People want to take offence for the sack of it, there is no need to change such an iconic song

Stop trying to change the past and instead try to change the future

It's not a discussion about the word within the song.

It's a discussion on the inclusion of that song in the context of the episode in the first place. They did NOT need to use that song, but they chose it on purpose. That's what has pissed people off.

That's the kind of song those characters would choose to sing, it's fitting They don't "need" to make the show at all, and people don't "need" to choose to get offended over nothing

I thought it was a bit odd at first, everyone looking older, things feeling different (Dawn's facelift ) but then as soon as she pulled that spliff out of her bag it was business as usual and it was a great episode.

Yes because that is what they would have done 10 years ago, changing the show would not make it the same.

They stayed true to the characters

Was there a thing about saying ******?

Gays would do better reclaiming the word like they have with queer, not getting offended

STUNNING EPISODE.

The episode started to get its momentum when Dawnie and Pete arrived. From that point forth it was flawless. They honestly couldn't have done it any better.

I'm glad it did so well in the ratings, though it was inevitable.

I enjoyed it. My favourite part was when Gavin and Stacey were stood at Barry Island and Last Request started playing. It brought back so many memories from the past ten years, felt so surreal

Dawn and Pete were only in it for about 5 minutes but managed to steal the show
