Gavin & Stacey: I still get recognised for my single cult scene

“A great bit of the comedy in Gavin and Stacey comes from the differences in cultures between Wales and England, and I think that was just Ruth [Jones] playing a little joke,” Meo added.

“The amount of people you see online going ‘no I know what it is, I’m Welsh, I know what it is!’

“[But] it was literally just to throw a curveball.”

Meo, who is currently starring in a West End production of Fawlty Towers, still gets recognised for Gavin and Stacey.

“Whenever I do anything new on TV there’s always an article that reads ‘Gavin and Stacey star unrecognisable in new role’, and I kind of want to say ‘it was 15 years ago mate!’”

Meo credits the quality of the scripts for Gavin and Stacey’s enduring legacy.

“There’s a lot of love, a lot of hope and a lot of redemption,” he said.

“It’s essentially a feel good comedy with really endearing characters and really endearing family units, and you root for them.”
