Friends at 25

As US TV series Friends celebrates its 25th anniversary we examine the show's legacy.

As US TV series Friends celebrates its 25th anniversary we examine the show's legacy. John Peek is a director of Television Audience Programme Evaluation, which helps distributors pick programming, and explains why Friends remains the most streamed show on Netflix. Paul Bassett Davies tells us how he cites the programme when teaching comedy scriptwriting. And Scacci Koul of Buzzfeed News argues that some of the show's humour has not aged well. Also in the programme, Craig Beaumont, director of the Federation of Small Businesses discusses how the latest round of Brexit uncertainty is affecting his organisation's members. And we get a sense of how it is playing out in the financial markets with Helen Thomas of the Blonde Money consultancy. Plus trade unions in Chile have begun the third general strike this year. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Grace Livingstone explains the background to the dispute.
