And finally, my third posting in a single morning (surely a 'P.B') concerns the return of Gavin and Stacey imminently on the BBC. The 1st Series of this fantastic comedy followed the lives of Gavin and Stacey - an Essex boy and Welsh lass - charting the evolution of their long-distance relationship, wedding plans and eventual marriage with all the familial tensions along the way.
The characters are bright and endearing and the script is simple yet highly amusing. The comedy is not forced* and allows the narrative to flow easily with intelligent, funny dialogue punctuating the natural progression of their lives throughout.
I haven't seen a date announced for Series 2 yet so seize the opportunity to watch (or recap) on Series 1 before the new installment arrives.
* See comedic crap like Dinnerladies etc where circumstances are inexplicably forced in order to squeeze a gag or two in.
