Describe Gavin and Stacey here. It's well lush! Gavin and Stacey is a comedic British Series (2007-2009) about Gavin, a man from Essex, and Stacey, a woman from Barry, Wales. The programme follows their developing relationship and eventual marriage. Most of the humour is character driven, with the central couple playing the Straight Man to their eccentric families and friends. Seriously popular too- it moved from BBC 3 and an audience of 500,000 to BBC 1 where it got about seven million.
