In March I posted about the new series of Gavin & Stacey and questioned whether it could be even better than the first series, and it most certainly was!

I managed to catch all 7 episodes in the second series, apart from the 6th episode (boring, but necessary for storylines to flow) I thought they were all very funny. The series started well when both Gavin and Stacey’s family were out together for a meal, this is when everyone found out about Nessa’s baby - Smithy being the last to know! I won’t run through the whole series because I’m sure you’ve either; watched it or; are going to buy the DVD. It also ended well, I won’t spoil it in case you haven’t seen it yet.

I still think the best storyline is the relationship between Nessa, or should I say Vanessa Shanessa Jenkins, and Smithy. Much more interesting, original and funny than Gavin & Staceys relationship. I also thought Bryn (Rob Brydon) was an even funnier character than the first series, ”I’ve just been updating the MySpace, I’ve got 17 friends, I’m snowed under!” and his greeting of Gwen at her suprise birthday party was classic!

It was a shame the series wasn’t a little bit longer, in my last blog post I said Shameless was to long at 17 1hour episodes, whereas Gavin & Stacey was 7 30minute episodes. Shameless should be shortened and Gavin & Stacey extended!

Overall I thought the second series was great and am definitely looking forward to the third series (whenever that is). I would give the second series of Gavin & Stacey 8/10.
