It’s like the nineties all over again.
Friends is a holy keepsake for most of us who grew up in the nineties and the rumour of a reunion is indicative of the huge desire for a movie of our favourite characters who we sometimes forget have aged considerably since appearing on our screens.
This makes this lost five minutes of film all the more important as we see a scene that was initially intended to air 14 years ago but was removed due to its content in context with historical events that took place around that time.
The scene centres around a joke Chandler makes in the airport, heading for his honeymoon. Chandler jokes about having a bomb and gets in trouble with airport security.
The scene was supposed to be aired two weeks after 9/11 and was deemed unsuitable to be aired.
Finally, more than 14 years later, the original footage has been shared with the world.
Enjoy five minutes of your nostalgic nineties.
