[Strictly Jake]

How can we watch this in the UK??

[AnnieK]

:amazed:

It looks so much better than I thought it was going to be.

[Smithy]

How can we watch this in the UK??

I think it’ll probably end up airing on Sky

[Samm]

****e show

[Marsh.]

Looked forward to this for ages but James Corden? Sheesh, when will that cretin disappear?

[Jake.]

After I saw the guest lineup it dampened my excitement for it but I must admit it does look good

[Marsh.]

God Lisa Kudrow's laugh. :joker:

:flutter:

[Oliver_W]

How can we watch this in the UK??

Pirate that shizz.

[user104658]

How can we watch this in the UK??

Maybe Amazon Prime Video if you want to stream it.

[Calderyon]

How can we watch this in the UK??

Via shady sites.

[Calderyon]

Will definitely watch.

[rusticgal]

I’m welling up :bawling:....cannot wait. One of the best US sitcoms of all time :cheer2:

[GoldHeart]

I swear they've been saying this for a million years to tease us .

[Lewismacfarlane]

Ive just started watching friends on Netflix

[bots]

Ross doesnt seem to have aged a day :laugh:

[Niamh.]

I thought it was going to be an actual feature length episode so I was a bit disappointed to hear it's more of a documentary

yeah, i'm not excited either way. The show was a special point in time that can't be replicated. Sometimes I think it's best to leave it well alone

[Niamh.]

I suppose so, of course I'll be watching either way. Love Friends but I have to say Schitts Creek surpassed it for me in my favourites Sitcoms list

[Crimson Dynamo]

Joey looks the most normal to me but probably as iv seen him in all the top gear episodes

[user104658]

Joey and Phoebe just look like "older versions of themselves" as you'd expect tbh... Rachel and Monica look a bit odd because of plastic surgery, poor Chandler had like over a decade of addiction problems at one point which clearly aged him, and Ross just looks... so... puffy these days. No other way to describe it. He looks like Ross, but having an allergic reaction.

It does amuse me that Matt LeBlanc has indeed put on quite a bit of weight - just as Friends "vision of the future" episodes thought Joey would :hehe:.

Rachel looks amazing though, plastic surgery or not

[user104658]

Rachel looks amazing though, plastic surgery or not

I find the "frozen faces" really creepy, I can't help it :worry:. It's an "uncanny valley" thing I think. Like my brain is telling me they're not human. I remember on the last (or maybe second-to-last) X-factor series I found Simon Cowell genuinely upsetting to look at. His eyes :bawling:.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Rachel looks amazing though, plastic surgery or not

her body does but not her face

Yeah same.

I wouldn't be a massive fan of the plastic surgery look but I think Jennifer Aniston looks OK

[Marsh.]

So many people have said this. I don't know how though, they always said it was a cast reunion, not an episode. :laugh:

[Marsh.]

They're not replicating, they're reminiscing.

God, yeah, he looked like he'd been dead in a river for 6 weeks.

Lisa Kudrow is the only one who's left her face alone it seems.

[Oliver_W]

Even though it's a reunion not an episode, I'm not a fan of them having so many guests who have nothing to do with the show.

[Crimson Dynamo]

v said this before but every Thursday at like 20:59 i would say to ex-Mrs LT
"right, who laughs first loses"

and we would cave in the first like 30 seconds

it was impossible not to

Next day at work everyone would talk about the episode

It was massive

[user104658]

Even though it's a reunion not an episode, I'm not a fan of them having so many guests who have nothing to do with the show.

I agree to be fair - I'd much rather if they'd got a selection of the minor characters/cameos etc. on as guests instead of random "current celebs". Paul Rudd, Tom Selleck, Maggie Wheeler (Janice!) etc.

You could even have people like Paulo, Julie (who recently voiced and motion-captured a character in Ghost of Tushie, as some fun trivia...) ... just a whole "exes" segment I guess :laugh:.

[Dogeatdog]

I’ll defo be watching :D

[James]

The Inbetweeners reunion apparently didn't turn out too well (I didn't see it).

[Marsh.]

The Inbetweeners reunion apparently didn't turn out too well (I didn't see it).

That's because, like this one, social media got itself in a tizzy of it being a "new episode" that was never promised.

It's funny how many of the guests are still somewhat relevant today - Paul Rudd, Jeff Goldblum, Bruce Willis, Reece Withaspoon...

There was also George Clooney and that other guy from ER as the "hot doctors".

