Need name of sitcom

Hello,

Last year on an overseas flight I was lucky enough to catch the pilot of a bbc sitcom. It was really funny, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called to see if I can watch more episodes online or DVD.

The premise was a guy and a girl have been talking on the phone and over email for awhile, and finally decide to meet up in London. I think the girl lives on a small island off. They both decide to bring their best friends along for safety (the friends are the comic relief and I think the loud-mouth female friend is one of the creators/writers). They all meet up in London, get drunk, sleep together and then leave town. The guy drives all the way to where the girl lives to profess his love for her.

Sound familiar? I hope somebody can help me out!

thanks,

Gavin and Stacey?

Gavin and Stacey. Though technically speaking Wales is not an island.

The second series recently finished showing.

Yep, definitely Gavin and Stacey.

No, but Barry Island, where she lives, pretty much is.

Look at you with your posh italics.
