2025-02-04 13:42:43 +0000 UTCHere’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

2025-02-01 21:14:54 +0000 UTCThere’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)

2025-02-01 21:09:26 +0000 UTCThat Welsh show was Pobol Y Cwm (pobble ee cum…), means People of the Valley, it’s a long-running Welsh soap opera
Kieran B
2025-02-01 21:07:29 +0000 UTCThought the give and take joke might have got something there 😂
Kieran B
2025-02-01 21:04:14 +0000 UTCThere’s definitely water in the background, it’s Barry *Island* 😄 (although to be fair it’s not actually an island)
Kieran B
2025-02-01 20:52:54 +0000 UTCLots of people do, but it’s not, it’s just meant to be a Welsh in-joke that no one else understands

2025-02-01 20:49:51 +0000 UTC2 episodes after this season, 1 is a Christmas special and one isn't but was released at Christmas

2025-01-30 22:55:49 +0000 UTCI assumed the joke was "do you owe Wayne Hughes"?

2025-01-30 22:37:08 +0000 UTCAw, I forgot about the way they ended this episode. I see that the final was a callback to this, then.

2025-01-30 21:57:18 +0000 UTCI don't know. That T.V. Show started sounding like Gelf to me.
Joe Thornhill
2025-01-30 21:34:19 +0000 UTCYou fucking what?! LOL!
Joe Thornhill
2025-01-30 20:57:35 +0000 UTCYep, pam ferris, she was also in darling buds of May with David Jason, and she played the midwife in children of men
Dave Jones
2025-01-30 20:26:56 +0000 UTCI never realized that 😂
Andy Davies
2025-01-30 20:23:38 +0000 UTCYeah it was Welsh. My Granny spoke Welsh I regret that I didn’t take advantage of that and learn some more .
Erica
2025-01-30 20:19:38 +0000 UTCIt'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.

2025-01-30 20:09:03 +0000 UTCSmithy's sister, Sheridan Smith, has become a bit of a national treasure, good actress, multi talented - got a voice on her

2025-01-30 19:55:37 +0000 UTCThere's this series/season for you, then two more specials.

2025-01-30 19:28:47 +0000 UTCYes 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.

2025-01-30 18:01:39 +0000 UTCGoing 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.
Daniel Davies
2025-01-30 17:49:49 +0000 UTCEnjoyed that. Still amazes me the vitriol surrounding a lovely well made middle of the road comedy

Jamie
2025-01-30 17:36:39 +0000 UTCThe 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.
