Ah, not too bad in that one!

And yes, images can be added with BSG Code.

...it's just slightly improved over the last one. I waste bandwidth like this all the time.
 

Surely Gavin and Stacey is only so popular at the moment is due to the fact that there hasn't been a genuinely funny and clever sitcom since 'The thick of it'. The on Gavin and Stacey is solid but I can't think of one aspect of it that is original. Brim is the funniest character but to some extent they have just nicked the idea of Keith Barret and made a few changes.
 

Brim? Bryn's evil, bizzarro world, twin perhaps?
 

Not much praise for the second series then?
 

Yes. It is better than the first.

Yeah, the second series is much funnier I think.

Really? I thought the first two episodes of series 2 were fairly funny. But the last two that I've watched (episodes 5 & 6, I think), barely made me crack a smile.

I think this series has been good, but the last episode was a little bit drama-heavy for me.

I know, the last scene was a bit like Jones and Corden were sitting there, delighted with their last episode, just waiting for the courier to whisk it off to the Beeb, when a horrible thought occurred. I can imagine the scene, and here I am, imagining the scene . . .

CORDEN screams, drops pie. A blood-curdling sound.

JONES: "What is it? Look you! Lush, etc."

CORDEN: "A horrible thought has occurred. We completely forgot to resolve the dangling plot of Gavin and Stacey's separation. You know, the titular characters. Do you want that Kit-Kat?"

JONES: "I won't lie to you. We have. Yes, I do."

CORDEN: "What time's he coming?"

JONES: "Five minutes. What'll we do?"

CORDEN: "Oh, just get them to ring each other. Write their phones in a bit earlier. We'll end it on a bit of a cliff-hanger. Write it. Write it now."

JONES: "You do it, I'm eating this Kit-Kat seductively."

CORDEN, the sweat pouring from his brow: "Phew! Done it."

JONES: "Tidy."

JONES hands script to COURIER in motorcycle helmet.

CORDEN: "Do you think anyone will notice? Do you want that cake?"

JONES: "Yes I do. I won't lie to you. I wants the cake. No, nobody will notice. And I'll tell you for why. It's because everybody will be too busy laughing at Brydon."

CORDEN, reassured, picks up previously-dropped pie, wipes it clean and eats it.

FIN

I think I might be getting the writers mixed up with their characters.

 

For the last two weeks pulling has been better than Gavin and Stacey by a million miles

I agree. And that's really saying something!

Well uhh, I've not seen the last two, so will have to get back to you on that one. But yes, from what I have seen, I reckon the humour's still there (if changed a bit), and the story is stronger.

I only saw 80% of the first series and only saw the first of the second....but wife loves it and i saw it get the BAFTA so watched the last one tonight.

I don't get it.....it just didn't seem that funny? Obviously there are funny bits but they are pretty spread out for a sitcom. Far more com/drama but not dramatic enough.

oh, and shoehorning in the Catherine tait "am i bovered" scene was awful. Aside from Bryn and fat woman's scenes i don't think i laughed at all. Good luck to them....but i imagined it as a script and couldn't see how anyone commissioned it as a comedy?
 

I'm not a big fan of it to be honest, but know a great deal of people who love it. A lot of the humour does just tend to revolve around funny accents. Rob Brydon is quite funny it, but ultimately, all Bryn is, is an easily pleased middle aged man who marvels at everything. There's quite a lot of little things in the show that bug me also. I think Julia Davis is a bit short changed in her appearances, with some very basic writing. Alison Steadman gets on my fucking nut too. I suppose on one hand you could argue its a well written character if she's getting on your nerves as much as she gets on the nerves of the characters around her, but I find her character a bit tedious. Also, the Sheridan Smith character is Lauren the teenager, I agree with those who pointed that out. It just seems a bit padded out for my liking. The relationship between Nessa and Smithy seems the most interesting aspect of it, but I don't really see why Gavin and Stacey deserve so much screen time. There's not much going on with their storyline. They're a couple of young lovers who married too quickly, and are now going through a rocky patch. Bit boring in my opinion, and nothing that really holds my interest. I'm a fan of Ruth Jones though, so I've followed the show when I can, but all in all; can't really see what the fuss is all about.
