Friends movie

There's some talk about there being a film made as a follow on to Friends. Sex and the City has just recently been released.

The X-Files film is due out soon too.

So there seems to be a bit of a trend of films being made to carry on a successful TV franchise. So which old programme should they bring back as a film?

Hubby wants the A-Team but I think they should made a film of The Little House on the Prairie. Of course, they'd have to hand out tissue paper along with the popcorn.

Thankfully the Friends film has just been a vicious rumour...

We'll get a few suggestions in then I'll open a poll on it!

The only thing good about "Friends" was the theme tune

There should be a film made of that 1960's cult classic, "The Prisoner". No one could understand what it was all about -the characters did not have names, only numbers and the series was cancelled half-way through - so there was never an ending. Lovely special effects though, with a big balloon gobbling up someone practically every week. Yeah, we had proper TV in those days.

Tissues? What do you think your husband would be doing while watching Mr T?

Aye, that Friends is awful stuff. Is it any worse that other old rubbish we got fom the States - Sex and The City? Both of these should be avoided at all costs - it is male torture. Half an hour with your head in a bucket of pigeon vomit would be preferable.

Most of them are american twaddle, mel gibson was quick enough to do a couple of films in regard to british wars which were considered unfair, ie the patriot and braveheart, I would like to see him make a film about some of the american injustices, like the eviction of the native indians, (which was for greed, for gold and to make room for 'whites'), or the more recent greedy oil based wars, be far more interesting than the usual drivel from over the pond.

That was the pilot movie for the series which was done with a lot of '80's TV series from Knight Rider to Streetrider. I'm talking about a modern version. A proper full on action flick
