Storyline

After a series of misunderstandings over the phone Gavin drives to Barry where Gwen initially mistakes him for a Jehovah's Witness but, after sharing fish and chips on the sea-front with her, Gavin takes Stacey back to Essex. Pam mistakenly thinks he has blacked her eye after Stacey dons shades to mask a spot but all is resolved as the group attend a pub quiz with bickering couple Dawn and Pete, compered by a drunken Smithy. Next day, as he sees her onto her train, Gavin proposes to Stacey, who accepts before he is held by armed police on suspicion of being a terrorist, after he accesses the platform without a ticket.

Stacey's trip
20 June 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Haven recently proclaimed their love for each other, Gavin & Stacey feel the first pangs of a long-distance relationship (well more Stacey who flies of the handle at the smallest thing), so Gavin drives all the way up there to invite Stacey over his parent's house for a few days.

While this episode wasn't as good all the way through as the first was, only slightly less so, as it still definitely had it's moments and more then retained my interests in the series. Byrn's scenes, the whole 'abuse' incident, and the ending won me over. Shaping up to be a wonderfully great series.

My Grade: B+
