The first series of Gavin & Stacey was good, not amazing but with so much rubbish on the TV certainly one of my favourite programs to watch at the time. The second series is back on  BBC3 now (Sunday was first episode), and it has been getting plenty of good reviews including praise from The Times & The Guardian!

For me the best storyline wasn’t even Gavin and Stacey, it was the storyline involving Nessa and Smithy. Two great characters with a simple storyline and plenty of great gags, the engagement party was one of the best episodes of the series, ”Nessa, why have you got mud on your knees“, you will need to have seen it to understand.

Its a shame the second series will also be aired on BBC3, it’s definitely good enough to be moved to BBC2 at least and it won’t get the viewing figures it really deserves. Although it has been recognised with several awards so the program isn’t going unappreciated.

If you can’t catch the show on BBC3 at 9pm on Sunday evenings check out BBCs new iPlayer or have a look on YouTube for some clips. I’ll post final thoughts when the new series is complete, but I think its going to be good!
