Unpopular Opinion: I’ve Never Liked Gavin and Stacey
…confessions of a rebel Welsh chick, I guess. 😅
OK — I know that there are international fans of this series, but since it’s less well-known outside the UK, a little background:
Gavin and Stacey is a BBC sitcom about a Welsh woman from Barry and an English dude from Essex meeting on the internet, falling in love, and trying to get together despite being from opposite ends of the country.
It’s also where James Corden hit the big time, in the UK at least. So… there’s that. Make of it what you will 😅
This year, the last ever special episode of this show will air on Christmas Day on the BBC.
( — for cultural context, the Christmas Day schedule on the BBC is a Big Deal™.)
It was on the news — that’s how big a deal this thing is here.
Lots of Welsh people absolutely adore Gavin and Stacey. And that is valid and a-OK.
A lot of people swear by this show.
A lot of people think it’s the best thing ever.
