The arrival of Friends on Netflix has been hailed as “the best New Years’s gift”.

All 10 series of the classic sitcom, which originally aired on television from 1994 to 2004 but has been repeated consistently since, is now available on the streaming service in the UK and Ireland.

Netflix announced the news on Twitter in a post reading: “We’ll be there for you. All episodes of #Friends, now streaming.”

The service had hinted the show’s arrival was imminent a few days earlier when a tweet was posted reading: “The One with the Show Everyone’s Been Asking Us to Add,” which is a play on the structure of the show’s episode titles.
