Gavin and Stacey have been continuing their romance on-line and by telephone for the last six months. Now they want to be together but will their friends and family let them?
And maybe that's the appeal of Gavin and Stacey: if the funniest comedy is the private running gag between family or friends, then this is like eavesdropping on a series of in-jokes between its characters - and everyone wants to be in on the joke.
Gavin and Stacey is a show that feels so completely real and British and homely, it belongs on the small screen, to be watched surrounded by love and family and the Christmas spirit.
Written by James Corden and Ruth Jones, the show delivered on every level. You laughed, you cried, you worried for Uncle Bryn (Rob Brydon), one of the greatest tragicomic characters of all time.
