I am a great fan of Friends and although this isn't the best season out of the ten the mayhem and jokes are excellent and still intelligent and witty. The first episode (The One With The Jellyfish) begins with a recap of what happened at the end of series 3 with Ross dating a bald woman but falling in love with Rachel at the same time, leaving him stuck between whether to choose Rachel or his bald lover. Also, Phoebe finds out that her real mother is actually still alive but Phoebe wants nothing to do with her.

If anyone reading this has never seen or heard of Friends before I don't know where you have been for the last six years!!! It is by far the funniest and most heart warming show ever created. Series 4 is, in my opinion, the cream of the crop. There are loads of great storylines and the final episode in London is very funny - however they do tend to characature English people in a way that could be found offensive if it wasn't so damn funny!!! Definately watch this series - even if you're a friends sceptic. Its guarateed to get you hooked for life!

The fourth series of Friends is when Friends goes international with the last couple of episodes being filmed in London. All fans of the series will know that during season 4, Ross meets British girl Emily in New York after offering to take her out as a favour to Rachel who had promised her boss who was Emily's uncle that she would only to bail out at the last minute after getting a better offer from a guy that she had been after for weeks. Little does Rachel know that Ross would fall in love with Emily. Once again, as Rachel has done before as soon as Ross finds somebody else she wants him back again but before she can tell him Ross and Emily get engaged! The season concludes with all the friends (apart from a heavily pregnant Pheobe and Rachel who feel she can't go because she loves Ross), all travelling to London for Ross and Emily's wedding - until Rachel decides to fly to London to stop it......!
This season also has Pheobe being pregnant with triplets throughout after agreeing to be a surrogate mother for her brother and his older wife Alice and the only thing that vegetarian Pheobe can stomach is meat!
Chandler and Joey's relationship takes a battering this season as Chandler falls in love with Joey's girlfriend Kathy and kisses her behind Joey's back. The end of the fourth season also starts the relationship between Chandler and Monica as they drunkenly sleep together in London.
Once again as always there are the star cameos. In this series they include Charlton Heston who stars as himself as a co-actor
with Joey who becomes extremely annoyed with him after Joey breaks into his dressing room and uses his shower, Jennifer Saunders who plays a particularly odious character as Emily's mother, Tom Conti who starts as hen-pecked Emily's father and Sarah Ferguson and Richard Branson who make brief appearances as people Joey meets in London. Hugh Laurie also pops up too on Rachel's plane to London.
Season Four is one of the few that actually has any extras as these newer box sets are pretty basic. The extras are featurettes made during the time in London. Nothing spectacular but something is better than nothing.
Once again loads of funny moments!!
