And we might have watched every episode at least 17 times already, but there are still moments that take us by surprise.

Ross saying Rachel’s name at the altar, Monica and Chandler’s secret relationship and Phoebe giving birth to her brother’s triplets.

But now there’s something else that’s shocked us about Friends, as Chandler has been voted the best character.

The one-off Friends show was originally set to air on the HBO Max streaming platform in the US in May 2020, but was postponed due to the pandemic.

Speaking on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, David confirmed filming might finally take place in April, as he said: "It's happening. Actually, in a little over a month I'm heading out to LA.

"So, finally, I mean, we figured out a way to film it safely and there's going to be a portion of it that we filmed outside because of, you know, for safety protocols."
