"TIDY!"
We're more than halfway through the latest series of Gavin and Stacey and so far, hardly anything has actually, you know, happened. But that's all to the good, because I reckon this is the funniest, most warm-hearted sitcom on telly for ages.
What's great is that all the characters in the series are likable, with even the more overt comic characters like Uncle Bryn and Nessa being fully rounded and sympathetic, without simply being used to set up jokes. The performances are exceptional too - James Corden is a great comedy actor and lights up the screen whenever he appears, and although some people seem to be finding Joanna Page a bit annoying, I think she's playing it just right, and her accent just makes the lines funnier.
Steve Williams, Off The Telly, 31st March 2008Okay, it's lighter on storylines but now this sitcom delivers glorious set-pieces to compensate. Yet it never tips over into cheesiness - thanks mainly to a lake of smut bubbling below the surface.
