00:00Gavin and Stacey is beyond iconic. The characters, the heartache, the hilarious moments but possibly
00:09most iconic of all is here in Barry Island. The show wouldn't be the same without this
00:14incredible location and people across the world now know what Barry Island is and it's
00:19turned into place into a kind of pilgrimage for so many fans of the show.
00:23We've got Ness' Slots here behind me. It's one of the most famous locations on the show
00:28and gave us the times that Ness and Bryn practiced a song Something Stupid together.
00:34Or you've got when Gavin, Stacey, Nessa and Smithy sat here as the camera panned away
00:39over the sea as the original series came to an end. There are so many different iconic
00:43locations but so many more outside of Barry Island that made the show so unforgettable.
00:51And just a short drive away from the island we get to some of the most well-known houses
00:55from the TV show. Here behind me of course we've got Gwen's house where way too much
00:58happened to even begin to talk about the best moments. But you can just see how important
01:03the show is as it's still decked out with plenty of Gavin and Stacey posters and things
01:07to show visitors. And of course just across the other side of the street we have Bryn's
01:12house but I'm not too sure if he's still got his gym in the upstairs bedroom anymore.
01:17And then we take the long old drive all the way down the M4 to get here in Billericay.
01:22But it isn't really, it's actually not too far from Barry, just a quarter of an hour's
01:25drive in Dinas Powys. It doesn't have the same posters up telling you all about the
01:29show so I can't be sure if there is forthcoming with visitors. You do have to remember Gwen's
01:34house in Barry and Pam and Mick's house here in Billericay are people's homes so as much
01:39as they might be comfortable with passers-by it's important to respect their privacy.
01:44There are so many more iconic places we could have seen from Dave Coach's caravan to all
01:49the locations around the centre of Cardiff where they filmed Nights Out. Every single
01:54location a single piece of Gavin and Stacey's amazing jigsaw.
