Amazon.co.uk Review
Nine years is a long time for any group of Friends to stick so closely together, but somehow the gang are still as daftly charming as ever. After the birth of Emma, Rachel comes to terms with being a mother surprisingly well. It's how everyone else deals with it that makes things interesting. Joey's accidental proposal creates weird friction between him and Ross, who breaks his finger throwing the show's first ever punch. Monica becomes desperately broody and attempts all manner of convoluted ways of persuading Chandler (unfortunately he inadvertently bankrupts them in a move to Tulsa). Phoebe, on the other hand, occupies herself in the dating game, holding on to Mike (Paul Rudd) in the longest guest star relationship anyone's ever had. Other surprise guests this year include Freddie Prinze Jr as an overly sensitive nanny (in the 200th episode), Christina Applegate as another of Rachel's sisters and Jeff Goldblum playing himself on the set of another movie on which Joey is trying to get a break.
As always the sparks occasionally fly between Rachel and Ross, while the others manage to strain their own relationships to the max. The real reason for watching now is the one-off kooky scenarios in which they--or rather Joey--get into. His endless dating finally sees him stuck for remembering if he's already slept with a girl; he botches an attempt at eyebrow waxing; and he manages to make Chandler think that Monica wants a breast enhancement. A 10th series and potential movie spin-off were announced well before the year was over, meaning six very rich actors will be supplying the fun for some time yet to come. --Paul Tonks

Format:VHS Tape
this series is shaping up to be one of the best yet (and it has a lot to be compared to!) those who felt that series 9 was taking it too far (and that includes me) should eat their words. one of the highlights of this box set is certainly the renewal of chemistry between ross and rachel, something that previous series' had lost. the 'will they or wont they' senario is back, with amusing consequences. highlights of this particular video include phoebes birthday party, the one with freddie prinze-junior guest-starring as ross and rachel's male nanny, and the hilarious sight that is ross and rachel rapping 'baby got back' to their baby. overall one of the best friends videos yet!

Okay,this is a great video,especially the episodes with Monica's new bed(which ain't what she expected!)Joey builds a VERY LARGE entertainment centre for the guys apartment,which leads to a stupid,but kinda funny bet.Ross gets the surprise of his life as Isabella Rossellini walks into the coffee house,but he tells her a bit TOO MUCH about who he'd like to sleep with!The 2nd episode is the BEST EPISODE ON THE VIDEO because the gang remember 3 years ago when Rachel fantasised about one of the guys(not Ross!)Pheobe gets kinky with one of the other guys who HINT HINT has just found out that his wife is a lesbian.Chandler gets a shock in the 3rd episode as Joey reveals that "HEELLOO CHANDLA BANG" Janice has been cheating on him.Pheobe becomes convinced that she has killed the ugly naked guy who lives across the street in the 4th episode so the gang decide to constuct a long pole to prod him with.This episode isn't one of the best though.Overall an excellent video which will provoke a lotta laughs,and a few tears.

This video combines some of the best episodes of Friends seen. It contains The One With the East German Laundry Detergent where Ross and Rachel have fun and the laundrette, The One With The Butt where Joey gets the role of Al Pacino's bum and gets fired for overacting, The One With the Blackout sees New York plunge into darkness causing Rachel to meet Paulo and Chandler to be trapped in a vestibule with Julie Goodacre finally The One Where Nana Dies Twice sees Monica and Ross' Nana die, come back to life and die again. As ever the Friends are hillarious and this video's worth buying just for The One With the Blackout.

Good, if you want to see Rachel totally embarrass herself!
