"Friends" scripts that were thrown in the garbage decades ago in London now up for auction
CBSN
Two original "Friends" scripts, parts one and two of "The One With Ross's Wedding," have quite a story of their own to tell.
After being dumped in a London trash can 25 years ago, the scripts are headed to auction, Hansons Auctioneers announced this week. The 1998 episodes made up the season four finale, and follow the comedic quintet of Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler and Rachel as they travel to England to attend Ross' wedding.
After they were done filming, the cast and crew were ordered to destroy their copies of the scripts so the storyline wouldn't get leaked before the episodes aired, according to the auction house. But it appears a pair of scripts were found by a now-retired staff member at the TV studio where the shows were filmed, Hansons explained.