Oh and Jean-Claude Van Damme! The Muscles from Brussels! Filming Outbreak 2: The Virus Takes Manhattan with Marcel :flutter:.

"Can't you see what's going on here? This man is DEAD!"

Excited for this!

Aired in the US last night

Wow the collab we never knew we needed :clap1::clap1:

[Niamh.]

Will be watching this tonight :love:

[bots]

i hate that song, it's put me off watching it :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

I didn't know Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmwr really fancied one another. Woah

I loved every second of it. Had a bit of a cry at the end.

The pivot scene made my stomach hurt I was laughing that much

[Dogeatdog]

A really great reunion. Loved watching all the behind the scenes footage and it was sad seeing them so emotional when filming the finale. :love:

[Niamh.]

Aw loved that, I'm glad now it wasn't an episode

[Jake.]

I went in a bit sceptical but yeah I loved it. Really wholesome and everything you could want from a reunion :love:

[Niamh.]

Is Matthew Perry OK though, did something bad happen to him? He was always my favourite [emoji173]

[Jake.]

Is Matthew Perry OK though, did something bad happen to him? He was always my favourite [emoji173]

He’s had a pretty long history with prescription medication IIRC - I’m not sure if that’s still the case

[Jake.]

He said himself that he can’t remember filming 3 series of the show or something

[user104658]

Is Matthew Perry OK though, did something bad happen to him? He was always my favourite [emoji173]

Yeah he's had on-and-off problems with prescription painkiller addiction. He was in a jet-ski accident, apparently, so was on them legitimately but got hooked. I think the season where he was "working away" in Oklahoma was actually because he was in rehab.

I think he's OK now but you can definitely see the toll it's taken.

[user104658]

I also didn't know that Matt LeBlanc was injured on set with that shoulder dislocation. I remember the "falling off the bed" scene from when it aired though - it was so obvious that it had been shoehorned in there to cover up a real injury :joker:.

[Niamh.]

He’s had a pretty long history with prescription medication IIRC - I’m not sure if that’s still the caseAh that's very sad, I know he was in a few films after and he seemed OK but he's definitely a different person now to when Friends was filming

[rusticgal]

Going to watch it tomorrow....my son watched it...both my sons grew up with it. He said I’m going to love it and it’s going to make me cry...but then it doesn’t take much to make me cry :laugh:

https://twitter.com/scenesofriends/status/1397906752906088449?s=21

Wow the collab we never knew we needed :clap1::clap1:


I love Gaga, but that whole scene was the most awkward of the show... and it felt forced.

[Mokka]

The show was beautiful overall. There were lots of intriguing behind the scene moments and factoids to keep you engaged, and overall you just felt so much love from everyone involved in the show. It was a delight to watch!

[Strictly Jake]

I love Gaga, but that whole scene was the most awkward of the show... and it felt forced.

Yeah that was awful gaga ruined that

[Ammi]

….something that’s been watched 100 billion times is just WOW…that took it beyond being just a popular series into being a part of many people’s lives…I recall discussions with friends about which Friends character we were …many of my girly friends are Monica’s but no one ever wanted to be a Monica…:laugh:…

…from the moment they walked back onto the set, the emotion just hit them, didn't it…it was a visible thing and just beautiful to see ….:love:…

[user104658]

I agree, especially given the number of shows from the past that it's turned out were pretty grim behind the scenes. I'm looking at YOU, Buffy/Angel... and you, One Tree Hill. :fist:

[user104658]

I love Gaga, but that whole scene was the most awkward of the show... and it felt forced.

I think it was awkward because Gaga seemingly didn't play it tongue-in-cheek, when there are SEVERAL examples in the show of Phoebe not liking it/getting annoyed when people "add their own flair" to her songs. :think:

They kind of covered that but I think they should have leaned into that even more with Gaga totally belting it out and all the extras coming in and then Phoebe being like "Meh... I mean your version was okay but..."

[Nicky91]

will be broadcasted in my nation too this weekend

People who don't like friends are weird

Desperate to jump on to whatever she can because her failling relevancy and lack of interest/sales… why can’t she leave the show alone she wasn’t even around when it was airing? Seemed utterly pointless and most friends fans did not seem impressed

What?

[James]

I cancelled Now TV so I can't watch.

[Jake.]

