'I'm still friends with the person who applied my pubic wig': how we made Cold Feet
"A lot of it was autobiographical. When Adam won Rachel back by serenading her with a red rose up his bottom, that was based on me - with a bit of artistic licence."

British Comedy Guide, 20th June 2019At Karen's behest, Adam tries his hand at dramatherapy but finds it hard to see the point. It is difficult not to feel the same about an episode of Mike Bullen's romantic comedy-drama that seems to focus too much on Adam at the expense of equally interesting fellow characters, who this week cultivate some promising plotlines.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 21st January 2019I am surprisingly glad to see Cold Feet back. Mike Bullen's writing can still startle and, on occasion, delight. True, there are tribes on alien planets, never exposed to this "telly" thing, who could have, within 10 minutes, and possessed of a decent broadband width, identified the likelihood that the way-too-young barista fancied by James Nesbitt was, rather than aching to be hit on by a 50-year-old with dyed hair transplants, actually going out with his son. Cue the biggest non-shock since Theresa May wasn't voted Dancing Icon of the Year by EU! magazine. But did anyone see coming that first smidgen of a hint of something more... between Adam and Karen? Honestly? Really?
