Fans of TV sitcom Friends will have the chance to bid on original scripts from the hit show at auction – after they were found in a bin 25 years ago. , The pair of scripts – for the episides The One With Ross’s Wedding Part I and II – should have been destroyed after filming in London in 1998., But they were found by chance in the trash at a London TV studio by a former staff member who kept them ever since. , They were found during a clear out while moving house, and are now set to go under the hammer in the UK at auction house, Hanson Ross. , Amanda Butler, head of operations at the Royston firm, said: “They were bought along to our saleroom for valuation and we were amazed. Friends fans will absolutely love these. They sweep us back to 1998 when Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler and Rachel travelled to England to see Ross (David Schwimmer) marry his fiancee Emily (Helen Baxendale) in London., “The two scripts were found at a TV studio which is no longer there. Apparently, the cast and crew were ordered to destroy their copies so the ending wouldn’t be leaked. However, these two slipped through the net.”, The scripts were discovered at Fountain Studios, Wembley in London, where the two Friends episodes were filmed., They have a pre-sale guide price of between Ł600 and Ł800 GBP, although the auction house believes they may sell for considerably more, given the show’s enduring global appeal. They are being offered with a ticket from a London radio station that ran a prize for fans to watch the show being filmed. , The sitcom, created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, aired on NBC from 1994 to 2004 and lasted for 10 seasons. Starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, it is one of the most popular TV shows of all time., The former staff member who found them, a retired Londoner, said: ““I found them in a bin a couple of week’s after filming had finished. It was part of my job to ensure everything was tidy and no rubbish was left around. I wasn’t sure what to do with them so just put them in my office drawer. I remember wondering which member of the cast they might have belonged to. Funnily enough, I’m not a big, Friends fan. , “I don’t dislike the show but I only recently watched the episodes I have the scripts for. American humour is different to ours. These scripts deserve to be owned by a big Friends fan.” The scripts will be offered in the January 12 Hanson Ross Auction in Royston, Hertfordshire, in England. , Editorial usage., CREDIT – Courtesy of Hanson Ross / MEGA. 08 Jan 2024 Pictured: The scripts – ‘The One with Ross’s Wedding Part I’.,Image: 835136060, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: World Rights, Model Release: no, Credit line: Courtesy of Hanson Ross/MEGA / The Mega Agency / Profimedia
