Return of Cold Feet is bleaker than just nostalgia

Returning after 13 years, the feelgood drama of the late 90s seems a far gloomier proposition in Brexit Britain.

Cold Feet review: it's great to have the gang back

Pete has lost his mojo; Adam has found a much younger bride. But this reunion is enjoyable for the characters - and, thankfully, for us.

Cold Feet: Oh it's good to have you back!

Ultimately, judging from the first episode alone, it's clear that any worries about Cold Feet's return were unwarranted as this new series seems to maintain all of what made the original so great.

Cold Feet - revival favoured poignancy over nostalgia

It's been 13 years since Cold Feet's credits last rolled, during which time the thirtysomethings had turned into fiftysomethings. Their cute toddlers were now hormonal teenagers. Could the old magic be recaptured with this heavily hyped comeback? Largely, yes. Cue sighs of relief from fans who feared their memories would be tarnished (for many of us, the BBC's dreadful 10th anniversary of Nineties hit drama This Life still lingers).

Cold Feet - stylewatch

The first look at the reunion of the 90s' favourite middle-class Manchester couples is a sartorial lesson in anthropology.
