The beauty of the BBC comedy Gavin & Stacey is that, unlike most recent sitcoms, it's actually quite an old fashioned family oriented show, perhaps more akin to the likes of 'Only Fools and Horses' than anything that's hit the public consciousness in recent times.
Most importantly, the characters are allowed to breath and we come to really empathise with them, even when they're involved in fairly mundane, everyday activities.
I admit I'm a latecomer to the show, missing most of its first series on BBC3 but still it's a bonafide little gem. Sitcoms can try to be too clever sometimes. This just pitches itself perfectly.
