It returns, however, sporting the Silver Rose of Montreux, and with an episode centered on Richard Coyle, the acting revelation (even among an all-star ensemble that includes Jack Davenport) of the first run. Coyle's easily flustered Jeff finds sexual bliss being offered to him on a plate. Just one problem to overcome: he has inexplicably told his new love he has a wooden leg." **********COUPLING RETURNS********* * AWOOGA AWOOGA! Coupling series two begins tonight in the UK on BBC 2.
