In a remarkable turn of events, scripts from the beloved TV show “Friends” have fetched a staggering £22,000 at an auction. These scripts, which include the drafts for the season four finale set in the UK, were originally destined for destruction to keep the episode endings a secret. However, they were salvaged from a bin by a former staff member at Fountain Studios.
The auction, conducted by Hanson Ross auctioneers in Hertfordshire, saw intense bidding, far surpassing the initial estimates of £600-800. This sale not only highlights the enduring popularity of “Friends” but also underscores the value of television memorabilia in the collectors’ market. The scripts, once forgotten in a drawer, have now found their way into the hands of an international bidder, proving that the charm and appeal of this iconic series continue to resonate with fans across the globe.
