5 out of 5 stars Immense!   December 9, 2009

I'll tell you what, Gwen, this omelette...erm, no....that's not right. Start again. This boxset is immense!:)

All three series, and the 2008 Christmas special, of the best, wittiest, most charming and romantic British sitcom ever made (in my humble opinion). Six million viewers can't be wrong. It is totally deserving of the awards and nominations it has picked up along the way, not limited to TWO Baftas (Audience Award and Best Comedy Performance for James Corden). So often a show can find itself overrated and over-hyped, but I honestly don't think Gavin & Stacey has been. Not one bit. I think it is all they say it is...and more.

For me the comedy comes from those around the two leads. Gavin and Stacey are very much foils for the crazy and lovable friends and families who provide the comedic elements. Rob Brydon's 'Uncle Bryn', Stacey's uncle, is just so funny it is untrue. While James Corden's 'Smithy', Gavin's best mate, is also hilarious. The dry 'Nessa', Stacey's best friend (played by Corden's co-writer Rush Jones) has to be seen to be believed. However, all the characters are funny...and I feel awful singling anyone out for individual credit. I'm struggling to find the words to describe in what way these characters are funny....I simply can't. It just has to be experienced. All I can say is that like 'The Royle Family', a lot of the comedy comes from mundane, every day conversations. And although it can be saucy and racy, I honestly can't remember a single expletive being uttered throughout the series. Certainly not the bad swear words anyway.

As regards the actual box set, well I can confirm that all the extras from the previous individual releases are all accounted for, so this is the most economical way to buy the complete Gavin & Stacey collection, IF you have so far managed to resit buying the individual series 1 and 2 sets, and the 2008 Christmas special, that is. If you have been buying those, then you're best off buying the standalone season 3 set...as this contains nothing you will miss purchasing it that way. However, it is a pleasure to own the lot in one neat box set.

When they call this 'the complete collection', they mean exactly that. Series 3 was the last we will likely see of our two favourite families from Billericay and Barry Island. James Corden and Ruth Jones have said it will have to be a HUGE inspiration for them to make even another special, while another series is definitely out of the picture.

To summarise, it is tidy! And well lush! Just buy it, savour it, and hope that we'll see its like again.

This has been one of the best comedies of the last decade , is witty , original , rude and very funny.

Smithy is the key character that binds the series together ,his relationship with Nessa and Gavin provides an interesting focal point in the episodes .The satellite dish installation will remain in my mind for a long time as a perfectly pitch joke " is lush "

Gladly it looks like there are leaving things as they are the series ends nicely .

Every single character is funny and interesting from Doris and her salads to the fishing trip ,one can't get enough of them .

BRAVO

To be honest I've been a little late coming to `Gavin and Stacey', but a friend lent me this boxset and after watching one or two episodes I was completely captivated. This follows Gavin, who is from Essex and Stacey, who is from Wales and their friends and family as they start a new relationship and cope with travelling back and forth between the countries and the normal early relationship teething problems. The cast is simply superb and from the bro-mance between Gavin and his best mate Smithy to the hard bitten Nessa this will have you laughing out loud at too many times to count. My favourite has to be Gavin's mum, Pamela, who is slightly dippy, but cares deeply about her son and husband and comes out with some cracking lines. There are so many catchphrases in the series' that you will be repeating them to each other in short time and reliving the joy of the series long after you have finished watching them. The extras are pretty great, with hilarious outtakes, and featurettes about the making of the series and favourite moments etc. This is a genuinely funny series and manages to be sensitive and endearing at the same time. If you haven't seen it yet then snap this up and enjoy everything it has to offer and if you have already seen this on TV then this is an excellent package that includes the Xmas special, some extras and the complete three series' to relive again and again.

Having caught up rather late with the 'Gavin and Stacey' phenomenon, we saw two episodes of the recent TV repeats, and were hooked. We bought the entire set, which includes the Christmas special, and watched the episodes over a week or so. This must be sitcom TV at its absolute best - the writing, acting and storyline were perfectly executed, and the casting director must have been inspired. Nessa, Uncle Bryn, Smithy, all the characters were so believable and in turn so hilarious, touching, and cleverly drawn that we were disappointed when we reached the end of the last episode.

He who is tired of London is tired of life...something similar could be said for 'Gavin and Stacey'.

My pensionable parents grew up in Essex and have long-since moved to South Wales...they now start every phone call with 'what's occurring'. This is a show with something for everyone. Superficially, it is a fun 'romcom' soap opera but there is so much more to it. If you think of yourself as a people watcher, you'll love it. If you like to be made to feel uncomfortable (think Ali G), you'll love it. If you feel smug spotting the 'adult' humour in animations such as Shrek / Ratatouille...you get the idea.

Buy it, watch it, be a nicer person at work!
