Oh God.

When is it on. I missed it.

Personally I think that 'Human Remains' is the finest work that Rob Brydon & Julia Davis have done. Would love them to team up for a similar series.

I've obviously missed a good'un
I watch episodes 1 and 2 of G and S yesterday on BBC iplayer. As usual its a good comedy drama and Rob Brydon's character is funny at times but it ain't a comedy. But how many bloomin pop-references are they trying to cram into this series!?! Its amazing and lazy. They've sat in front of a TV and just thought thats popular lets reference it 
They've turned into observational comics. I'd wish they would drop the empty pop reference one liners and concentrate on the characters and the story. its ver irritating 'Look were calling Pete Townsend a peadophile but without actually saying it aren't we clever.' No you ain't.
Not much comment on series two of BBC's 'flagship sitcom'. It's on now and they just had Sheridan Smith doing a sub Catherine Tate routine. I think this programme is actually worse than Mayo - the execrable Alistair McGowan vehicle. It's not badly written because it's not written at all. The scenes are very weak riffs. Compare it to another unpleasant show about human waste - Shameless. The characters are equally detestable, but the writing shines in places.
Rob Brydon is keeping this show afloat single handedly. It hard to tell which are weaker - the characters of Gavin and Stacey or the actors playing them.

I have to disagree with most of that. I think it is very well written and the acting is perfect for the sitcom. Fortunately, all the awards and ratings backs that up. I guess you just don't like it which is fair enough. I agree the Sheridan Smith scene was just like 'I am bovvvvered' though.
I really liked the trading in stock references in episode three - a really nice touch out of left field. Its a warm and friendly sitcom which I really enjoy.
I loves it I do.
This week's was extra good.
I do like a rolled steel joist.
Haha, yes, the end was particularly good! Great show, very clever writing. And perfectly joined by Coupling afterwards.
The old James Corden crush is gathering strength each week...
I heard him do a radio interview last weekend. Actually rather funny. Bastard got free shoes! *shakes fist*
Would you uhh... Would you like the last corn-on-the-cob?
