冤家成双对第三季剧情简介
本剧(🆓)集(jí )是BBC 2台2000年正式推(tuī )出的以青年人为题材和对象的系列情景喜剧，创意和编剧(jù )均由Steven Moffat一人(🔸)担当。三男三女的(de )主要人物构成很容易使人联想到当时正走红（其实(🙁)已(yǐ )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(dāng )然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那(nà )些有(yǒu )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(jì )(🐛)和(hé )表现等诸多方面所达到的水平，要比《Friends》高几个档次。相比之下(xià )，《Friends》只(zhī )能说是一部“业余”水平的好作品而已。当然总体来说，英剧的水准本身(🛃)就高于美剧，这和英剧(jù )注(🎴)意保持(🚩)创意、编剧一体化是分不开的，美剧(jù )的创意一般也(yě )就为最初几集编剧，以后主要的编剧工作都是由其它编剧根据最初的角(jiǎo )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(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、总也找不到女友(🍑)的(de )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、神神叨(dāo )叨(dāo )、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、对衰老和肥胖极度敏感的美容师Sally三位(🚝)女士。在第一集中，Steve决定“再次”和女友Jane分(💴)手，结果却被Jane三言两语引诱到洗(xǐ )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 )洗手间碰到匆(🧀)忙出来买Durex的Steve，向他表示好感，两(liǎng )人订下约会(🖱)以后Steve钻进隔间继续…(✨)…。本剧的主(🖐)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深难舍的感情发展，还有Jane在事业(yè )和异性关系中的各种奇事，等等。
本剧在情(🔊)节设(shè )计中所达到(dào )的精致和完美程度让人叹为观止，而六位当时并不(bú )算大(🚳)明星的青年演员的所(suǒ )展现精湛演技更是具有顶(🌪)尖演(yǎn )员的(🎿)水平，无(🔋)怪(guài )乎播出之后立刻走红大洋两岸，在(zài )IMDB、AMAZON和BBC网站可以领略到(⏳)其受欢迎的程度。2002年(nián )底，第3季播毕，故事情节基本告一段落。美国NBC看到这部“英国版《Friends》”在英美两地均广受欢迎，觉得正好可以搬来(lái )做2004年终(zhōng )于要关张的(de )《Friends》的接班人(rén )，于是2003年(nián )大张旗鼓地决(🐮)定翻拍(💙)美版《Coupling》。美国的fans本来以为这是件(jiàn )好事，没想到NBC的翻拍愚蠢地采用了(le )全台词照搬(🍰)的(🛤)方法，虽然(rán )个(🔝)人没看过，不过也可以想象到有多恶心，结(🗞)果只播出一集Pilot就(jiù )因(🧚)为骂声太大而整个(🗄)计划搁(gē )浅（这点上(shàng )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(běn )剧获得英国喜剧(jù )奖（BCA）最佳电视喜剧奖。BBC已(🎻)经在2004年正式开拍并播出第4季，不(bú )过(guò )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(de )几集来看(🏈)，应该(🥈)说在更换主要角色之(zhī )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(🔺)中成功情节进行(🏼)拷贝(🌉)的迹象，希(xī )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?
