Gavin & Stacey Page 23

Ooh, that too. He had a lot of sensitive bits! And topless bits.

I meant the other thingy...
Played by Ruth. The bit where she said 'it is yours' and he whispered 'I know'. Aw.

I don't remember that bit! *scratches head*

It was just after she walked in on him getting dressed.
When he told her he wanted to go to the scan with her.

I ... I actually don't remember any of that. o_O

I must have walked out of the room or something.

I suppose I was entering shows into the BCG database at the time.

You weren't watching the microwave by accident again, were you?

Erm...

I like the turny-ness.

Aw. And the beeps?

Not forgetting the little light!

I thought it was very good. The characters are so well formed and believable whilst still being quirky. Its got a great blend of being moving and funny at the same time, which I think works as some moving moments get brought crashing down to earth with a joke.

One line I assume must have been worded that way on purpose, that made me laugh...

Gavin: Come on mate.
Smithy: Don't come on me mate.

There are a few hidden lines like that. Did anyone notice that after Ness said she lived with the bloke from Hearsay and a few from Katatonia she started talking in their lyrics?

Yeah!

I also liked the story about Richard and Judy.

Nessy in All Saints! ha!

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying it was terrible. I just don't feel that it hit the heights of the first series. But then again, the first series, in my opinion, set the bar ridiculously high anyway.

I get the feeling they're really attempting to add a bit of substance to the characters in this series, which may be to the detriment of a few laughs? I guess future episodes will prove or disprove that.

Thought the first two episodes were really good and am glad to see this show back. I think it has established its own little world very successfully and it's a pleasure to spend time with these characters.

Particular favourites are the Rob Brydon and Alison Steadman characters. And that short little aside at the breakfast table where Bryn mentions the peanut butter and jam thing was a lovely morsel of good character comedy writing.
