Stereotyping- Gavin and Stacey

This is a screenshot from the modern sitcom "Gavin and Stacey" which first began in 2007. The character in this screenshot is called 'Nessa' and is the bestfreind of Stacey. She is a very boisterous lady who works in an arcade in Wales.

The sign's in the window of her booth show how she is not a lady-like person. Such as "Threatening behaviour will NOT be tolerated". In this scene she actually threatens two young boys who are shaking a machine to retreive prizes. The stereotyping in this sitcom is still rather humourous because they are always talking over the phone but then so are all the male characters. The women are more involved in the sitcom than the earlier "Fawlty Towers" showing women have become more independant within the media.
