Thing we've been watching

Gavin and Stacey, probably on BBC America.

It's a romantic comedy done in 6 parts. An excellent antidote to stress, although there's only one mature adult character -- Gavin's father, Mick. Everybody else has a problem or two, but they are realistic, real-people problems.

Fun.
