Gavin and Stacey - series three and the BBC's mental DVD release schedule

Posted on December 7, 2009 | 4 comments |

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 hate you Sky+ - Caerdydd's back and you didn't tell me!

Posted on July 15, 2009 | Post a comment |

Caerdydd - Series Four

A while ago, I mentioned the virtues of Sky+. 'Series link' was one of those virtues - press the magic green button when you have an item selected in the TV planner and it'll record the entire series for you.

Except, apparently, if it's a new series. I've been scouring the listings for a while now but completely failed to notice that series four of Caerdydd has been running for five weeks now! Five weeks! And Sky+, despite that series link having been set up for series three, has been ignoring series four completely. Damn you Sky+!

Anyway, thanks to the miracle of the Internet, we can catch up through the S4C web site, although there's only four days left to watch the first episode before it disappears. I heartily encourage you all to watch it right now if you're not because it's ace. You can get Welsh or English subtitles online, so don't you be a-worrying you won't understand what's going on.

Incidentally, I have Dylan over at shitclic.blogspot.com to thank for this information - go visit him, too, because he's a very kind and useful person!

Hey Rob. Love the site - I log on regularly to get my daily fix for TV news and reviews. I noticed you were an avid fan of the popular Welsh soap-drama "Caerdydd" on S4C last year... and surprised you haven't mentioned the third series currently shown on Sundays at 9pm (repeated with onscreen subtitles for our English friends ;-) on Thursdays at 10.30pm. Check out the great new mini-website www.s4c-caerdydd.co.uk... oh, and my tv blog in the lingo of heaven as noted!

Cheers/Hwyl fawr!

Dylan

See? Kind and useful.

Just as a quick reminder, here's how series three ended. And for all you Torchwood lovers, here's Ianto Jones (aka Gareth David-Lloyd) when he appeared on the show opposite Siwan Morris.
