Bryn: “It is, Gavin, it is, provided you remember the one golden rule, and I’ll tell you what, it took me a while to get my head round it. What it is, you have to start everything with ‘w-w-w-dot’. And the best thing to do is to think of something to help remind you, like with me now, I think of ‘whiskey with water’ which was my brother – God rest his soul – my brother’s favourite drink. But it could be anything. I mean, you could say… come on, three w’s. Um… ‘women… wearing wings’. No, don’t say that, that’s a terrible one.” Gwen West ( Melanie Walters) – Stacey's caring, widowed mother. She also has an elder son, Jason, who lives in Spain. Smithy: “I’ve been thinking about ending it all to be honest, suicide…big time. How many Nurofen would I need to finish me off?” Bryn on Smithy] “He’s a lovely looking boy. Not in the conventional sense, like Gavin or Enrique Iglesias, but he’s got a lovely spirit. A confidence, if you will, that you rarely find in a fat man.”

Stacey: “I had a brunch I did. Oh, I got up so late cos I set the alarm for ten but I didn’t get up till gone eleven and I thought well I’m too early for lunch and I’m too late for breakfast, so I just had a banana. But if anything that made me more hungry. So I ended up having a sandwich, some cereal and a yoghurt, which is brunch innit? So I rang my mum and I said I’ve just had my first ever brunch.”
