Summary

Review
I like to think BBC director-general Tony Hall has a glass case in his office that is only to be opened at times of national emergency. He has just broken into it and dished out the medicine an anxious viewing public needs at this point – a classic repeat of Gavin & Stacey.
I mean, it’s clearly been shown before, but that’s not the point. Last year’s Gavin & Stacey special was the most watched programme on Christmas Day, reaching 11.6 million of us and cementing the Barry/Billericay clan’s place in our hearts. Tonight, BBC One shows the very first episode. “This’ll be a hit,” said Radio Times on 13 May 2007. How right we were.
It gets off to a mildly lascivious start as long-distance sweethearts Gavin (Mathew Horne) and Stacey (Joanne Page) first meet, flanked by their pals Smithy and Nessa (writers Corden and Jones). Then we settle down into the earthy, affectionate portrayal of close friends and family that was the recipe for a modern classic.
