Gavin and Stacey has been something of a little phenomenon, winning awards aplenty and appealing to a wide cross-section of ages. Its success lies in creating a skewed but completely believable world populated by eccentric but lovable characters. Its essential sweetness is ideal for disguising the odd completely filthy gag or piercing satirical observation (the surnames of Gavin and Stacey being Shipman and West is only the tip of the iceberg. Here, for example, a police incident report recalling Gavin leaping a ticket barrier evokes uncomfortable parallels with the De Menezes case).
James Corden and Ruth Jones are not only wonderful performers but write with real comic insight into the quirkiness of life and the human condition.

If you are a G+S fan, you will enjoy this book.It has lots of insights into all the characters, and in a most unusual format-text messages, recipes, letters, and a whole lot more.It was written by the hugely talented Corden and Jones.I, for one, hope they'll relent and give us a third series.
Buy this book, you won't be disappointed.

In fact, it makes a really nice accompaniment to the show as there's so much detailed (and hilarious) information about the characters and settings.
There's a lot to choose from, but I think my favourite page would have to be Smithy's relationship do's and don'ts ("It's completely natural to own up to a dozen porno videos so don't let her tell you any different") although the heartfelt (if one-sided!) correspondence between Nessa and John Prescott is a ...
