Coupling - Series 1 - The Complete Series (DVD)

...£6.95 from dvd.co.uk Overall: Coupling is one of the most well written comedy series to come out of Britain in the last decade. It is shot in an unconventional way, with captions, flashbacks and even repeats in different languages.The relationships developing between the characters as they realise each others boundaries is great. Plus some of the conversations between the boys are both surreal and hilarious. Steve's monologues as he gets stressed ...
...series is only 6 episodes long you can really identify with the characters. Jeff is every pervy and slightly social inept guy rolled into one. This is sometimes repeated on UKTV Gold an is well worth a watch if you want a great dialogue based show rather than one based on more slapstick physical comedy. Will be reviewing series 2 and 3 shortly ...

Review of Coupling - Series 1 - The Complete Series (DVD)

...TV was Charlie’s Angels! Coupling will be going into its fourth series next year and the first three are already available on DVD. This review concentrates on the DVD of the first series. CAST AND CHARACTERS Coupling concentrates on a group of six thirty-something characters, who are all either friends, partners or exes – and sometimes all three at once. The three men are Patrick (Ben Miles), Jeff (Richard Coyle) and Steve (Jack Davenport). ...
...would be hard to imagine Coupling without one of the main six, so hopefully they will continue to work together. The combination of these six actors and Steven Moffat’s inspired writing is a winning one. STYLE The opening credits are bright and colourful, with a kind of 1960s feel to them. Squares in bright colours move across a dark blue background. The music is Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps by Mari Wilson and is perfect for the programme – ...

Review of Coupling - Series 1 - The Complete Series (DVD)

...that i am a BIG coupling fan, i am going to cheat because i've taken the introduction to the characters from that one and just copied it over. So if you've read this part already, just skip to the episode descriptions. Heres the back ground Information then: This is basically an english version of friends, but alot more easy to relate to. Every single one of us will have a friend like these, or at elast one or two of them. Steve and Susan are ...
...in some way, i'll explain later. Steve is a guy in the relationship, under the thumb slightly, not too sure where the relationship is going. He wants to marry Susan, he just doesn't want to marry Susan. As he describes it "Its like death, you know its imminent, you just get scared when people start mentioning dates." Susan is for want of a better word, a nympho, and thats just how steve likes it, these two are perfect for each other. There always ...

Review of Coupling - Series 1 - The Complete Series (DVD)

Coupling is one of those rare television gems that make you proud to be British. It’s often described as a British version of Friends, but really, that’s only true in the way it’s about a group of six 30-somethings looking for love, usually with hilarious consequences. Coupling is different, Steven Moffat writes about issues that we have all thought about at one time or another, yet no one has ever written about it before. For example, you know when ...
...overwhelming urge to laugh for no apparent reason? Well, that’s in there, among an endless debate about what a cushion is actually for, and exactly why do men like lesbians so much? The show focuses on the relationship between Steve (played by Jack Davenport) and Susan (played by Sarah Alexander). The audience follows them from their very first date and beyond. They’re accompanied by Susan’s age fearing best friend Sally (played by Kate Issit) and ...

Review of Coupling - Series 1 - The Complete Series (DVD)

Coupling is very similar to US sitcom 'Friends' as it follows a group of 6 friends through some very funny and real-life situations that everyone can relate to. I kind of stumbled accross Coupling one night and havent been able to turn off the telly since. I believe series one is by far the best series of the show and would highly recommend it. Cast Coupling follows six friends: The lads- Jeff (Richard Coyle) - By far the strangest one of the ...
...possibly the funniest of all characters and he is a nervous, slightly odd man who is useless with the women. Patrick (Ben Miles) - The opposite to Jeff when it comes to women. Patrick is the smooth-talking, cool character you can imagine buying a new car off. A total womaniser with the 'sexual politics of a donkey', Patrick is the man the girls love. Steve (Jack Davenport) - Steve is the, well, normal one of the lads. Plain, smart, sarcastic and ...

Review of Coupling - Series 1 - The Complete Series (DVD)

I cannot understand the american mentality of not liking this. Possibly because there is an extraordinarily funny Welshman in it and couldn't understand his accent? I don't know...but they must be foolish to have rejected it! I absolutely adore coupling. In the first series, there are 6 episodes but despite that, each and everyone is utter class. Basically for those of you who don't know what this comedy series is about 3 lads and 3 gals (maybe ...
...30ish and are all somehow sexually related i.e ex, current boy/girlfriend etc. Susan and Steve are the main couple, and get together over the course of the first two episodes. Their best friends and ex's all end up meeting and its carnage. Their is an awful lot of sexual inuendo and the series is just fantastic. I'm not going to tell you about each and every episode because that'd give the game away, but i've got all 4 series on DVD and each episode ...

Review of Coupling - Series 1 - The Complete Series (DVD)

Basically, and this is not an insult, but take Friends, mesh it with Sex and The City, add some very talented British actors and the result is Coupling. A BBC TV show where each half hour follows the exploits of Jeff, Steve, Jane, Susan, Sally and Patrick with their day in/day out observations and dealings with the opposite sex. Why does this matter? Well, one, I need to know what is funny, when it is funny, at all times. I have obsessive laugh needs. ...
