Essex and Wales collide when Gavin and Stacey fall in love, bringing their friends, family and baggage with them.. Except for the scenes shot on location in London in the first episode, the whole series was filmed in Wales, including the scenes set in Essex. The house which was used as the Shipmans’ (Gavin’s family) house is located in Dinas Powys, a village 1 mile North West of Barry, where the Wests (Stacey’s family) live.. In series 3, both Bryn and Gavin’s cars have completely different registration numbers from the previous series. Gavin’s blue Saxo has changed from a T-reg (MY 1999) to an X-reg (MY 2000). Bryn’s green Picasso has changed from CV02 (MY 2002, registered in Cardiff) to HV54 (MY 2004, registered in Portsmouth). They are obviously different cars.. Featured in Gavin & Stacey: Outtakes (2007). RunBy Stephen FretwellPerformed by Stephen Fretwell. I must say I can’t quite understand the previous reviewer, as I think they are on a different planet to anyone else and I felt compelled to put the record straight.Gavin & Stacey is one of the best comedies I have seen in recent years. It features a wonderful cast and a brilliantly written script form Ruth Jones and James Cordon. The program is set around Gavin (an Essex boy) and Stacey (a receptionist from Barry Island) who begin their relationship over the phone when they are at work. Feedback from the series has been so good that a second series has already been commissioned.
