Further details
Gaynor has a furious row with her mother and storms out of the house. The girls come to the rescue and they spend a day "up town" in Coventry. They diagnose her with depression - based on a glossy magazine Q&A - and, while perusing the High Street, they resolve to cheer her up with a romantic mission: to hook her up with the one that got away; Paul Walsh. Tracing him on the Cov grapevine, however, proves an arduous task and their eventual reunion is not without its obstacles...

Taking her UCAS form round to Becky's last week failed to sort Gaynor out with the job of her dreams, so perhaps she'll have more luck with the man part of her checklist, especially now that Liam-Gallagher-lookalike Paul Walsh is back in town. The premise is simple - grown-up women acting like teenage girls - but it's still very funny, especially when Gaynor calls her mum a "life-sapping dickhead". She's not wrong.
Andrew Mueller, The Guardian, 28th September 2009By studying what made Gavin & Stacey such a success, this sadcom offers an antidote to its predecessor's optimism and happy-go-lucky charm. Featuring emotionally distant parents and bitter schoolchums as opposed to tight-knit families and strong schooldays pals, it's no shock that prodigal daughter Gaynor - who's returned home at the age of 29 - ends up in a massive ruck with her mum. Still, her buddies help by tracking down Gaynor's old flame Paul Walsh, the one that got away...
