When the question is asked about who my favourite character is from the main six in Friends my answer has always been Chandler. No second thought has ever been needed. For me it’s always been an easy conclusion to place him at the top of the pile because, simply, why wouldn’t it be?
I first saw Friends when I hit high school in 1998. The show was almost halfway through its run but I was captivated from the first time I watched, despite not knowing a single ounce of backstory. A lot of the humour must’ve gone over my 11-year-old head but the excitement of being allowed to stay up late to watch Friends on Channel 4 every Friday night quickly took hold, and I looked forward to it until the show came to an end in 2004.
