Something to bare in mind now the fishing trip has been bought up. There’s subtle hints throughout the series that uncle Bryn could be secretly gay. His reaction to Smithy jokingly giving him a kiss, the comments about Gavin being a lovely looking lad, and just his general behaviour and expressions when he’s around young men. You’ll notice if you look out for it.

This episode always makes me smile as I lived in Cardiff for a couple of years and had a fair few nights out there. When Nessa mentions Caroline Street, it's a bit of a blast from the past for me - locally known as "Chippy Lane" as it's full of fast food outlets which are swimming with drunk people in the small hours.) The infamous "Fishing Trip" saga has started and it's a solid unspoken joke that they keep running for a while. I can't actually remember if they ever confirm it but it's been a while since I've seen the show to be fair! I love Nessa's "I'll have a pint......of wine!" - funnier for a British person I think as we drink beer / cider in pints where the USA doesn't as far as I'm aware. Wine is never ordered in pints though.....unless you're Nessa. :p Chinese Alan is just called that because of his love of Chinese food but as we'd only heard his name up to this point, the assumption is that he's actually Chinese.....and then he walks in as a local boy. *LOTS* of pop culture references that would go over most people's heads unless they grew up in the UK in this episode. I do think G&S in general is such a British show but I also think British comedy in general is far less "international" than American comedy. It isn't to say I have watched an American sitcom and not got a reference, but I just think they're written with an International audience in mind where British comedies are written for a British audience predominantly..... we're selfish like that! Haha! Great reaction though, Josh! As I've said many times, the characters, the overriding mood and humour of a show is what's mostly important and we're here to fill in any blanks when it comes to culture references! It's a sweet and very funny show G&S and I look forward to continuing watching along on here with you!

In the club when smithy and Gavin are talking to her and they say Gavin is Preston from the band the ordinary boys and smithy is “the fat one” from G4 on the X factor, they actually really do look like them lol you should google it. At least they did at the time, around 2006

It’s disappointing isn’t it, because there’s so much of it that a lot won’t quite get the joke! The shag, marry, cruise for example. Also the boys’ nicknames, some are very rude knowing what a few mean here in London. Ah, Pop Stars…. wow, that takes me back. Noel is mentioned a few times, and not to mention some surprise cameos. Another fantastic reaction video. Bravo Josh 👏 x

Smiffy

Manly Stump

More specifically, a stutter :D

Do you recognise Gavin from the Catherine Tate Nan sketches?

Jackson Ginn

Pam kills me every scene, such a good character hahaha

Peter

I enjoyed the subtlety of the Gareth Gates joke, “I’ll take it outside, he’ll be ages”, due to him of course having a speech impediment.

Michael Harrop

Typical British nicknames that stick despite having no real meaning. Leaves it up to your imagination why he would be called Chinese Alan but it will be something trivial

Michael Harrop

Btw its Smithy not Smitty

daniel venables

There is a bar called the Dolphin in Barry

Michael Harrop

Ah the beginning of the infamous 'fishing trip'

Robert Donohoe

The joke why he called Pam "Camilla" when they were getting frisking is because Pam has a weird fetish about Prince Charles and the women he had an affair with (and is now married to) named Camilla. It comes up from time-to-time subtly.
