Cold Feet

Cold Feet recap - Sir 'Jack Soffalot' rides again

There's a real generation gap this week, with Skype nudity, cats that look like Hitler and revolving door gags that prove the oldies are not always the goodies.

Three episodes in, Mike Bullen's dramedy reboot has found its groove. Principally, that's because, after an opener that came across as a frantic James Nesbitt vehicle, it's back to being an authentic ensemble piece - and one with real depth as its characters deal with the difficulties, disappointments and general sagginess of middle-aged life. Tonight, David faces an early morning trip to the cop shop and a lapse in judgment causes problems for Jenny.

Cold Feet recap: WTF! Where did the pillow come from?

With stalking, cheating, depression and assault, there are way too many issues being shoehorned in at once. How will the gang ever survive a whole series?

Cold Feet episode two review

This comedy drama continues to make us feel warm inside.

Twitter outrage after Cold Feet second city gaffe

Viewers of the much loved show took to Twitter in their droves after leading character Angela wrongly referred to Manchester, where much of Cold Feet is based, as England's second largest city, which is actually Birmingham.

Adam kicks off this second episode in typical cheeky chappie fashion. Standing at the altar with his beautiful bride who's waiting for him to say "I do", he starts to panic. He sorts out his worries in the toilets, telling his pals after the ceremony that he can't go and live in Singapore with his new wife like he told her he would. He can't leave his son at such a difficult age. "When would be the best time to break it to her?" he asks. "Er, before you got married?" is the reply.

So while Adam panics and frets as he goes through "the five stages of grief - and all before take off", poor old Pete is the opposite. He's sunken in a terrible depression, with no money and no hope. Jenny is similarly fed-up with her lot, and tries to recapture the spark by suggesting a bit of bedroom role play, but poor Pete has no appetite for anything.

One should not, of course, kvetch about the return of Cold Feet: it was the first time round, and is once more, a smart, funny and gently affecting drama, well written and acted and so forth. Its exhumation does remind you, however, how little TV of this quality Britain now produces. Tonight's second episode further tweaks the tensions simmering among the group of old friends, who are finding themselves enjoying middle age to markedly different degrees.

Cold Feet episode two recap - life begins at 50?

Middle age is not such a barrel of laughs. The whole gang is miserable - apart from Jenny, who wants to do some kinky role play ... as a mill-owner.
