If only it was just the two of them. Gavin is an ordinary boy from Essex. Stacey is an ordinary girl from South Wales. The result is a double BAFTA award-winning hit BBC comedy that has become the biggest show since Little Britain. For the first time, Gavin, Stacey, and friends take us on their journey from Barry to Billericay. Fans will delight at materials such as Gavin and Stacey’s family trees, character profiles, maps of Barry and Billericay with key sights and landmarks, Pam’s favorite vegetarian recipes—including the cheese omelette, Nessa’s secret diary—including how she really met John Prescott, Gavin and Stacey’s e-mails before they met, Smithy’s top nights out in Billericay, script extracts, jokes, quizzes, and crosswords. The making of the show is also detailed, including outtakes, the original treatment, unseen photos, and much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars
very funny,
By severina margarita (sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gavin & Stacey: From Barry to Billericay (Hardcover)
you have to have watched the first 2 seasons to understand the jokes, but it's a fantastic book. i especially liked bryn's diary, and the emails between gavin and stacey. nessa's and smithy's sections were fun... okay, the whole thing is good! though $20 is a bit pricey for it... it's definitely worth $15 or so.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book to accompany an even greater show!!,

This review is from: Gavin & Stacey: From Barry to Billericay (Hardcover)
This book is a great addition to the show. It really brings the characters out and you learn so much about the families. The books is pretty thick and full of great content. I have yet to get through the whole book because each page is something different and I have not yet gotten bored. There are various tidbits from each character like many of character's facebook pages (Gavin, Bryn, Stacey etc.), Essential Facts by Nessa, Doris' dating tips for Girls and Boys, Bryns film recommendations, Smithy's Home-Brew instructions, one of my favorite was Stacey's break-up letters to her ex-fiances explaining why she was breaking up or dumping them lol. There are pictures, ratings and descriptions of each of her past fiances, which was quite fun to read. Another one of my favorites so far was Gavin's Terrorist Incident Report, which is the report that was written by the police after Gavin jumped the turnstill and was arrested while proposing to Stacey, it was a very funny read. There is so much more in this book but I'll update my review when I've gotten through more of the book. So far it has been full of laughs and great and intersting facts. James Corden and Ruth Jones have outdone themselves once again.

I don't know if it is because of the Postal shut downs in England or what... But I was supposed to receive this about 3 weeks ago and have yet to get it!
