Gavin & Stacey Season 1

The initial series begins with the lives of the titular characters, Gavin Shipman (Mathew Horne) and Stacey West (Joanna Page). Gavin is 28 and lives at home in Billericay, Essex, with his parents Mick (Larry Lamb) and Pam Shipman best friends Nessa Jenkins (Ruth Jones) and Neil "Smithy" Smith (James Corden) for supposed double dates. The night ends with Gavin and Stacey returning to the hotel room and sleeping together, as do Smithy and Nessa. The couple become infatuated with each other, but Smithy and Nessa are happy to forget their drunken one-night stand and make little contact with one another afterwards. In the rest of the series, the couple continue their long distance relationship before becoming engaged and getting married. The series ends with Nessa going to inform Smithy that he is the father of her child but changes her mind at the last minute.
