Why Gavin and Stacey was filmed in WalesBBC
Transcript
00:00I went to a wedding in Barry Island with an ex-girlfriend of mine, and all her family were from Barry.
00:07And it was one of those weddings, I didn't really know that many people, so quite a long day.
00:13Because my girlfriend, you know, there was lots of her family and stuff, for a lot of the day at various points, I was just sort of sat on my own.
00:18And I said, you know, it really struck me that I've never really seen a wedding like this on TV.
00:25And we started talking more and more about it, really, and the groom was from England, not Essex, but England, and the bride was from Barry.
00:33So it was really these cultures coming together, these places that were very, very similar and yet completely different.
00:40And Ruth just kept saying, James, I think we should try and write this, and thank God we did, you know.
