This BBC romantic sitcom is about the long-distance relationship between Gavin (from Billericay, Essex) and Stacey (from Barry, South Wales).
This is a very good idea for a sitcom, but I didn't enjoy watching it. I continued only because many people had claimed that it gets better.
I don't know why this sitcom became massively popular. The vast majority of the characters are dull (such as Gavin), annoying (such as Stacey) or obnoxious (such as Gavin's best friend Smithy and Stacey's best friend Nessa). None of them are likable.
Smithy is the sort of arrogant loudmouth that many of us have had the misfortune of meeting. He has no respect for personal boundaries and thinks he's 'the king of banter' - but is actually a loud and overbearing idiot.
Nessa (a poor, fat, plain woman) frequently boasts about all the wonderful adventures she's had and the celebrities she's known - and no-one challenges her on any of it.
