    Well at least some of them were in the series, but Bieber? BTS?

    Seems it's going to be a mix of sit down chats and skits.

    What did Monica and Chandler name their twins? I think one after the birth mother

    I wish they'd kept the guests to people who actually starred in the show or were involved in the production. I mean I'm fine with Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga performing or whatever, but David Beckham, Cara Delevigne, Kit Harrington....James Cordon?

    Sounds like it's more of a chat show featuring the cast of friends rather than a proper reunion. It's kinda putting me off it.

    I'm unsure what it is. Seems to be a mix of James Corden interviewing them (Bring back Gaby Roslin!), just them talking among themselves, reading scenes and then random other stuff

    why is James cordon asking questions ? Just let the cast talk about the show and have a few people who were cast members outside of the six get on the nostalgia train. We don’t need this lad ruining it.

    Ah she looks better now than a few years ago. I know Mathew Perry had issues with addiction but he looks older than he is.

    Who do you refuse to acknowledge as a cast member? Lisa Kudrow, right? Phoebe lived away from everyone and wasn't related to any of them

    What ? Sorry there were six main cast. I’m not sure what the last part is about.

    Just joking referring to something Rachel said in the series after breaking up with Ross about she always thought it would be Phoebe that would be the first one to leave because she lived far away and wasn't related to any of them.

    What the hell? Jennifer Anistons face looks like a computer generated image.

    Matt Le Blanc has put on a shed load of weight even since he was on top gear a few years ago.

    Only Perry, Schwimmer and Kudrow look like they aged normally.

    The fact that James Corden is in it turns me right off it. He's just Ryan Tubridy on a Burger King diet.

    Everything looks too polished and bright.

    It's just going to be an extended episode of James Corden's chat show.

    I used to bare James Cordon no ill will. He seemed enthusiastic and game but then he went to the US and started popping up EVERYWHERE there. He went from harmless to superficial and obnoxious on no time, while the yanks appear to have an infinite appetite for his style.

    To the reunion? Meh, I might have been more interested if it was a proper, Some Years Later revival, the vast struggling to cope with middle age and being past their "peak".

    Lisa Kudrow looks unreal and natural.
    She is a really fun actress and picks interesting things as well. Excellent in that recent British show Feel Good.
    The comeback is also seriously underrated.

    Not massive friends fan so won't be watching it.

    James Corden cannot stand the site of him. Anything I have heard about him as a person is not good either.

    Does anyone know when it’ll air here and on what channel? Massive Friends fan here & looking forward to watching it. Not sure what the point is of having those guests on who had nothing to do with the show but hopefully it’ll make sense when it’s broadcast.

    Seems Sky is the favourite to show it but no confirmed broadcaster yet as of 2 days ago
    https://deadline.com/2021/05/friends-reunion-sky-favorite-uk-rights-hbo-max-1234758139/

    I know they have celebrities to attract viewers, but this is a special where that kind of thing wasn't needed

    .

    He was always obnoxious.

    Why dont they just make a few new episodes.

    I’m glad there’s no new episodes. There’s no way they could pull it off to be as good as the original IMO. (There’s plenty of original episodes I’d love to delete from my brain too btw, not saying it was all amazing!).

    The cast photo looks airbrushed and photoshopped to bits too. Hate the way they think that looks any way good.

    I noticed Matthew Perry was very quiet in that trailer. Think he only some once.

    Thanks. Looks like I’ll need to get Sky in the next week or so!

    Yeah nobody wants to hear from random celebrities, the main cast and maybe some of the guest stars and Gunther!! That would be perfection!

    I’m trying to avoid all trailers but I don’t think Matthew Perry is well at the moment. He’s struggled with addictions hasn’t he? Hope he’s ok.