She was born in 86, of course she was “around” :umm2:

[bots]

i just watched it, wish i hadn't if i'm honest. It's pretty clear a lot of them don't now get on with each other. Makes you wonder if they ever did

[Joker.]

What?

She was born in 86, of course she was “around” :umm2:

He means she wasn't famous when the show was airing from 1994 to 2004.

[Joker.]

Watching later tonight, so excited. I've heard nothing but positive feedback.

[Niamh.]

He means she wasn't famous when the show was airing from 1994 to 2004.

So what? She still was around to watch the show and even if she wasn't my 21 year old daughter wasn't around when it aired and she's a bigger fan than me

[Niamh.]

i just watched it, wish i hadn't if i'm honest. It's pretty clear a lot of them don't now get on with each other. Makes you wonder if they ever did

Who did you think didn't get on? I didn't get that impression at all :laugh:

[Joker.]

So what? She still was around to watch the show and even if she wasn't my 21 year old daughter wasn't around when it aired and she's a bigger fan than me

I was just clarifying what he meant, that's all. Unless he actually meant she wasn't alive when the show was airing, in which case he can't be that stupid.

Mathew was definitely not in the group, which is unfortunate as he was probably my favourite of the lot of them and lisa said, yeah we are in touch all the time and everyone looked at her like what? I remember Jennifer in the past saying she never spoke to any of them :laugh:

I'd say by the looks of Matthew probably lost touch with a lot of people, poor guy looks like he had his struggles

I thought Jennifer and Courtney were close?

[Tony Montana]

I’ll watch it either tonight or tomorrow. Hope it lives up to the hype and doesn’t disappoint.

[bots]

Mathew has been in a lot of things that i liked. He was brilliant in the good wife, he was in a few good films and i think he was on the west wing too, so he managed to keep working, but yes, he did have his problems

Because she was a child? What on Earth

[Cherie]

i just watched it, wish i hadn't if i'm honest. It's pretty clear a lot of them don't now get on with each other. Makes you wonder if they ever did

It was reported they have not all been together in the same room since Friends ended, that doesn’t sound too healthy :laugh:

I have never watched all eps of friends

[Elliot]

Jennifer Aniston is so pretty omg

I’m not even a GaGa stan but if ur gonna troll/drag at least make more relevant and believable claims. She recently won a Grammy and had a number 1 album so she can’t be fading in relevancy that much

[Joker.]

Because she was a child? What on Earth

I am aware of that tyvm. No need for the sarcasm.

[Captain.Remy]

I'm not sure I will watch it. I usually don't like those "reunion" shows years later or when they try to reboot shows.
And it's not even a proper episode from my understanding? I want to keep the magic of what it was rather than them explaining what it was etc I love the way the show ended and it doesn't happen to me often (hi Lost!) so I would like to keep it the way it is.

She has Ariana Grande to thank for all of those things, as soon as the appeal of Ariana grande featuring died down she dropped as quick as a bag of sick on all charts

…it was strange how when he was doing the quiz…David Schwimmer, quizmaster immediately became Ross, quizmaster…

Him, Lisa and Jennifer all slipped in and out of their characters all night easily I thought

…Lisa and the spider was just so incredibly Phoebe and I don’t know if it was because she slipped into Phoebe that Matthew and David became their characters as well…

Yh I think out of all of them he’s the one that I liked and felt bad for the most because like you said he had his struggles and he’s always came across as a really nice, funny guy in the interviews I’ve seen him in.

I never realised as well (I only noticed it in rewatches sometime later) how his weight changed so much between seasons 6 & 7.

[Dogeatdog]

…it was strange how when he was doing the quiz…David Schwimmer, quizmaster immediately became Ross, quizmaster…

I loved the part as well when Matt Leblanc easily managed to pick out his identical hand twin :laugh:

…and all of the others were shouting ‘it’s number 2..’ as well…:laugh:…

It was so funny. I love Matt and David’s friendship you can tell they really enjoyed working together. I remember an interview (I think it’s the Conan O’Brien one?) where David said that he found it difficult to work with Matt because he made him laugh so much on set with certain looks and reactions he gave when filming certain scenes :laugh:

[Cal.]

Couldn’t stop crying when they all returned to the set :love: Such an amazing group of people and such an amazing show :love:

[Daniel.]

There was a selfie of them in 2019 of them all together, and lots of photos of the girls together.

[Shaun]

Really enjoyable episode. Would've personally cut the random talking heads with BTS, Beckham etc but I think it was a good celebration of the show. James Corden was fine as an interviewer.

