Loved this one of Iaon and Chris Evans from 2007....

That is nice, Stevie. The cast from that movie did seem to genuinely like each other.
I remember Richard Coyle in Coupling of course the UK version... the US version went down very badly.

Oh, yes! The UK version of Coupling was very funny - Richard is a true comedy actor. It's a shame that sucessful recipes for comedy don't always translate across the Atlantic. Maybe it's because so much of our comedy, on either shore, is peculiar to our quirky individual sense of humour....we write in a particular way, although we can appreciate the way the other country writes.....am I making sense, or has my brain taken a holiday?:blink:
Oh a plethora of delights! I used to watch the Brit version of Coupling on BBC America and did like Richard in that and Happy Now.
Jane Kaczmarek is an excellent comedic actress who was in a series called Malcom in the Middle. She is also married to Bradley Whitford from the West Wing series. Something funny must have been said, cause they are all three laughing. Maybe something about taking off said clothes. :wink: Wouldn't mind being there for that! :mrgreen:
The first pic is new to me! thank you! :)
Really have enjoyed all of these. Thanks so much for posting them!
Richard Coyle is from Sheffield! LOL
Some fabulous HQ pics. Thanks all!
Richard Coyle is from Sheffield! LOL
:oops: He does a grand Welsh accent, then! Sorry, Richard and Sheffield!
He had me fooled for years!

Hey, I love British comedy! It's the remakes of Brit shows for an American audience that I loath. They think we're too stupid.
One thing I will say though. I loved the Brit show Life on Mars. So, I refused to look at the American version. But my husband started recording it for me and so I took a look. It's vastly different than the British show and very good on its own.
While Phillip Glenister is marvelous as Gene Hunt, Harvey Keitel is one notch better. But they're quite different characters, each right for London and NYC.
Good old Phil, our Mr. Hobbs, he even plays Sharpe's brother in one episode.
There's another good Brit drama on at the moment starring my 70s heart throb Martin Shaw, as a detective in 1960s North East England - Inspector George Gently. Lot's of fine Geordie actors, but last night it featured our favourite weak-kneed 1st Lieutenant Buckland (Nicholas Jones) with the most outrageously exaggerated accent and identical expressions to his Hornblower character........
Apparently the Geordie accent is a hard one to get, and I always question the need to get actors who are not good at accents to fill roles, when there are many good performers with a natural one........ahem! :roll:
t's the remakes of Brit shows for an American audience that I loath.
I guess the remakes of Brit shows for an American audience have the same effect on you that the remakes of American shows for an Italian audience have on me. I have often thought of writing to Italian TV networks and tell them that they should be more creative and find original ideas of their own instead of producing bad copies of American shows and series.
BTW, I love British comedy, too.
The others in these pis are Chris Evans (of course) and Jane Kaczmarek (no, can't help you there!)
Celebritywonder has many more.....
