The Sex remains the same, but the City was a less familiar one last night as four glamorous ladies and a retinue of A-list stars stepped out on the red carpet, not in New York, but in London's Leicester Square.

However, in the meantime HBO has a sort of glamourous version of The Office with Curb Your Enthusiasm - currently showing on BBC Four.
