What's occurring became famous as the catchphrase of Nessa Jenkins in the BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey, created by Ruth Jones and James Corden and first broadcast in 2007. Played by Ruth Jones, Nessa is from Barry in Wales and uses the phrase as her everyday greeting. The show's popularity, repeats and later Christmas specials helped the line enter everyday British speech. Clips and soundboard versions now circulate on social media, where fans use it as a shorthand hello linked to the series.

Short clip of Nessa from Gavin & Stacey saying her catchphrase what's occurring in her Welsh accent, used for greetings and reaction videos and memes.
This is Nessa Jenkins delivering her signature greeting what's occurring in a flat, deadpan Welsh tone. The line is short and instantly recognisable, with a slight rise that makes it sound both casual and demanding at the same time. Played on its own it lands as a funny hello, but dropped into a conversation it signals confusion, curiosity or playful nosiness. The humour comes from the contrast between the ordinary question and Nessa's completely unbothered delivery, which makes even a simple check in feel like a catchphrase moment viewers remember.
