Gavin & Stacey is a British institution, but it’s a show defined by a very strange irony. It’s named after a couple who, let’s be honest, are often the blandest people on screen, serving as the ‘normal’ anchors while the supporting cast runs away with every scene.

Whether you love the genius of the writing or struggle to separate the art from the ‘diva’ headlines, there’s no denying the show’s grip on our culture. In this video, we’re going to look at what viewers and critics Loved or Hated about Gavin and Stacey.
