Friends fans are in for a treat. The hit TV comedy is celebrating 25 years since its premiere in 1994 (can you believe) and to mark the occasion, selected episodes across the ten seasons are being shown on the big screen in September. Fans will be able to watch some of their favourite episodes and funny moments from the show, while seeing characters Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe and Joey on the big screen for the very first time.

As well as enjoying the laugh-out-loud and tear-jerking moments, fans will also be treated to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew.