The start of it was very moving. As was the behind the scenes of the finale taping.

I had no idea Matthew Perry had...that much work done to his face though. That was pretty jarring.

[Swan]

Just got done watching. Really enjoyed it. You know why we all liked Friends? Because we wanted them as friends, we wanted a piece of their lives. You watch as the 7th friend, and that's why this show worked perfectly!

[user104658]

It was reported they have not all been together in the same room since Friends ended, that doesn’t sound too healthy :laugh:


To be fair, it's not that they haven't individually seen each other or even in smaller groups seen each other, just not all together at the same time. I think that's fairly common with old groups of friends. Heck, I can't actually remember the last time me, my dad and my sister were in the same room :joker:. A good 3 or 4 years ago. Though we regularly visit(ed, pre-covid :( ) my sister and my dad quite regularly drives up to see the kids (again pre covid :( ).

Anyway, my point I guess is that just because they haven't all been together as a group, doesn't mean they don't individually keep in touch. Some more than others I imagine. A few of them have worked together on smaller things (guest appearances in each other's shows etc.) and I think the three girls see each other.

I agree that Matthew Perry seemed the most like "an outsider" on the night but actually I'm not sure that's the case - I think what was coming across was that he was the least comfortable being there, but I don't think that was necessarily about the other cast... he just seemed a bit anxious and self-conscious during the "live" part which can manifest as aloofness/distance. During the "on the set" parts he seemed more comfortable, especially when it was just him and Matt.

[Marsh.]

It was reported they have not all been together in the same room since Friends ended, that doesn’t sound too healthy :laugh:


6 people who worked closely for a few years, moving on to marriages, kids, other jobs, living all over the world. I'd have found it strange if they did find time for all 6 of them to be together very often.

They've all been in touch, just not very often the entire group at once. Sounds fairly ordinary.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, the Matthew stuff seems like he's full of anxiety being on camera/in front of an audience in general, especially given all the stuff he spoke about.

[Marsh.]

I had no idea Matthew Perry had...that much work done to his face though. That was pretty jarring.

This was a shock. I think the last time I saw him was on Graham Norton a few years back now and aside from simply looking older he didn't look like he'd done anything.

[Ammi]

Just got done watching. Really enjoyed it. You know why we all liked Friends? Because we wanted them as friends, we wanted a piece of their lives. You watch as the 7th friend, and that's why this show worked perfectly!

….I think for me it wasn’t that I wanted them as friends as such…it was more how we attached or I attached because they displayed so much in their characters that we see in our own friendship groups and in ourselves…and even the simple titles of the episodes of…’the one with…etc…’….was very similar to our own friendship chats of…’..oh remember that time when….etc…’…you know..?…the ‘magic formula’ for me wasn’t that I wanted the characters as friends, it’s that I saw bits of friends in them so much…none of my female friends wanted to be a Monica but many are very Monica at times…:laugh:..there are a few Phoebes as well but no Rachel’s I don’t think…most of my male friends would either be Chandlers or Ross’…No Joey’s….but yeah, for me it was relatability to friendship groups and personalities….

…with the interviews of people in different parts of the world, though…?..what it showed was that the ‘magic’ was that the series and friends meant something different to all of us and I think that’s exactly it…

[user104658]

I’ve been friends with a couple of Joeys... one of them was even part-Italian :joker:.

[bots]

I once had a girlfriend named Rachel :laugh:

[rusticgal]

Just watched it....loved it.

[GoldHeart]

Awww i just finished watching the reunion, this is probably the last time we'll see them all together on set like that . Was nice to see them all reminiscing and watching old clips :) :love: .

Matt Le Blanc always looked distinguished in his later years, but now i would say Lisa Kudrow has aged better gracefully the most out of them all .

But was good seeing all 6 of them meet up again, and you can tell they all still get along with eachother and have that love and respect . Whatever else they do in their careers, Friends will always have cherished memories for them all i'm sure .

[Swan]

I loved it, but i would have liked them to bring up the Joey series, see what the others thought of it etc..

Yeah just like I expected it I hated it. Should not have watched it at all but I listened to my husband :rolleyes: I wish it was a complete "what happened to them since" episode and not some catch up with random celebrities and interviews.
The last episode was just fine and a perfect ending so I will try to not remember this...attempt at whatever this was. I mean I understand the actors need to work or try to secure a bag of dollars thanks to the fame Friends brought them, but really this reunion special wasn't necessary.:shrug:

Aw, did you really hate it? I thought they did it so well, they didn't try to make it anything other than a reminiscence.

