08/06/09man watches "friends" for 84 hours

Postby Dark Blue » Aug 9th, '09, 03:25

A budding actor watched every episode of TV sitcom Friends back to back - and stayed awake for 84 hours.

Steve Misiura sat through all 238 episodes of the American comedy and smashed the existing world record of 72 hours for watching TV non-stop.

He said: 'I love Friends, but this did indeed hurt. At around 72 hours I wanted to die.'

The 31-year-old suffered nausea, stomach cramps and hallucinations during the sponsored Friends-a-thon, which will help pay his fees for acting school.

'I started hallucinating,' he said. 'I was saying to my friend, "What's happening to this room? The wall keeps disappearing."

'I was also getting quite delirious and not knowing what I was doing, but it helped that every hour I was updating my photo log.'

As well as posting photos on his website, he kept a log of the cameo appearances in the show by Brad Pitt, then Jennifer Aniston's husband, Bruce Willis, Jennifer Saunders and Jean Claude Van Damme.

Steve invited friends to join him at his flat in Brixton, south London, at different stages of his marathon effort, ate apples to ward off fatigue and set alarms every five minutes to keep him awake.

After 41 hours, the first signs of a real struggle set in.


He wrote on his log: 'Heartburn, dermatitis on hands, mad twitches and heavy eyes…. I'd like to go to bed but have another 50 hours to watch.'

At 67 hours he said: 'Near the end of season 8… Rach is being evil to Ross, Joey is being evil to Chandler, I might be evil to Gaz and Mus [his friends]… I should be hating this by now, but I love it. Has dementia set in?'

By 77 hours, he had only the strength to mention how many hours he had been watching and by the 81st he said 'I'm delirious and Phoebe is getting married.'

He eventually finished the 83 hour and 40 minute session at 5.40pm on Monday.

During his attempt Guinness World Records advised him to take a break of five minutes every hour and fifteen minutes every eight hours - but Mr Misiura took a rest only every 16 hours to get through the challenge more quickly.

He has been sponsored by Wendy Craig, who plays Matron in The Royal, Likely Lads actor James Bolam and actress Natalie Dormer, who starred as Anne Bolyen in The Tudors.

He has raised £1,500 towards his £7,000 acting course at London’s Central School of Speech and Drama this autumn and is waiting for Guinness World Records to rule on his claim.

Wow, I think in a few years time I could do what this guy did. I'm pretty sleepless most of my days.
