冤家成双对第三季剧情简介
本(běn )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剧，创意和编剧均由Steven Moffat一人担当(dāng )。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士和(🥔)评论家想当然地将本(běn )剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那(nà )些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众(🎋)们看来，《Coupling》在情节(💹)设定、人物表演、喜剧元素的设计和表(⛏)现等诸多方面所达到的水平，要比《Friends》高几个档次(🔤)。相比之(zhī )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，这和英剧注意保持创意、编剧一体化是分不(🈳)开(🐈)的，美剧(jù )的创(chuàng )意一般也就为最初几集编剧，以(yǐ )后主要的编剧工作都是由其它(🍉)编剧根据最初的角色设(shè )定来自由发挥，编剧队伍的(🍏)构(😻)成也是(shì )不断变化，老的走新的(🕤)来，造(zào )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(wù )性格平面化，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(zhǎo )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非常热中的男士，以及Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用(🐩)性感作武器的Jane，Steve的继任女友、Jeff的同事、曾经非常“不羁”（包括和Jeff还有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫逆、对衰老(lǎo )和肥胖极度敏感的(de )美容师Sally三位(wèi )女士。在第一集中，Steve决定“再次”和女(nǚ )友Jane分(fèn )手，结(jié )果却被Jane三言两语引诱到洗手间亲热；Patrick想把和(hé )Susan的关系再进一步(bù )，却被告知根本不(🗝)存在什么“关系”； Susan在(📿)洗手间碰到匆忙出来买Durex的Steve，向他表示好感，两人(rén )订下约会以后Steve钻进隔间继(📔)续……。本剧的主(zhǔ )线包括Steve和 Susan之(zhī )间逐渐正式起来的关系，Jeff寻找艳遇过程(🔙)中的种种意外以(yǐ )及后来和上司(📪)发展(🕗)出来的(de )一段关系，Patrick和Sally之(🍟)间若有若无到若即若离再到情深难舍的感情发展(🌼)，还(📴)有Jane在(zài )事(📒)业和异性(xìng )关系中的(🗑)各种奇事，等等。
本(běn )剧在情节设计中所(🚟)达到的(🅰)精致和完美程度让人叹为观止，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(gèng )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(lǐng )略到其受(shòu )欢迎的程(chéng )度。2002年底，第3季播毕，故事情节基(jī )本告一段(⏪)落。美国NBC看到这部“英国版《Friends》”在英美两(liǎng )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(🚪)蠢地采用了全(🥩)台词照搬的方法，虽然个人没(🦔)看过，不过也可以想象到有多恶心，结果只播(bō )出(chū )(💡)一集Pilot就因为骂声太大而整个计划(huá )搁浅（这点上美国佬是值得学习(🦄)的，不象中国有些搞影视的骂声越大越要上）(💈)。在这里http://www.nbc.com/Coupling/可以看到这个(🕘)计划的尸体，还有一些彻底走了味儿的剧照。
2003年底，本剧获得英(🧛)国喜剧奖（BCA）最佳电视喜(xǐ )剧奖。BBC已经(🥙)在2004年正式开(kāi )拍并(bìng )播出第4季，不过Jeff这个人物将不再(zài )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(bǎo )持了前3季的水准，但(dàn )是同时(shí )也流露(lù )出对前3季中成功情(qíng )(📁)节(jiē )进行拷贝的迹象，希望这仅仅是(🤦)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?
