Essex and Wales collide as Gavin and Stacey fall in love, bringing their friends, family and luggage with them. With the exception of the first episode, which was filmed on location in London, the entire series, including scenes set in the film, was shot in Wales. Essex.

In Series 3, both Bryn and Gavin’s car registration plates are completely different to those of the previous series. Gavin’s blue Saxo T-reg (MY 1999) has been replaced by an X-reg (MY 2000). Bryn’s green Picasso changed from CV02 (MY 2002, registered in Cardiff) to HV54 (MY 2004, registered in Portsmouth). They are obviously different cars. Gavin & Stacey: Outtakes (2007). RunBy Stephen Fretwell Starring: Stephen Fretwell. I have to say I don’t quite understand the previous reviewer as I think he is on a different planet to everyone else and felt compelled to set the record straight. Gavin & Stacey is one of the best comedies I have seen in years. With a wonderful 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. The response to the series has been so good that a second series has already been ordered.
