Friends fans gobsmacked as they realise entire episode has ‘disappeared’ in the UK for X-rated reason
FRIENDS fans have been left gobsmacked to discover a classic episode of the US sitcom has ‘disappeared’ from UK screens.
Three decades on from it’s debut in 1994, Friends fans still tune into the global show in their droves whenever episodes are shown on TV.
However, one episode of Friends has virtually disappeared from UK TV screens, due to its rather X-rated nature.
The comedy show made worldwide names of the cast, which included the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer.
In season four, Joey (LeBlanc) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) accidentally stumble across a naughty TV channel.
In the seventeenth instalment called ‘The One With The Free Porn’ they get access to 24 hour free adult movies.
Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) later finds out that her twin sister, Ursula, has taken part in porn videos under her name.
Although the episode was tame as a whole, it featured many sexual innuendos and other explicit content.
When the episode first aired in the UK, the adult channel footage that popped up on the apartment’s TV screen was blurred.
But it seems to be missing from many terrestrial TV guides, as the episode is rarely sent to the UK for re-syndication.
However, UK Netflix viewers can still watch the episode on the streaming platform.
Users can access the entire catalogue of available episodes, across the 10 series of the show, which aired from 1994 to 2004.
This comes after Matthew Perry’s personal wealth has been valued at more than $1.5 million following his death.
According to court filings, the actor died last year from the acute effects of ketamine and left a will with numerous beneficiaries.
He previously established the “Alvy Singer Living Trust,” which is named after Woody Allen’s character in the movie Annie Hall.

The actor chose his father John Perry, mother Suzanne Morrison, and half-sister Caitlin Morrison as his beneficiaries, along with an ex-girlfriend, Rachel Dunn.
Little is known about the former fashion student whom the actor dated from 2003 to 2004 when she was just 19.
New court filings submitted in June, and seen by The U.S. Sun, show his personal property amounted to more than previously expected.
Lisa Ferguson, the trustee of Perry’s estate, filed an inventory and appraisal document showing a balance of $1,596,914.47.
