Gavin & Stacey

 

The hilarious Gavin & Stacey BAFTA award winning series boasts a stellar cast and is helping to put Barry and Barry Island on the map!

 

The hit series is written by stars Ruth Jones (Nessa) and James Corden (Smithy).

It follows the budding romance between Essex boy Gavin Shipman (Matthew Horne) and Barry girl Stacey Shipman (Joanna Page). 

 

Gavin and Stacey are the perfect couple however the same cannot be said for their best friends Nessa and Smithy who dislike each other from the start but then end up having a baby together.

 

Filmed mainly in and around Barry the series is generating a huge amount of interest in the area with calls to the tourism department quoting Nessa's popular catchphrase of 'What's occurring?'