As Lisa Kudrow said, it's nice they didn't make an episode as it wouldn't really have worked but what they did, I thought was good.

This was Amazing

[Marsh.]

Yeah just like I expected it I hated it. Should not have watched it at all but I listened to my husband :rolleyes: I wish it was a complete "what happened to them since" episode and not some catch up with random celebrities and interviews.
The last episode was just fine and a perfect ending so I will try to not remember this...attempt at whatever this was. I mean I understand the actors need to work or try to secure a bag of dollars thanks to the fame Friends brought them, but really this reunion special wasn't necessary.:shrug:

I don't understand this "the last episode was just fine and a perfect ending". It's still the ending. This wasn't an episode. Just a reunion of the cast and crew. :shrug:

I ain't gonna watch it, the tit bits have been enough for me to not want to see them how they look now compared to then.

I have a friend who is editing all of Rachael's appearances though, luckily she still looks like how she used to

Ross though, omg, no.

He looks like a melting oak tree.

I'm not a fan of those coming back episodes or going back to what it used to be or provide explanations or whatever they felt it was. It blurs the ending to me as I am fine with the way it ended and this episode didn't add anything to the whole series. It's time to let it go and not coming back to it another time in 10 yearqs (which they probably will, I hope not):shrug:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm watching right now

That’s not what this was though. It was a reunion of the main cast and some of the crew, with them discussing everything about their time on the show. It didn’t try to add anything else to the ending.

It’s a good job that no one worries so much about how people look then. Unless you’re a fan of friends then there’s very little point to watching anyway.

[rusticgal]

I think it was done very tastefully...it was a simple reunion and how it all came about...how the characters and actors were put together...and a trip down memory lane. They didn’t want to do anything that could have an impact on a hugely successful and much loved show.
I thought it was just brilliant.

…yeah, I can totally understand what you’re saying as well…for me, though…?…watching the episode actually added to it, it gave me something that I didn’t have before…because for me, in my life…?…it was just an excellent series, a much loved series and characters etc…but listening to other perspectives and other meanings from fans all over the world and what the Friends meant to them in their entirely different lives…takes it into something completely different../…how the characters really did become and feel like friends and comforts and how they inspired…very moving, very touching and something that added to that final wrap…but yeah I do understand what you feel as well…

[Captain.Remy]

Well I don’t like reunion shows or whatever this was :shrug:

That's no reason to poop on it for everyone else; don't be a Nicky :nono:

[bots]

the reunion show did nothing for me, but if others enjoyed it ... great.

It did make me dip my toes back into the show again though and it's still very funny after all these years

[Denver]

It was emotional especially seeing people who I thought totally put the show behind them break down in tears

... again, it was the cast and crew sharing memories of what it was like to WORK on the show. It didn't add anything to the show or change the ending, and it was never supposed to.

Omg, you mean 6 humans have aged and look older than they did 17 years ago???

HORRIFYING.

[Niamh.]

The Matt Le Blanc is Irish memes since the show are amazing :lovedup:

I think some have aged better than others , but I just enjoyed seeing them all together. And like you say it has been 17 years , how strange how fast it's gone by.

My only criticism of the reunion was James Corden being the host and you can tell other extra bits were added in more for padding, like David Beckham etc lol.

But overall I liked it , It was fun seeing them reminisce with old clips and the script readings lol.

And they obviously still get on with eachother. We could have had more guest appearances of other friends co stars ,but maybe they were unavailable.

We still got the Gellar parents which was nice , and Gunther and Janice.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Well I enjoyed it

:hmph:

[Captain.Remy]

Marsh I'm not sure why you're arguing with me about this? :shrug: Can I just dislike a show and be at peace? damn :skull:

[bots]

i'm with you captain. Not liking the reunion gig doesn't change opinions on the series

[Marsh.]

Marsh I'm not sure why you're arguing with me about this? :shrug: Can I just dislike a show and be at peace? damn :skull:

I'm not arguing. I'm replying to you on a forum. :umm2:

Do what you like, I'll respond where I like.

[Captain.Remy]

To me it looked like it :shrug:
And to me, whatever their goal with it was, it didn’t add anything and I disliked it. I just don’t like reunions in general.

