Somehow I had managed to totally miss out on G&S when it was on TV. I had heard that it was good but never actually caught a single episode.

So I got this DVD - and I was instantly hooked and ended up watching all 6 episodes back to back in a single sitting. It is stunning - well written, great characters, great actors (Rob Brydon is a genius) and life-affirming charming.

I haven't been so bowled over by a British comedy so since Phoenix Nights or Spaced.

I'm now off to get the DVD of the second series.

What a fantastic comedy, Britain has been lacking a good heart warming comedy for years and now its here Gavin and Stacey,What a fantastic bunch of characters from Smiffy and Ness to Gav's mum and Dad, I bet everyone knows a family or a character they can relate to,I know i do!!!
Its the type of programme you can watch again and again and you will pick up on a few puns you missed before. Cracking highly reccomended and the 2nd series does not let you down just like the 1st.Watch it...

The cast of this one off comedy film reads like a Who's Who of today's TV movers and shakers. Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, David Walliams, and Man of the moment James Corden all star in a multi layered tale of hero worship. Rob Brydon's charcater used to be in a series called Children of Castor and it is the fans of this fictional cult series that pursue him so reverently. There are various sub plots firing off in different directions but it has to be said, it would have really benefited from some ruthless editing. Two thirds of the way through I started reading a magazine.

Interesting backstory- if you have read Russell Brand's Booky Wook, you will know that he too was on this cruise during his heavy drug user period and he and David ... Read More:

Mike Leigh can always be counted on when it comes to presenting truthful, emotional and compelling British cinema. Over the past twenty years, he has progressed beyond the limitations of cosy teatime telly to present us with something that resonates with a sense of reality far more potent than that of our previous king of kitchen-sink despair, Ken Loach. When at his best, Leigh is a creator of honest and heartfelt, slice-of-life pictures that move effortlessly from scenes of warm humour, to moments of crippling despair; whilst always offering us a collection of characters that are viewed through the eyes of a central protagonist who, during the course of the film, undergoes a series of life shattering episodes that will eventually change their lives ...

I didn't expect much when bought this title as I hadn't heard anything about it. I am very glad I did though as it proved to be funny & entertaining; a real find. Although it seems to have slipped under the radar like many low budget British films, it definitely proved a lot more watchable than many of the latest big budget Hollywood films, and it has James Corden in from Gavin and Stacy who is dynamite.

What a pleasant surprise! A truly funny British film with some great acting - even from Lulu. Just buy/rent it and watch it - you'll not regret it. It certainly is up there with Four Weddings and a Funeral.

A friend told me about this film and I'm sure I would have enjoyed it less had I not known that it was previously a successful West End play. Written by the well known English poet and writer, Alan Bennet, it feels more like a play than a film - the characters are larger than life and the musical backdrop is a bit of a giveaway.

Set in Britain in the 80s (judging by the music) the plot follows a group of state school boys who have qualified for admission interviews at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. The headmaster feels that despite the boys' obvious intelligence, they lack a certain `flair' against their public school competition. So he recruits a young Oxbridge graduate straight from teacher training school to polish the boys for the ... Read More:
