"Matt LeBlanc has said that he has no plans for any sort of Friends reunion, claiming that the show was a chapter of his life that is now &amp;quot;closed&amp;quot;. LeBlanc, who played Joey Tribbiani in the classic &amp;#039;90s sitcom, admitted that it was part of the &amp;quot;best ten years&amp;quot; of his life, but appeared to rule out any plans for further TV or big screen instalments.   &amp;quot;It was the best ten years of my life. I had the best time doing it. But I don&amp;#039;t think &amp;#039;miss&amp;#039; is the right word. It will always have a special place in my heart, but that was a time and a place and that chapter is closed,&amp;quot; said LeBlanc.  &amp;quot;It was very sad when it ended but you move on - all good things come to an end.&amp;quot; The comic actor plays a twisted, darker version of himself in BBC Two and Showtime&amp;#039;s Episodes, which launches its second series in the UK next month. Speaking about his joy at playing the role, he said: &amp;quot;My whole career I have played very politically correct characters and to not have to worry about major network constraints - you can&amp;#039;t say that or you can&amp;#039;t do that gesture or put your hand there or refer to those - is such fun. Now it&amp;#039;s like &amp;#039;**** all that&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Episodes follows the story of British writers and lovers Sean (Stephen Mangan) and Beverly (Tamsin Greig), who are lured to Hollywood to adapt their British boarding-school sitcom Lyman&amp;#039;s Boys. However, the show is quickly changed by the US networks to the retitled Pucks and an arrogant, washed-up &amp;#039;Matt LeBlanc&amp;#039; is cast as the lead. LeBlanc added of the new run: &amp;quot;It starts four months after the end of the first season, Pucks! has been picked up and we are in production. Sean and Beverly are not together and we are doing our best to navigate through this awkward love triangle.  &amp;quot;At the end of the first season, Sean says to Beverly, &amp;#039;When we get home to Britain, I&amp;#039;m out&amp;#039;; so, should they go back to London, their marriage is definitely over. In the first season, Beverly wants to go home and he wants to stay - in the second season he wants to go home, but if they stay she hopes she can get him to get past what happened and he can forgive her.&amp;quot; Episodes returns to BBC Two in May. Season two will premiere in the US on July 1 on Showtime.   Watch a clip from series one of Episodes below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
