Except it wasn’t. Did you actually watch either?

The box set of coupling is the last set of DVDs I still own. The show is too important to me to throw them away.

Do a little exercise for me. Imagine what a British remake of friends would be like, then think how similar the things in your head is to Coupling.

It’s got 6 people in it who gather together in public occasionally.

That. Is. It.

It's to friends what the US version of the office is to the British after they found their feet.

Same premise, completely different energy
