The Friends reunion has broken a record for Sky One, becoming its most-watched show ever.
Some 5.3 million viewers tuned in to watch Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry reunite on screen for the first time since the hit sitcom ended in 2004.
The one-off special has also become Sky’s most watched show across live, recorded and downloaded viewing in the last two years.
