Does anybody know why there is no Season 5 of Coupling?? Err.. the very original BBC Coupling. I am so upset that we got to see Season 4 Nine and a half months and then were left hanging only to find that there is NO MORE BRITISH COUPLING????? STEVE MOFFAT, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???
Please I beg of you, for man (and woman) kind every where, please bring back coupling.
It was the actors in the show that decided to end it. All wanted to go on to bigger things. (Look at Steve now. One of the stars of the Pirates of the Carribean films, which are a huge success.) Like Jeff leaving at the end of season 3 to move into stage acting, all just wanted to go on to other things. Hope that helps.
shareBritish tend to quit making shows when they think they are running out of ideas or the show is getting stale. Americans add monkeys, adopted children and marriages and bleed a show until it quit being funny years ago.
shareJeff Coyle asked for too much money for the fourth series, so he was replaced by Oliver; and the bubble of chemistry between the characters no longer worked.
Added to the new presence of Sally's baby, the situation was now too dirrerent
I know!!!! how utterly terrible is it. But its been 2 years, I dont think there will ever be another season :( ... just have to watch the dvds again.
'its all happening'
In case anyone wishes to know Steven Moffat (on a site for Dr Who I think) he rounded off what happened to everyone if you're interested:
1) Susan and Steve have their baby and start writing a show based on their meeting and escapades (sound familiar?)
2) Sally and Patrick get married making Sally very happy that she reached the altar before Susan. Patrick becomes the perfect husband denying (or simply forgetting) he was a bit of a womanizer
3) Jane and Oliver never do have sex but remain very good friends and get jealous when each has a new relationship
4)Jane takes up a job working in Oliver's comic store
5)Jeff sits happily on a beach in Lesbos pretending that he can only speak Hebrew (thereby avoiding the need to learn Greek). However little does he know that a certain hot Israeli girl has been directed to the only person who speaks Hebrew on the island. As well as that she has her friend who a few years previous fell in love with a certain one-legged Jeff Murdoch. As Jeff sleeps in the sun, not knowning that they are on their way to see him and that his shorts (trousers?) are not heat resident.
Anyway I think that's it but will add link when I find it. :)

It lasted too long as it is.
The first 3 series are perfect but have already been slightly marred by the rubbish 4th series. I would have been upset had they stopped after series 3 but looking back it would have been better. Watch the end of 3 again and think. It was a great point at which to stop the show and Jeff made the right decision.
I now own them all on DVD but never watch series 4. It's a perfect show just as 3 series.

The British prefer shorter shows over longer ones anyway.
shareThere were only 6 episodes, the first 3 were not good at all, but at the end of the season they got better again.
shareThe story ended and they didn't have Jeff.
