I don't entirely agree, but

You're Susan! You are generally a very
self-possessed and sensible person. Aggressive

Who is your inner Coupling character?

Seriously, if you don't already watch the show, you should. The UK version - I don't know anything about the US version, which leads me to believe it's not worth making a quiz over :P

This is the sort of review I seem to be hearing from everyone! I wonder why NBC (or whoever) didn't just buy syndication rights to the UK version. The networks seem to be all about costcutting these days; they would have saved on set, talent, writers (well, it appears they already cost-cut there :P)

Kind of reminds me of the discussions a few years back about making an American version of Red Dwarf - the Cat was going to be a sexy woman, and they were going to make Lister less of a space bum. Thank doG it never came to fruition!

Yeah ... Terry Farrell (who later went on to play Dax on DS9) was to play the cat in the American version; so was Janet Leeves ("Frasier"'s Daphne) ... there were 2 different American pilot episodes made and I forget which actress was in which (will someday have to get my OWN copy of "The Man in the Rubber Mask" in which Robert "Kryten" Llewellyn gives a lot of details ... he was the only British cast member invited to be involved in the U.S. versions). I share in your thanks-giving that only the pure and beautiful Brit version survives :p

Two pilots, thankfully both crashed :> I'm sorry, I just think the formula for the UK Red Dwarf works so well, there is absolutely no way they could successfully alter it. Next you'll be telling me they were going to make Rimmer less of a smeghead!

Trying to recall what Mr. Llewellyn had to say about it all. Don't remember about the characters of Lister and Rimmer, but I do recall that he was rather disturbed when the actors playing the roles wanted him to quit goofing around in the wings between takes ... they wanted to get into their characters ... which was quite a change from Craig Charles killing off-camera time by trying his lighter on various parts of the sets to see how well they would burn.
