The idea of a Friends reunion has been mooted over the years, although Aniston - arguably the highest-profile member of the original cast - has previously commented that “it ended at the right time when people still wanted more”.

Although they've embarked on different paths since the show's 2004 wrap, the programme's stars have stayed in touch. Cox was maid of honour at Aniston's wedding to Justin Theroux last August, with Kudrow also in attendance as a guest.

Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, Friends was a cult hit that epitomised what it was like to be a twenty-something grappling with life, love and more. The finale alone was watched by 52.5 million viewers when it was broadcast in May 2004 - and episodes such as the first Ross 'n Rachel kiss went down in TV history.
