No probs. Yeah, Joking Apart was the precursor to Coupling and very well-written it was too.

I love it.

Ideally I'm looking for the old classic of one person trying to please two people in different rooms at the same time.

I strongly recommend the sitcom That's My Bush (by the South Park creators), as it's a great parody of sitcom conventions. Episode One, An Aborted Dinner Date, sees a flustered George Bush dashing back and forth between an intimate dinner with Laura and a dinner with pro-choice and anti-abortion leaders.

The films of Francis Veber are classic farce (one of his earliest was La Cage Aux Folles).

Specifically looking for someone who is struggling to entertain two different people/parties at the same time.

The Friend's episode called 'The One with the Two Parties' was very well done.

Was going to say, La Cage aux Folles too.
