It has been said that acting out one side of a telephone conversation is one of the toughest tests for an actor. On that basis, Matt LeBlanc gives something of a masterclass in this episode as his character is forced to make a series of humiliating phone calls to his former co-stars on Friends: studio boss Merc wants Matt to rope one of them in for a guest appearance on Pucks! But before all that he has a surprise encounter with his stalker, who turns up in his kitchen unannounced, and topless.
