In these three series, we follow this group of friends throughout weekends away and tricky date nights, weddings and funerals, Christmas celebrations and counselling sessions - all of which give them plenty of opportunity for flirting, fighting, competitiveness and reprehensible behaviour.

He ends by reflecting on our digital age in which we, the little blue dot on the screen, have become the most important compass point.
