Oh! Look at that. Yes - that. It's an ad for Gavin & Stacey series three on DVD. You can buy it now. In fact, I have a copy already.
What do you mean they've only shown two episodes of it on TV so far?
Yes, in the bizarre world of the BBC DVD release schedule, "a third of the way through a series" is a good time to release a show on DVD, presumably in time for Christmas.
So, here's my quandary. Should I watch the DVD (two discs, including one disc of extras) and spoil myself, or watch at the same speed as everyone else?
We've already watched the next two episodes and I'll tell you something for nothing, there's a great fight scene with Stacey. Episode 3 is also great for in-jokes. I'll say no more than that until Friday.

I noticed they've released Life as well, and I think that's still on. Bonkers. Like you say. Looking forward to Stacey's great fight scene now. Thought the piss up last week was hilarious.

If you can watch them, best to do so. Someone will only ruin something for you if you don't.

I don't get it: some stuff you feel like you've entered into a 12 round boxing match with the BBC to persuade them to release the DVD; this comes out whilst they (possibly?!) still want a live audience for the ratings? Non comprende.

There's already fuss in the Mail and the Telegraph about it. Apparently, it reduces licence fee payers' contributions to production.
