and Ruth Jones have said it will have to be a HUGE inspiration for them to make even another special, while another series is definitely out of the picture.

To summarise, it is tidy! And well lush! Just buy it, savour it, and hope that we'll see its like again.

5.0 out of 5 stars An instant classic, 2 Jan 2010

By	Don Pelayo (Asturias) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Gavin And Stacey - Series 1-3 And 2008 Christmas Special [DVD] [2007] (DVD)

This has been one of the best comedies of the last decade , is witty , original , rude and very funny.

Smithy is the key character that binds the series together ,his relationship with Nessa and Gavin provides an interesting focal point in the episodes .The satellite dish installation will remain in my mind for a long time as a perfectly pitch joke " is lush "

Gladly it looks like there are leaving things as they are the series ends nicely .

Every single character is funny and interesting from Doris and her salads to the fishing trip ,one can't get enough of them .

BRAVO

5.0 out of 5 stars Wet your pants laughing!, 28 Jan 2010

By	Ms. L. M. Longman (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Gavin And Stacey - Series 1-3 And 2008 Christmas Special [DVD] [2007] (DVD)

This is truly just THE funniest thing I own on DVD. WELL worth buying for anybody with a heart, soul and sense of humour! Even my parents like it and they're over 50. Don't think it's just for young people, it's well worth letting the whole family watch.

Just brilliant brilliant brilliant!
