A recent report release by Ofcom has revealed that Friends, a sitcom that stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry, is the most watched programme on subscription streaming services.

 

The show has beaten recent releases, including The Grand Tour, The Crown, Stranger Things, and Peaky Blinders.

 

Although it has been 14 years since it ended, there is still huge interest in it.

 

Sue Kemp, from Liverpool, has been watching since the first episode. Her daughter Rose, 21, is now a big fan as well.

 

"Even my younger daughter watches it as well and she's 15, and she finds it just as funny as I do and I'm nearly 50," Sue says.

 

"It's good fun, it's light-hearted, it makes you feel good. You can easily watch two or three episodes a night. Come in from work, cook the tea, put Friends on."

 

"I'd love to see a sequel," she says. "Even just a movie catching up with them where they are now. Did Ross and Rachel ever really get together and live together? Did Monica and Chandler last?"
