Thank you for saying Welsh sounds pretty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 heartwarming

Craig Burns

Nothing to do with having and stacey at all but ive been watching a wacky comedy called bad education and I know how much you love kids swearing and giving it to the adults I think u would love it

Kieran B

Here’s a classic Welsh folk song - Wales is famous for its music and there’s some decent Welsh-language bands and artists that aren’t well known outside of Wales https://youtu.be/TD6ysZEaqS4?si=XIl0oCXIF0dWeIBX

Kieran B

There’s a good 12 min video here from S4C (the Welsh channel) of Ruth Jones learning Welsh https://youtu.be/ey_BFApfReA?si=G1fi6vP0XaLNQV4g And another one of Jo Scanlan who plays Terri in The Thick of It doing the same https://youtu.be/ICYx5wr1FUM?si=WeeF9juycpg2Pcdj (I could have sworn they had subtitles, I think I might have watched on BBC iPlayer where there tends to be)

Kieran B

That Welsh show was Pobol Y Cwm (pobble ee cum…), means People of the Valley, it’s a long-running Welsh soap opera

Kieran B

Thought the give and take joke might have got something there 😂

Kieran B

There’s definitely water in the background, it’s Barry *Island* 😄 (although to be fair it’s not actually an island)

Kieran B

Lots of people do, but it’s not, it’s just meant to be a Welsh in-joke that no one else understands

Daniel whitehouse

2 episodes after this season, 1 is a Christmas special and one isn't but was released at Christmas

Kathryn Edwards

She’s also Aunt Marg from Harry Potter haha (the one that inflates and flies away 😂)

Tasha

Yay! Not me checking daily for more of these

FRER Productions

Yep 2 Christmas specials

Chris H

I assumed the joke was "do you owe Wayne Hughes"?

Joe Thornhill

Aw, I forgot about the way they ended this episode. I see that the final was a callback to this, then.

Joe Thornhill

I don't know. That T.V. Show started sounding like Gelf to me.

Joe Thornhill

You fucking what?! LOL!

Dave Jones

Yep, pam ferris, she was also in darling buds of May with David Jason, and she played the midwife in children of men

Andy Davies

I never realized that 😂

Erica

Yeah it was Welsh. My Granny spoke Welsh I regret that I didn’t take advantage of that and learn some more .

It's interesting that this and Peep Show did a Christening episode around the same time, when it's hardly a done thing any more in the UK, according to recent figures. I wasn't baptized when I was born 40 years ago, but I was very much in the minority to not have been, back then, but only a minority do it now.

ThetaSigmaTheOriginal

Oh and yous?

Mark Jephson

Smithy's sister, Sheridan Smith, has become a bit of a national treasure, good actress, multi talented - got a voice on her

ThetaSigmaTheOriginal

There's this series/season for you, then two more specials.

Cain Culley

2 specials to come at the end of this season, 2019 and 2024

Yes it was a made-up joke to highlight the confusion of an Essex person trying to understand the humour of a different culture. Slightly inaccuracies with Gavin's new boss and work colleague in that they both have a more West/ Mid Walian accent not a South East WalesBarry/Cardiff accent (like Nessa and Dave) and they referred to playing Rugby 7-a-side when Cardiff and Barry are more football (soccer) towns amongst the populous.

Dave Jones

smithys mother played the demonic teacher in matilda miss trunchball

Baswell

Smithy's Mum is Miss Trunchbull!

Daniel Davies

Going into school after this episode aired was brilliant. Everyone was just shouting ‘You slag!’ To each other in the halls and corridors, it was amazing. The teachers had to ban the phrase after that and when they told us in assembly, some students did shout ‘You slag!’ at the teachers. They got detention for it, but we were all just rolling with laughter.

Jamie

Enjoyed that. Still amazes me the vitriol surrounding a lovely well made middle of the road comedy

Jamie

If you don't get it now you never will

Rach

The Owain Hughes joke is meaningless, it's just supposed to be indicative of cultural differences. There's a fan theory going around but the makers have said there is no explanation.