[AnnieK]

I didn't look at it as an extension to the show or anything, I just looked at it as a separate show that starred the people who were in a show that was a massive part of my youth.

I get some people won't have enjoyed it....but I did :tongue:

[Marsh.]

That's fine. My response was only based on you saying they should leave the show alone and not add anything that will change how well it ended.

The cast getting together to talk about it is none of those things.

5 humans and one oak tree.

Well to me them coming back even to talk about it is not leaving the show alone. I didn’t need it, It didn’t bring anything special to me, it wasn’t necessary to me.
No more special episodes, actors gathering or whatever. Time to let it go.

[Marsh.]

I didn’t need it, It didn’t bring anything special to me, it wasn’t necessary to me.

Yeah, I got that. But it hasn't changed the show itself, has it?

It’s one reunion in 17 years, I’m trying to get your point here but I just can’t?

[Glenn.]

It was literally an interview and behind the scenes look at a still very popular show…

i say we ban all repeats of the show and eradicate it from you tube

the show is over

LET THAT BE AN END TO THIS

[MTVN]

Only seen the first 20 minutes so far but Matt Leblanc really stands out as the happiest and most natural back in front of the camera and the Friends environment, the others all come across quite nervous

[Zizu]

Ross doesnt seem to have aged a day :laugh:



I felt the same about Monica

He did Top Gear for 3 years, so (you might think) is more comfortable being in front of the camera "as himself" than the others, who haven't done that sort of work.

[Zizu]

It was awful, best to pretend it never happened.



I love Ross’s series Intelligence ...series two airs this week

He’s clearly a real nice guy .

There’s an outtake clip trending on YouTube where the guys are being interviewed and MattPerry is on camera but completely distracted and animated.
He had no idea he was being filmed .. anyways the clip shows Matt le B explaining things to Matthew P very gently and respectfully rather than making fun of him

He did but that's a relatively short amount of time still in the context of how long it's been since Friends finished and Jennifer Aniston is probably the one you think of as having the biggest career post Friends and most used to the spotlight

I thought his 'has it always been purple' comment at the start when they were talking about the set was really quick but none of the others seemed to get it :unsure:

[Marsh.]

Yeah, but the fact he did Top Gear shows he's far more comfortable in front of the camera as himself in general. Whereas none of the others would do work much like that.

I think Matthew Perry is normally quite confident and vibrant as himself but I think he's obviously going through a rough time in his personal life.

[AnnieK]

What amazes me was how much they have forgotten....its weird, I know and have watched every episode inside and out but they get all confused about what happened in which episode and things like that. I forget that to them it was a job, that made them massively famous and rich, but that's all it was really. They moved on with their lives and don't watch re-runs when there is nothing else on :laugh:

[Marsh.]

I remember Courtney Cox posting on instagram that she'd gone into her daughter's room to switch her computer off as she'd fallen asleep and she'd been watching Friends on Netflix. :joker:

I love Gaga, but that whole scene was the most awkward of the show... and it felt forced.
Yeah I just watched and it was definitely the most forced part of the episode, it was just so random and it was clearly shot quite a bit early before Lisa got a Botox top up :skull: don’t know why she didn’t just get a talking head interview like the rest of them

Yeah, I thought that too, but then maybe when they watch it back they’d be like “OH that was the day this happened” :laugh:


Anyway I really enjoyed it, it didn’t spoil the ending it felt no different to other shows like The Talking Dead, After the Thrones, Talking Bad... just 17 years later :laugh:

ALSO I’d have loved to have known who really doesn’t pick up bc I’ve seen interviews before (usually the girls) who have said they’ve tried to organise something as a group and one person never turns up or replies, I bet it’s David

[Crimson Dynamo]

Gunther has stage 4 cancer :( only 59

[Swan]

That's such sad news.

[GoldHeart]

How awful and sad about The actor who plays Gunther having cancer .

[rusticgal]

Really sad....I have to say I didnt recognise him in the Reunion. It really doesnt look good for him does it.

[Dogeatdog]

That’s really sad about Gunther :(

[user104658]

I was going to say - they don’t even have to “use a finger” any more which I think puts a lot of men off. They can detect prostate issues in your blood work. Get regular health checks and bloods done fellers. Can also stop you getting **** like type 2 diabetes, cholesterol issues, they’ll do your blood pressure etc. at the same time too. I’d say get an MOT every 3 years from about 30 - 55 and then yearly after that.
