COUPLING
SERIES TWO DVD and VIDEO release UK
* It's
what you've all been waiting for (well aside from a personal visit
by the man himself or maybe a part in the new series!) Coupling 2
comes to DVD. Listings vary lightly but here's the info as it currently
stands:
www.play.com:
release date 23/09/02: £14.99 incl P+P
www.blackstar.co.uk:
release date 16/09/02: £16.99 + £1.70 P+P
These are prices for the region 2 DVD release only. All I can say
is that now I own a DVD player - there better be some extras on the
disc this time round or shame on you BBC!

to know that it is scheduled for release too

COUPLING PICKED OUT FOR US PRIMETIME(ish)
* Reports on UK and US websites have
named Coupling as a possible replacement for the popular US series
friends when it completes it's ninth and final series on the US NBC
television network. However, on account of the yanks being unlikely
to 'get' either the UK dialogue or dialect, the series that airs on
NBC will be re-shot in LA and stocked with US talent. A pilot will
film in October which will be co-produced by Hartswood Films (the
UK makers) and Beryl Vertue, executive producer of Coupling, told
The Times that NBC producers were "very enthusiastic about the
show and said they didn't want to tone it down." We'll see...
Ben Silverman, the producer overseeing the project for NBC, said the
programme was different to Friends, "It's kind of a next-generation
sitcom. It is really honest and edgy, and the humour flows more organically.
It is a smart and fresh comedy."
Well we knew that already Mr Silverman! We just wonder who'll get
the coverted Jeff-slot?
OTHELLO
* Othello, (described as 'a brilliantly original and stylish new version
of Shakespeare's great tragedy'), has won the $50,000 Global Television
Grand Prize at the 23rd Banff Rockie Awards. It was one of several
prize-winning British productions and co-productions. Othello was
also named best in its category, taking home the Rockie for Best Made-for-TV
Movie.
