Found this whilst flicking through Virgin on demand. I watched some of it when it first aired It's a bit dated but this scene had me in stitches especially from 3:50 onwards

The only problem was the tired monologue that would be given to the one from Pirates in each ep.
In each episode? I have all 4 series have watched them many times. If he did 5 in all I'd be surprised. The best one was in 'Lesbian spank inferno'.
Flipping channels I stumbled into exactly the point of the OP's clip. I was hooked. Some great laugh out load comedy in coupling, unlike most crap these days (Big Bang Theory accepted).
Well worth watching the shows a few times. I have often laughed about things I missed first time round.

You mean back in the day when comedy on TV was actually funny?

I enjoy coupling. has made me laugh quite a few times.
One drawback with Coupling is the way that Steven Moffat let the series end with some un-explained stories when he went off to write Doctor Who. Eventually he was pestered by some online fansites to give an ending to the series.
Oh, all right.
Sally said yes to Patrick, they got married and are very happy. Especially as Sally beat Susan to the altar, and finally did something first. Patrick is now a completely devoted husband, who lives in total denial that he was anything other an upstanding member of the community. Or possibly he's actually forgotten. He doesn't like remembering things because it's a bit like thinking.
Jane and Oliver never actually did have sex, but they did become very good friends. They often rejoice together that their friendship is uncomplicated by any kind of sexual attraction - but they both get murderously jealous when the other is dating. Jane has a job at Oliver's science fiction book shop now - and since Oliver has that one moment of Naked Jane burnt on the inside of his eyelids, he now loses the place in one in every three sentences. People who know them well think something's gotta give - and they're right. Especially as Jane comes to work in a metal bikini.
Steve and Susan have two children now, and have recently completed work on a sitcom about their early lives together. They're developing a new television project, but it keeps getting delayed as he insists on writing episodes of some old kids show they recently pulled out of mothballs. She gets very cross about this, and if he says "Yeah but check out the season poll!" one more time, he will not live to write another word.
Jeff is still abroad. He lives a life a complete peace and serenity now, having taken the precaution of not learning a word of the local langauge and therefore protecting himself from the consequences of his own special brand of communication. If any English speakers turn up, he pretends he only speaks Hebrew. He is, at this very moment, staring out to sea, and sighing happily every thirty-eight seconds.
What he doesn't know, of course, is that even now a beautiful Israeli girl he once met in a bar, is heading towards his apartment, having been directed to the only Hebrew speaker on the island. What he also doesn't know is that she is being driven by a young ex-pat English woman, who is still grieving the loss of a charming, one-legged Welshman she once met on a train. And he cannot possible suspect that (owing to a laundry mix-up, and a stag party the previous night in the same block) he is wearing heat-dissolving trunks.
As the doorbell rings, it is best that we draw a veil.

Personally I'd quite like to see a Young Ones reunion. I like to think that Mike would end up in prison for fraud, Rik would become one of the architects of New Labour, Vyv would be a mad surgeon, and Neil would look almost exactly the same and have very little recall of the previous thirty years at all.
(Yes, I know they went off a cliff in a bus at the end of Series Two, but there's nothing to specifically say they all died).

This +1!(Yes, I know they went off a cliff in a bus at the end of Series Two, but there's nothing to specifically say they all died).
I remember this from way-back-when, I seem to recall it started off like a naughtier, better, UK version of Friends, but there was a complete change in direction between two series and it came back like a very poor version of Cold Feet which had ended around the time, I gave up on it quite quickly after that.

I would like to hope that Ben Elton never even thinks about writing comedy again, let alone piss on the grave of my teenage memories.
