Gavin And Stacey
i live about 30 mins drive away from barry and i get my sea fishing bait from a shop only a few streets away..
try you tube ...
Series One is available in region 1 (us and canada) on amazon.com - could not find any other series on there though. http://www.amazon.com/Gavin-Stacey-Season-Mathew-Horne/dp/B001PWY4U4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1269930757&sr=8-1 Can't believe the BBC hasn't got that one covered yet - and they are shouting about not having any money here in the UK...
Thanks Nancy, I'll search Google for series 3 and the Smithy red nose special.
We have watched it several times! It is so well done! There is another Comic Relief with Smithy and the English Football team.
My Welsh husband and I love it! My husband is from Ysrad Mynach originally and remembers going to Barry as a child and getting sand in his sandwiches. We have googled Gavin and Stacey "complete episodes" and found a site that showed the whole third series. Lyn watched the second series on a website from Japan. Good luck finding it.
How can the Americans remake things and expect them to be the same? We've got "Coupling" - a funny version of the unfunny "Friends", but did you see what they did to "The Office"? I mean, people all over the UK don't get Carediff humour, oh dear.
Have you seen the Comic Relief 2009 video of Nessa and Bryn singing Islands in the Stream with Tom Jones? it's on iTunes - it's fantastic.
My husband and I saw the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special while we were in Wales for Christmas. We were able to get it on Net Flicks and watch the first series. We really enjoyed it. I love Nessa too! She is such a great character. I think we are waiting to get the next series.
New Jersey would work well as an equivalent for Essex Chav's but I would pick Maine as a Stacey equivalent. Mainers are noted for their dry wit and dour countenance, for a near simulacrum see Red Green.If she was from Maine, Nessa would say "Hows yer bug?" for Whats occuring - Reference comedian Bob Marley for other dialect peculiarities.
Hi,I think you can watch Gavin & Stacey on BBC America: http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/327/index.jsp I also think that you can buy the first series on Region 1: http://www.bbcamericashop.com/video/gavin-and-stacey-season-1-14972.html?AID=10273980&PID=854671 Hope that helps.Stuart StreetCor Meibion Morlais
Thanks everyone for your input re Gavin and Stacey. I can get the whole series off itunes but have to watch the shows on my computer. Maybe I can copy from my MAC to a DVD and then watch on TV. Good grief, it's too complicated. About the American version if they make one: No way could they ever catch the humour by using a New Jersey boy and a South Carolina girl. What would Nessa say instead of Whats occuring? and when she has Smithy in her hotel room, what would they call an ensuite bathroom, And how would they say "we all knows what we're ere for now let's ger on with it. Uncle Bryn thinks that WWW.com is WildWelshWomen.com. This show is so funny, I laugh just thinking about it. Anyway I can't see a US version of Jack and Mary with laugh tracks and non funny lines.
Sorry I can't help you but the show sounds good. maybe sometime they will export it. Marilyn
Does anyone know where I can see previous episodes of Gavin and Stacey. I tried to buy a DVD but they are all in UK format and wont work on my US DVD player. I love Nessa, she is so fabulous and perfect for a Barry girl. I was in Wales for Christmas and New Year and saw the show for the first time. It is hysterical, I laughed so hard. I want to see MORE.
