You can choose three and three only.

One - Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in Father Of The Bride. That's my marriage goal. Warm, loving and stable

Two - Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. They were just so cute together

Three - Rocky and Adrian 🥊❤️

I loved Martin Freeman and Amanda what's-her-name when they played Dr and Mrs Watson, whilst being married in real life. The little looks and nuances between them were so lovely to watch. Genuinely gutted when they split because of their natural beauty on screen together.

Oh, I didn’t like them! I think when they filmed it their relationship was breaking down.
I much preferred in the first season when he started work as a locum and there was a proto-relationship between him and a colleague. There was real chemistry and they were so sweet.

I love Alvi and Annie in Annie Hall.
Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman in Truly Madly Deeply.
Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in Don’t Look Now.

Also agree with Frasier and Niles.

Fun with Dick and Jane - Jim Carey and Tea Leoni version - when we watched the film DH just started laughing at one point and I was like “bloody hell it’s funny but not that funny” and he explained he felt that would literally be us if the shit ever hit the fan 😆

Coronation Street - Jack and Vera Duckworth

on a non marital basis Sister Evangelina and Sister Monica Joan in call the Midwife. The banter was scripted but the acting chemistry between the actresses was excellent.

Jimmy McGill & Kim Wexler (Better Call Saul)
Ashley & Gordon (Colin from Accounts)

Pam & Mick
Jack & Vera from Corrie

Bette Davis and Joan Crawford because you could feel the hatred between them and whenever they acted together in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane it was honestly electric - incredible pairing for a film.

Lol. I always thought this was just me.
One of my fave scenes ever when Dawn came back.

Me too! I was so glad the writers got Tim and Dawn together in the end.

It was so understated and her boyfriend was such an insufferable arse. Love that they got their happy ending!
