No, I don't think so. I'd guess his role and importance in the show has probably doubled since series one. A lot more of a supportive character, whereas he was primarily 'occasional' beforehand.

I absolutely adored the corn on the cob exchange. Absolutely priceless. Best bit so far in my opinion. I'm enjoying the whole series though.
Hands up everyone who hates Stacey!
Well I don't hate her, she is the least sympathetic character at the moment though. But maybe that's on purpose.
Yes, was about to say the same. She's not exactly being put across as endearing over the past couple of episodes, particularly last night's one.
The masturbation conversation was funny though.
Haha, good Lord, I'd forgotten about that!

I haven't. I'm trying to print the image - of Stacey not... ah no, get that new image out my head... Smithy ahhhh!
I think this series is far better than the last.
I too do not like Stacey much, but the rest of them are pretty cool.
I've still not seen any of this series but it is funny (or not) that the two characters the show is named after are probably the wimpiest of the lot.
As in Will & Grace.
I have not watched a single episode! People keep telling me it's good, but none of its trailers have made me laugh and that's usually a bad sign for me. Might give it a try if nothing else is on 
It's not that kind of show. Everything leads on from something else; a very linear storyline. If you don't laugh at the trailers (I don't) then all that means it that you didn't find the trailers funny. They're of no consequence, and certainly no fair representation of the programme. The kind of linear storyline present in Gavin and Stacey can't be depicted like that. Give it a try.

Thanks, will do 
The only thing I can come up with to explain the popularity of this show is that the scripts are amateurish and this is a forum of amateur writers, so G & S closely resembles scripts being turned out by the people on here who like it. That doesn't explain its popularity amongst non writers though, and all the millions of people who never come on here.
I appear to be the only person in England who thinks it's embarrassingly awful. I must be wrong.

You just don't like it/get it. Leave it at that. We're all different, no sitcom is liked by everyone. Just don't accuse the writing, or writers of the board of being amateur when its just a case of your taste differing from others.
