Spaced with out Simon Pegg and Ed Wright ? Ummm No ...

If we are luckily it will go the same way as US Red Dwarf and Coupling and never make it past the pilot.

Some humour is best left in its native toungue ...

The office (I've never seen the US version, so I don't know what they had to change, but it has been successful. As least, to a degree.)

Alledgedly, Coupling is a UK version of Friends, with the Wikipedia summary describing it as:

the dating and sexual adventures and mishaps of six friends in their thirties,

. Although, further down the article, it quotes Moffat drawing his inspiration from Seinfeld. But that still allows for the initial premise to be a "UK friends".
