But Bellman said she's not sure if Coupling would work today. “I don't want to see old Jane Christie,” she told a journalist (Bellman turned 58 in July). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.

Still hoping for a Coupling movie?

Co-star Sarah Alexander has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Coupling movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”

On the subject of whether there could be a Coupling film, Kate Isitt stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
