Coupling

Coupling has been called a 'British version of Friends' by some but realistically it's as good if not at some points, funnier than Friends and just because it has 6 main characters (3 girls 3 guys) doesn't make it the next Friends. Anyway, Friends issues aside this show is comedy gold. It follows the lives of... Jeff (the paranoid/strange guy) Patrick (the stud who has a wardrobe full of videos of women he's slept with) Steve (who can never say the right thing) Jane (the dizzy one) Susan (the down to earth blonde) Sally (the beautician obsessed with aging) The show spanned 3 good ...  Read the complete review

Most of the programmes that my daughters like I detest and can't watch most of them, mostly because they are horrors or about vampire slayers! However they do occasionally watch some little gems of programmes in which Coupling is one of them. I first watched it when they had it on DVD and found myself a little bit addicted to it. Coupling has been dubbed the British version of Friends and it is easy to see why, a comedy about three women and three men which follows their different relationships. However Coupling is a comedy strictly for those of an older age than those for Friends. It follows Steve, Susan, Jane, Sally, Patrick and Geoff who have some wickedly ...  Read the complete review

I'm still convinced that machines don't rule my life. However, during the second series of Coupling, I was happy to let it. After watching the first episode, I cleared Monday nights in my diary and ensured that I was always free come 10pm. It was worth it. Coupling has to be the finest thing to come out of the BBC.

Every episode is a masterpiece that will have you howling with laughter and marvelling at the writers' insight into the unspoken issues of the twentysomething sexual struggle. The most hilarious part has to be ...  Read the complete review

Coupling is billed a young persons comedy programme. All cast members are between 20 and 30 and have a regular meeting point (a bar). Does this seem familiar to anyone? Well you would be right in guessing that this sounds identical to the long running American comedy programme Friends. Coupling is set in London and follows the relationships of 6 friends. Well I say friends but in the first series the characters do not know each other. However gradually as the series progresses they are brought together. To even up matters there are three male (Steve, Patrick and Jeff) characters and three women (Jane, Susan and Sally). The men talk about things like porn videos and ...  Read the complete review

So good old Auntie beeb have done it again... You just have to look at the opinions for this brilliant comedy to realise its in the wrong place at the wrong time. Surely this is the beeb at its best, the storylines are witty, frighteningly funny with just enough sauce to keep you giggling for ages. The basic idea is a look not at the overdone teeny market but at the difficulites of adulthood, relationships and everyones alomst constant need to be wanted. Sex plays a big part in the psychie of this comedy but it is not t*ts out and toilet humour, instead it is a look at the bit of teenager that is left in us all as we tear ourselves into proper adulthood.. ...  Read the complete review
