In episode 3, both Bryn’s and Gavin’s car license plates are completely different from previous episodes. Gavin’s Blue Saxo changed from T-reg (MY 1999) to X-reg (MY 2000). Bryn’s green Picasso was converted from CV02 (MY 2002 registered Cardiff) to HV54 (MY 2004 registered Portsmouth). They are obviously different cars. Submitted by Gavin & Stacey: Outtakes (2007).

I have to say that I can’t quite understand the previous reviewer as I think they are on a different planet than everyone else so I felt obliged to explain. Gavin & Stacey is one of the best sitcoms I’ve seen in years. It has an amazing cast and a brilliantly written script by Ruth Jones and James Corden. The show revolves around Gavin (a boy from Essex) and Stacey (a receptionist from Barry Island) who start their relationship over the phone while at work. The series was so well received that a second series has already been ordered.
