Channel 4 has announced that it’s relationship with the US series Friends will come to an end next year.
4’s digital channel E4 has been showing two eps each night for the last six years, and it still draws a steady audience despite the show’s end in 2004.
Channel 4’s Gill Hay said: “After 15 years, 10 hit series and 236 terrific episodes, it’s time to say goodbye to old Friends and welcome new ones,” said .
Channel 4’s 15 year relationship with Friends comes to an end in 2011 allegedly to free up some cash for new shows – we think differently though…
It’s because the UK population now know the words to every single episode.
“We were on a break”.
“18 pages… front and back”
“It’s not that common, it doesn’t happen to every guy and it is a big deal”…. “I knew it!”
See?
The end of an era – but fear not, those old episodes will still be “there for you”… to ensure you don’t start forgetting the words, we hear Comedy Central pay be picking up the rights from next year…
“How YOU doing?”
