Essex and Wales collide when Gavin and Stacey fall in love and take their friends, family and luggage with them. Apart from scenes shot in London in the first episode, the entire series was filmed in Wales, including scenes set in Essex. The house that served as the Shipmans' The house (Gavin’s family) is in Dinas Powys, a village 1 mile northwest of Barry, where the Wests (Stacey’s family) live. In Series 3, both Bryn and Gavin’s cars have completely different registration numbers from the previous series. Gavin’s blue Saxo has been changed from T-reg (MR 1999) to X-reg (MR 2000). Bryna’s green Picasso was changed from CV02 (MR 2002, registered in Cardiff) to HV54 (MR 2004, registered in Portsmouth). They are obviously different cars. Featured in Gavin & Stacey: Outtakes (2007). RunBy Stephen Fretwell With Stephen Fretwell. I have to say that I don’t quite understand the previous reviewer as I think they are on a different planet than everyone else and I felt compelled to set things straight. Gavin & Stacey is one of the best comedies I’ve seen in years. It features an incredible cast and a brilliantly written script by Ruth Jones and James Cordon. The series revolves around Gavin (a boy from Essex) and Stacey (a receptionist from Barry Island) who start their relationship over the phone while at work. Feedback on the series has been so good that a second series has already been ordered.
