Sharon awakes in the night worrying about her pregnancy, and the state of the world. She is frequently simultaneously horny and depressed. In a bookshop, she bumps into old flame Owen, whom she dumped years ago. Owen takes her to dinner at a restaurant. Owen tells her that he is in a long-term relationship with a successful author who is now pregnant by him. His success makes Sharon feel like a failure. It’s likely because of this that the show feels so rooted in reality. On screen, Rob and Sharon deal with addiction, infidelity and death with equal parts patience and love and resilience. But it’s never saccharine. Their humour is dry, brash and kind of gross. And their marriage is sturdy and no bullshit – which in its own way can be incredibly romantic. Rob and Sharon deal with addiction, infidelity and death with equal parts patience and love and resilience.

We keep being told that we need immigration as our population ages to fill all the vacancies, and to keep the public finances stable. And yet that is looking less and less true all the time. Professor David Miles, member of the Budget Responsibility Committee at the Office for Budget Responsibility, argued in a paper published in September that very often the overall quality of life is better in countries with static or even shrinking populations. “Predictions of dire effects” from falling populations, he wrote, “are implausible”. Rob is attracted to a new French colleague Olivia Vasseur, who has recently transferred from the company's Paris office. She tells him that she has noticed him looking at her and that she wants to fellate him. He tells his manager Harita that he is quitting, but Harita convinces him to stay by offering him a large pay increase.

There is, however, one set of statistics in which the UK is still booming. Net migration. According to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, the number of people coming to the UK hit an estimated 672,000 in the year to June, while the figure for the whole of 2022 was revised up to an astonishing 745,000.

For more than two decades now the UK has been trapped in a low-skill, low-wage, high immigration cycle. Companies don’t invest in machinery or training because it is always cheaper simply to bring in foreign workers instead. And because they haven’t invested they need more and more people to keep filling all the vacancies. We can’t blame businesses for that. They are simply adapting to the economy they are part of. But it means that the UK remains dependent on more and more cheap foreign workers. I started to watch this years ago and stopped. I can't remember why. This time around, I was liking it, but then I just got dragged down by how toxic the two were to each other at times and to people around them. I don't know anyone like that, nor would I tolerate them if I did. It's hard to like a series when you can't stand the protagonists...but there is a lot of funny lines in this, so there's that.

My wife, 41, and I, 45, love Gavin and Stacey, largely due to the fine writing and interesting character development of the show's supporting players, Ruth Jones and James Corden.

In S02, the woman is bad-mouthing everyone within earshot and then wonders why a woman she admires doesn't want to be around her. Maybe it's because you are freaking horrible. Ever consider that? And isn't it the other woman's ownbusiness to hang out or not hang out with his horrible wife? So why would he berate her in public for the fact that his wife is a hag?

Rob is having problems generating business for the advertising agency. Whilst shopping, he sees Fran, so avoids her and is pleased to run into Chris. Chris suggests he change career path to become a vet - which is what he wanted to do before he went into advertising. When Rob asks Sharon what she thinks of his plan to study and become a vet in a zoo, she strongly discourages him from doing so. Living standards have fallen. Net after tax earnings have gone down, and so have the numbers of self-employed, and participation in the labour market. Rob wakes from a nightmare but then feels playful toward half-awake Sharon.

She meets up with Samantha and has a brief conversation with her, but Samantha finds her needy and soon rejects her. There is a consensus that immigration always and everywhere increases the growth rate and makes us all richer. Sometimes, of course, it does. Every vibrant economy should be open to new people, new skills, and exceptional talents, and we have plenty of evidence to show that entrepreneurs, artists, and political leaders are often predominantly drawn from a highly-driven, ambitious and hard-working immigrant population. And, of course, companies need access to a global talent pool if they are to build world-class businesses. Few people think it a good idea that Rob marry Sharon. His American mother, Mia, telephones and tells him to come home and forget about the pregnancy, because the authorities cannot chase him for child support there. He tells Mia that he is having a son and will raise him. Rob phones Dave, an American who is his only friend in London; he is puzzled by Rob's intention to marry Sharon.

Sharon finds it an acceptable replacement for Mad Men and Game of Thrones not being on; Rob wants to turn it off and have sex; she seems open to the idea but only on the condition that she gets to first watch the beginning of the next show. Perhaps sensing that this verdict is a letdown for Rob, Sharon puts her legs onto his—an imposition, yes, but potentially also a sign of affection. He’s not having taking it as one. After asking her to move her legs, he does it for her with a not-so-gentle fling. And then we’re off into a fight.Rob leaves the family home, Sharon is furious at finding out about the sexual harassment claim at work.
