Kevin - London might have gotten started mainly because we felt like while the show was popular we needed to take advantage of it and go someplace.  Do the show on an exotic location and have a good time.

David - We knew the show was popular in England so
it seemed like a natural fit.

David - We wanted it to still feel like Friends  so we
wanted to shoot a lot of it in front of an audience and
it seemed like a really exciting oppurtunity to shoot an
American sitcom in front of a British audience.

David - We were really afraid going over that either
they'd be far more sedate, they wouldn't laugh...

Marta - They were great

David - They were great

Marta - They waited in line for hours

Marta -  You know, we didn't have a single bad audience in London

David - Also, there was a greater sense of event, I think it energized everybody...the actors, writers...

Marta - We missed Lisa

David - Yeah

Marta - We missed Lisa not being there.  That was probably the only drawback I can think of.

David - It was also interesting because we had shot about 1/3 of it here....

Marta - and a little of it on the streets in London

David - It was just a really gratifying experience, pretty much
everything we had hoped to get out of it, we got.
