'My Gavin & Stacey joke was just a red herring'

Steven Meo's role as Owain Hughes in Gavin & Stacey left viewers scratching their heads.

"Hi, nice to meet you. [I'm] Gavin Shipman," Gavin tells his new colleague Owain, after starting a job in Cardiff in series three.

"Owain Hughes," responds Owain, adding: "And before you ask, no I don't!"

The apparent joke prompts laughter from Owain and the boss, while Gavin looks baffled.

What did the joke mean? According to Meo, absolutely nothing.

"It was literally just a red herring designed to wind people up," he told the BBC.
