    I'm wondering if I'm the only one who never saw it.

    I have never seen it. The only thing I ever watch on the box is MOTD. I've been re-watching the Barchester Chronicles on the net and it shows how much the BBC has declined in the last 30 years. Today it is all PC rubbish and lies.

    My wife and I watched. Neither of us could see the attraction.
    Didn't laugh once.

    Its ok, i assumed it was only popular in south wales because thats where its based. People seem to either love it or hate it, its like anything on BBC nothing to controversial.

    I saw the later series of Stella before trying G & S - and found the latter as not being in the same league.

    Nope.....I always liked the series but this WAS badly written and dated......a bit embarrassing at times.

    Like most Christmas comedies, they nearly all revolve around the calamities of trying to cook Christmas dinner. Not one laugh out loud moment, pretty shite actually. And that Stacy character makes no effort whatsoever to speak with a Barry accent ( an accent that’s more Kaardiff than Kaaardiff, if you get my drift). Gives Rob Brydon a chance to churn a song out, he needs to stick to Would I Lie To You, more laughs in one minute of that than the whole of Gavin & Stacy. And, yes, James Cordon isn’t a likeable chap at all.

    Bryn was shite
    Nessa was okay but the accent was very forced

    Well I thought it was brilliant. You have to have watched it before to get it mind.
    11 odd million people watched it so most must like it.

    My 17 year old son loves it.I think it’s bang average. It’s safe viewing. Not much more to be said really.

    It was ok, passable but nothing spectacular. Not as good as the original series

    Christmas specials do tend to be a bit of a let down

    I saw about 5 minutes of it once and thought it a poor documentary; although some people were trying to tell me it was intended as comedy. I pointed out that anything with James Condom in it could never be funny.

    There was much publicity after to say that it had the highest viewing figures on BBC for 10 years. Having started to watch it before giving up I can only conclude that its high viewing figures was down to the fact that there was nothing else on.

    The UK office had a good Xmas special. Any others?

    Have watched all G&S before but not seen this one yet.

    I did watch Mrs Brown's Boys though. Not because I intended to, it just came came on so I watched it.

    Most exciting part was realising Curtly Watts was in the episode.

    The House Of Fools Christmas special a few years ago was superb.

    The original storyline was a great idea, and plenty of comedy could be milked from it, but it’s now been kicked to death.

    Appalling, embarrassing and about as funny as root canal treatment.
