Okay - I talked about this on the FA/FFA board, but I thought it was relevant on the Main Board too, in a big folks succeeding and being visible in the media way...
I just watched the first two series of the comedy show Gavin and Stacey (or as I think of it: "Nessa and Smithy").... And I bought it partly cos of all the samples played on Radio 1, but let's face it mainly cos of the lovely, talented BBW Ruth Jones character: Nessa - she's a woman in charge of her own sexual destiny, she's been all over the world and taken many lovers, she takes no shit, speaks italian and can drive a truck... :smitten: Of course, some people would call Nessa "trashy"...
Pics in character:
Oh and for the FFAs - there's BHM James Cordon as Smithy too:
James and Ruth actually write the show as well as starring in it! Personally I think it's hella funny and they're both ace, smart and funny and Ruth is "lush" as Nessa would say...
Here they are together, out of character:
A few clips - although I think it's a show that works best in context...

Apparently there's going to be a US remake, NBC bought the rights...
