Cold feet: Amours et petits bonheurs

..really liked the original production.. so when it ended at what appeared to be a very logical conclusion.. was pretty much at the time satisfied. But then surfing for programming.. fourteen years later, and to discover they've brought it back.. said WTF! How and why should believe this is going to work a decade and a half later... well guess what.. it's truly gotten better. Now up to date in today's world, everything is so much more complex and interesting. And there was passion there before for Hermione Norris, but now it is real-deal serious. So many ensemble productions have gone by the boards, but these guys have given new life and hope to all those seriously worthwhile, but thought past-time series. It is most desired they continue on for as long as they can keep producing such great work.. bravo to all involved.

I never saw this on TV but bought the box set two weeks ago, not entirely sure I was going to like it. By the second episode I was completely hooked, and have watched the entire series in record time. Something about it makes it totally unputdownable. The writing is brilliant; I often found myself laughing out loud and then close to tears within one and the same episode. Despite being beyond the age bracket at which I gather the programme was targeted, unmarried and having no children I could still identify with the characters. I think that at one time or another I either empathized or became exasperated with each of them in turn.

The acting is superb throughout, and in the last two episodes it positively took my breath away. Hermione Norris in particular was absolutely extraordinary; why her acting ability doesn't seem to be given the recognition it deserves, I cannot imagine. By the end of the show, I think all the other characters were somewhat in the shadow of hers - which is a massive tribute to her and takes nothing at all away from the excellent work of the others.

There are too many comic highlights to mention, but I particularly appreciated David trying to get his baby son off to sleep by reading stock market reports, Pete's mum being introduced to the joys of smoking cannabis and the mens' ability to play decent golf being affected by the vagaries of their sex lives.

I can't recommend this strongly enough - it really is a television masterpiece.

Cold feet a comedy about couples, sex, love, families & sex...they seem to like sex...........then again who doesn't!!

This is British comedy better than its best, this is COMEDY at its best. It'll stand against all others. And this is not only because the gorgeous Helen Baxendale is in it.

The series starts 6 months after the one off play finished. All the couples are still together [ just ] despite the best attempts of Parenthood, sex problems [ told you they liked it ] money troubles and a forgotten Wedding, i won't tell you whose if you haven't seen it yet.

This is comedy for grown ups, not only because of the racy content, both visual & verbal, but because it makes you think as well as laugh.

Watch it you'll LOVE IT. And it must have done a wonder for the sale of roses!

Well what can I say?. A wonderful sitcom. Human, funny, warm. It has made me laugh and certainly made cry. It sounds maybe stupid but as the show runs you become familiar with the characters and the persons. The final is too tragic...I never thought I would cry in front of my TV. I'm gonna miss all those fictive people...

The best TV-show ever!

Cold Feet was set in the north west of England, in Manchester, not the Midlands.

We found it just as good as everyone has said. Funny, touching, sad, and well acted & staged. So much so that we bought the full DVD set when it finished.

The only thing that I would say is that it seemed to use many of the situations that were used in 'thirtysomething' ( finest ensemble drama series ever !), and sometimes came very close to the actual stories in 'ts'. You could say that thius was natural, dealing with the same type of people, but it was a bit naughty.
