Title: How quickly things change [DotD 6.4.2020] Post by: grahame on April 06, 2020, 07:33:32 I watched the original (Series 1, Episode 1) Gavin and Stacey on iPlayer last night ... and (perhaps a link I followed, perhaps a co-incidence) later read a piece about just how much had changed since then - with all the smoking indoors, the flip phones, the paying of Severn Bridge tolls.
