Another Jack Davenport Sitcom - Coupling

I only discovered this old BBC sitcom called "Couplings" after my new found interest in Jack Davenport , which I found an amazing resemblance to my Dear ! Of course, Jack Davenport looked 20 years younger in Coupling than in Flash Forward!

Cast of Coupling

I have been slacking a bit with my Blog, apologies to my Regulars! Been quite occupied with work and didn't wanna get sacked from Blogging during working hours!! There's always, anyhow, time for TV :)

The story is mainly centered on 6 friends, their relationships, misadventures, with a lot of  Bar jokes thrown in and side splitting English Humour :)

Imagine how stoked I was when I managed to download 4 entire Seasons of Coupling and needless to say it's been "Marathon" every night! Must have freaked the neighbours out with my howling at 1a.m. ! I actually watched 6 episodes all in one sitting! A testament on how good it is ! Someone even commented on YouTube that Coupling makes FRIENDS look like a knock-off ! I have to say Coupling HAS some original content that seriously left me in stitches !!

*In my best English accent* " It is AB-solutely Hilarious! "
Check this out:

Jeff Murdoch (Richard Coyle) is one of my favourites ! He's like the equivalent to Joey in FRIENDS... After watching this I learnt what a 'Sock Gap' is !! Random fact , in case you didn't recognize he's actually in Prince of Persia as Prince Tas !!








Poor Steve being cornered to tell the whole story of an Adult video found by Susan while cleaning he's flat. Embarrassed Steve has to narrate the story to he's Dinner Guest after they argued on how a movie like 'Lesbian Spank Inferno' could possibly have a storyline ?! HA HA !

New Addiction: Flash Forward & BOSS TV Series

I confess, I've developed pretty much a TV Junkie/Couch Potato in the past few months. Now that I've got my own TV, most evenings are spent glued to 8TV (Not like I have any other channels to watch!)

Then 8TV starts to air a new TV Series - Flash Forward... Now I'm hooked.

At times I swear, Flash Forward is too much for me!

The story revolves around FBI Agent, Mark Benford uncovering deep plots of conspiracy when one day EVERYBODY in the whole world pitam-ed for 2 minutes and 17seconds. During the time they were unconscious, most people saw flashes of their future. There were some who did not see a thing; they're called Ghost as they have no future, meaning they are going to die.

Pilot episode shows Agent Benford and Agent Noh in a car chase on hot pursuit of a suspect. Suddenly, just blackness and time stood still. Cars crash into one another, helicopters crashing into buildings, cars going off road into rivers, people drowning. Utter Chaos.

Our Agents wakes up in pins and needles, not a clue what happened as they stare at the massive catalyst , cars piled in heaps, bodies strewn everywhere, buildings on fire etc. The FBI Team is left to piece together what caused the Black Out, hunt down who is REsponsible, which they initially thought was a Terrorist Attack but appears to be more complicated than that!

Then comes a mysterious, cute and charming Englishman with he's Autistic son warded in the same hospital where Agent Benford's wife works as a surgeon. In their Flash Forward, they see each other; having an affair! The more I watch the more I see the resemblance, shit this guy looks like boyfriend!

Those of you who met my bf before, do you see what I see ?? :-P

Point is, the fascinating thing about the Storyline is, everyone seen bits of their future. Some people at the end of their rope saw good things happening, Hope. While some saw bad things happening.

So, IF you had a glimpse of your future, and if it's going to be tragic, what would you do about it ? Sit around waiting for it to happen or change the future knowing you still have time?

Hunky Quantum Physicist Dr. Lloyd Simcoe (Jack Davenport)

Another reason to be Gan Cheong for ! ;-D

Of course he knows he's waayy cuter than this guy!

Then on Sunday afternoon, there's BOSS ; Jap CSI-TV Series equivalent. Hell, it's addictive! The first episode blew me away. Instantly I became a fan of Amami Yuki, she's one solid character.  Her character Eriko Osawa is an FBI in the States then she is called back to Tokyo to head the new Unit.

I was totally fascinated by her entire Iron Lady mannerism, spunk and I love, love, love her crisp, stylo suits!

To make it even more hilarious, her newly formed Unit consist of all the Oddball/Misfits kicked out from the other Departments! My favourite pair is the gay Zenji Iwai and gentle, Flower loving Uncle Yamamura, both love winding each other up most the time! Both are sooo un-Police like Gay Iwai screams and panics with he's gun at crucial moments while Uncle Yamamura always loses he's bag and frets over the smallest things! Classic!

When I'm freaking 40, I wanna look like AMAMI YUKI !!!

Cast of BOSS ; They're World-Class !!! ;)

Arrgghh I can't take the Suspense! It's too much for my poor heart :(  Once a week is killing me!

And I shall not tempt myself into buying the Box-Sets !!!!
