Gavin & Stacey

The Welsh lot have been invited to Essex for Christmas, so Nessa and the Wests pile onto Dave's coach and head east. Pam has done a fabulous spread, Bryn has his mistletoe at the ready, Mick is distracted by a new love in his life and Smithy cannot wait for his first Christmas with Neil the baby. Then the bubbly starts flowing, and Gavin and Stacey make an announcement that rocks both families. It's a noisy, cosy hour of telly that feels like being squeezed round someone else's family table, and it's best watched with your own relatives close enough to nudge.
