There's also Gavin And Stacy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AZxRBMECQU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AZxRBMECQU (I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner!) For the non-English readers, the two girls are Welsh, the two boys are from (if I recall correctly) south Essex (a suburb north of London).

  I'd forgotten how random Ross Noble is. > Sunderland is about an hour away from newcastle. Not even that. Newcastle and Middlesbrough are about an hour apart (just down the A19); Sunderland is less than half the distance away.
