Actor Matthew Perry is relieved his new TV show is filmed close to the former Friends set - because he doesn't have to learn new road directions.

Perry, who plays Matt Albie in new TV series Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, says working close to the former set of the popular sitcom has brought back fond memories.

And he claims travelling to the Los Angeles studio is easy because it's the same route he took during his 10-year stint on the show.

He tells Heat magazine, "It's very bizarre. They just moved my trailer up here. So, like, last night I just looked at the stage as I was going home at 4 o'clock in the morning or whatever time it was, and I shook my head."

"We are shooting this new show that I love very much about five feet away from where I was for ten years. Although, it helps because I know how to get here in the morning."
