冤家成双对第三季剧情简介
(🌠) 本剧集是BBC 2台2000年正式推出的以(🕰)青年人为题材和对象的系列情景喜(xǐ )剧，创意和编剧均由Steven Moffat一人担当。三男三女的主要人物构成很容易使人联想到当时正走红（其实已经在走下坡路）的《Friends》，因(🔩)此很有不少根(⏯)本没看过(❔)本剧的媒体人(rén )士和评论(🗞)家想当(🔝)然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而(👃)在那些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在(zài )情(💝)节设定(dìng )、人物表演、喜(🐾)剧元素的设(🏻)计和表现等诸多(duō )方面所达到的水平，要比《Friends》高几个档次。相比之下，《Friends》只能说是一部“业余”水平的好(hǎo )作品(⏳)而已。当然总体来说，英剧的水准本身就高于美剧，这和英剧注意保(bǎo )持创意、编剧(💁)一体化是分不开的(de )，美剧的创意一般(bān )也就为最初几集编剧，以后主要的编剧工作都是由其它编(biān )剧(jù )根据最(zuì )初(chū )的(⛎)角色设(🐸)定来自由发挥，编剧队伍的构成也(⏭)是不断变化，老的走新的来，造成(📸)美剧(🌽)情节连贯性差甚至前后矛盾，故事往往缺乏深度，人物性格平面(miàn )化，缺少发展。这都(💘)是题外话了。
(🙇) 《Coupling》的主要人物包括优柔寡断、性格不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫逆之交、举止语言古怪、总也找不到女友的Jeff，头脑简(💼)单、外表(🎅)性感的“donkey” Patrick三位对Porn、特别是lesbian porn非常(cháng )热中的男士，以及Steve的前(🗺)女友(yǒu )、神神叨叨、擅(✝)用(yòng )性感作武器的Jane，Steve的继任(rèn )女友、Jeff的同事、曾经非常“不羁”（包括和Jeff还有Patrick）过的(🤥)Susan，Susan的莫逆、对(duì )衰老(😓)和肥胖极度敏感(gǎn )的美容(róng )师Sally三位女士。在第一(yī )集(🚀)中，Steve决定“再次”和女友Jane分手，结果却被Jane三言两语引诱到洗手(🚲)间亲热；Patrick想把和Susan的关系再进一步，却被告知根本不存在什么“关系”； Susan在(zài )洗手间碰(pèng )到匆(🧀)忙出(⬇)来(lái )买Durex的Steve，向他表示好感，两人订下约会以(yǐ )后Steve钻进隔间继续……。本剧(jù )的主线包括Steve和 Susan之间逐渐正式起来的关系，Jeff寻找艳遇过程中的种种意外以及后来和上司发展出来的一段关系，Patrick和Sally之间若有若(ruò )无到若即若离再到情(qíng )(😣)深难舍的感情发展，还有Jane在事业和异性关系中(zhōng )的各(gè )种奇事，等等。
本剧(jù )在情节设计中所达到的精致和完美程度让(ràng )人叹为观止，而六位当时并不算大明星的青年演员(🥛)的所展现精湛演技更是具有顶尖演员的水平，无怪乎播出之后立刻走红大洋两岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和(💵)BBC网站可以领略到其受欢迎的程度。2002年底，第3季播毕，故事(shì )情节基本告一段落。美(🦒)国NBC看到(dào )这部“英国(🐛)版《Friends》”在英美两地均广受欢迎，觉(🥑)得正好可以搬来做2004年终于要关张的(💑)《Friends》的接班人，于是2003年大张旗鼓地决定翻拍美版《Coupling》。美国的fans本(🚊)来以为这是(shì )件好事，没想到NBC的翻拍愚蠢地(dì )采(💠)用了全台词照搬的方法，虽然个(🔝)人没看过，不过也可以(yǐ )想象到有多恶(è )心(xīn )，结果只播出一集Pilot就因为骂声太大而整个计划搁浅（这点上美国佬是(shì )值得学习的(😬)，不象中国有些搞影(🌒)视的骂(mà )声越大越要上）。在(🍧)这(🚯)里http://www.nbc.com/Coupling/可以看到这(zhè )个计划的尸(shī )体，还有一些彻(🏙)底走(zǒu )了(🍄)味儿(⏹)的剧照。
2003年底，本剧获得英国喜剧奖（BCA）最佳电视(shì )喜剧奖。BBC已(yǐ )经在2004年正式开拍并播出(chū )第4季，不过Jeff这个人物将不再出现，而代(🥡)之以新角色(🎊)——经营Sci-Fi书(😼)店的Oliver，由Richard Mylan扮演。从已经播出的几集来看，应该说在更换主(👙)要角色之一的背景下，基(🕦)本保持了前3季的水准，但是同时也流露出对(🏥)前3季中成功情(qíng )节进行拷贝的迹象，希望这仅仅是(shì )偶然(🖤)。
Two's company, three's a crowd... so what do you do with six? On average, men and women think about sex every six seconds. Shorten that to every second, and you've got Coupling. It's more than just a one night stand!
(😏)When a couple gets together, it's never just the two of them - they also bring baggage - and Susan (Sarah Alexander) and Steve (Jack Davenport) are no exception. Their baggage is a crowd of best friends and exes who talk about all aspects of sex and relationships on their never-ending quest to find true love. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...
Susan Walker is a beautiful go-getter with an uninhibited attitude who used to date Patrick Maitland (Ben Miles), the sextet's charismatic, cocky player, London's king of conquests - a guy who's just too cool to worry about being smart. Attractive Sally Harper (Kate Isitt) is a beauty therapist who is Susan's unashamedly vain best friend, who aggressively battles aging with heavy doses of moisturizer and men - including Patrick.
Meanwhile, Steve Taylor, while getting together with Susan, can't seem to shake loose from his vivacious and slightly vacuous ex-girlfriend Jane Christie (Gina Bellman), a woman supremely confident in her ability to seduce anyone of either sex, and who refuses to be dumped unless she's the one doing the dumping. Jeff Murdoch (Richard Coyle) is Steve's "porn buddy" who is, in equal parts, obsessed and bewildered by actual sex; charming in his way, but with an uncanny ability to say the wrong thing at the worst possible time. He works in the same office as Susan, with whom he had a disastrous and unsuccessful one-night fling.
Coupling has been honoured with the prestigious Silver Rose of Montreux, Best TV Comedy Award, and is recent winner at the 2003 British Comedy Awards.
With a new guy on the scene, a baby on the way, commitment in the air, and love on the horizon, the dynamics of the six friends are definitely changing.
At the end of last season Susan and Steve discovered they were pregnant (well, mostly Susan), confirmed bachelor Patrick and Sally finally admitted their true feelings for each other, and poor Jane was left on her own, once again.
But it's not all doom and gloom for Jane. As the new season opens, things are looking up. There's this guy called Oliver, who has his eye on her. Is it possible that lifetime loser in love Oliver might just get somewhere with lifetime loser in love Jane? Trouble is, his apartment is a little "un-edited" and his living room has lost the battle with magazine nudity...
Susan and Steve are now well and truly an item. So why is he dreaming about being executed by a fetus with an axe?
Meanwhile Sally and Patrick are settling into their new relationship. But since the dawn of time, men and women have been falling in love - and men have been trying to get home straight afterwards. Can fallen playboy Patrick ever find his way back from the enchanted glade of his one true love and get a decent night's sleep?
