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(xiàng )的(🐉)系列情景喜剧，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(de )《Friends》，因(🔩)此很有(yǒu )不少根本没看过本剧的媒体人士和评论家想(xiǎng )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(men )看来，《Coupling》在情节设(shè )定、人物表演、喜(xǐ )剧元(yuán )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(dàng )次(cì )。相比之下，《Friends》只能说是一(🌱)部“业余”水平的好作品而已。当然总体来说，英(📤)剧的水(🔪)准本身(shēn )就高于美剧，这和英(🕺)剧注意保持创意、编剧一体(⏺)化(huà )是分不开的，美剧的创意一般(bān )也就为最初几集编(biān )剧，以后主要的编剧工作都是由其它编剧根据(jù )最初的角色设定来自由发挥，编剧队伍(wǔ )的构成也(yě )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(🃏)平面化，缺少(🥈)发展。这都是题外话了。
《Coupling》的主要人物包(bāo )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(duì )Porn、(🐋)特别是lesbian porn非常热中的男士，以及(🧗)Steve的前(qián )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(🏐)、对衰老和肥胖极度敏感的美容师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在洗手间碰到匆忙(🚲)出(⬇)来买Durex的Steve，向他(tā )表示好感(👷)，两人订下(xià )约会以后(♟)Steve钻进隔间继续……。本剧的(😢)主线包括(kuò )Steve和 Susan之(zhī )间逐渐正式起(✏)来的关系，Jeff寻找(zhǎo )艳遇过程(🔙)中的种种意外以及后(⛲)来和上司发(fā )展出来的一段关系，Patrick和Sally之(🍟)间若有(yǒu )若无到若即若离再到(dào )情深难舍的感情(🎀)发展，还有Jane在事业和异性关系中的各种奇事，等等(děng )。
本剧在情节设计中所达到的精(jīng )致和(hé )完美程度让人叹(tàn )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(yuán )(📆)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，故事情节基本告一段落。美国NBC看到这部(bù )“英国版《Friends》”在英美(měi )两地均广受欢迎(yíng )，觉得正(🤫)好可以搬来做2004年终于要关张的《Friends》的(de )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(zhè )是件(💿)好事，没想(xiǎng )到NBC的翻拍(pāi )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(kě )以想象到有多恶(è )心(🥐)，结果(guǒ )只播出一集(✝)Pilot就因为骂声太(tài )大而整个计划搁浅（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(jù )获得英国喜剧奖（BCA）最佳电视喜剧奖。BBC已经在2004年正式开拍并(bìng )播出第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(jī )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，希望(wàng )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?
