Gavin & Stacey

Episode 1.1

After being phone buddies for months Gavin and Stacey finally arrange a rendezvous in Leicester Square, with Stacey's best friend Nessa and Gav's pal Smithy coming along for support. The pairs end up in a hotel room getting to know each other a bit better under the sheets (or in the en-suite in Smithy and Nessa's case).
