Valentine's Special: As Time Goes By vs Gavin & Stacey

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST.

Its Valentine's Day and love is in the air so to celebrate Rob Turnbull and Alex Lynch do a compare and contrast of two classic, romantic comedy sitcoms; AS TIME GOES BY and GAVIN & STACEY.

Is there a meet-cute? Does anyone dash to the airport? Are there crossed wires or mistaken identity? Does boy meet girl, boy get girl, boy loose girl, boy get girl back? Or does girl do all the hard work?

We look at the tropes, characters and set ups in these two shows and ask if they really do embody rom-com.
