Coupling: Series 2, Episode 1 - The Man With Two Legs - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Jeff gets himself into a whole world of trouble after managing to talk to a stunning brunette on his commute, whom he has fallen in love with over the sight of one of her calves each day. Unfortunately, he has a problem: too many legs.

Further details

Jeff has fallen in love with a woman who gets on his train every morning. By the time he gets a chance to speak to her he is in such a state of hyper-tension that he manages to blurt out that he's only got one leg. Chrissie is enchanted, thinking Jeff is very brave.

She introduces him to her brother, who is an amputee, and his disability support group. She also offers Jeff a night of passion with her and her gorgeous flatmate, and a whole load of saucy lingerie. A weeping Jeff begs Sally's new boyfriend to chop his leg off.
