DVD Description

Cold Feet – The Complete Collection is an 11 disc box set containing every episode from all five series of the award-winning comedy. With its distinctive brand of comedy, Cold Feet has won the hearts of viewers and critics alike. Superbly written, it has been unique in offering an apt portrayal of thirty-something love with an achingly real sense of humour.

Series 1: Here we're given an introduction to the fantastically funny and gripping characters that make Cold Feet. Adam and Rachel wage a territorial battle over whose place to move into, only to discover that Rachel is still married. Meanwhile, Jenny and Pete have a baby but are finding it more difficult than they had imagined, and David and Karen are forced to seek marriage counselling.

Series 2: In this series the three young couples from up North are back with a new set of problems. Stranded on a train platform six months ago, Adam has descended into bachelor squalor and, in a desperate attempt to get back on track, has begun dating again. Jenny and Pete's marriage has taken a turn for the worse, while David and Karen’s relationship has taken on an unexpected twist. Rachel on the other hand is spotted in a supermarket with an unknown baby...

Series 3: The perennial saga of relationship drama continues for the three young couples during the third series of Cold Feet. David and Karen rediscover the joys of parenthood with their new child, but David risks loosing it all when the beautiful Jessica comes into the equation. Pete leaves the family home as Pete and Jenny's relationship goes from bad to worse, and Rachel and Adam start talking marriage!

Series 4: In this series the future is starting to look very uncertain for the three couples. Adam and Rachel are facing rigorous adoption procedures whilst--unknown to Rachel--Adam's first love has resurfaced and is intent on winning him back. David is battling to keep his marriage together, while Karen's drinking problem spirals out of control and her interests turn to her editor, Mark. Pete is abandoned as Jenny sets of to New York, but all is not lost as a new love interest arrives in the form of Jo, Rachel's new gorgeous Australian friend.

Series 5: In this series the thirty-something's from up North are reunited for more trials of marriage, friendship and parenthood--with both hilarious and poignant results. Adam and Rachel embark on their new life as parents with the realisation that baby definitely makes three. Pete and Jo return from an idyllic life in Sydney, while Ramona gets involved with the new local lifeguard, and David and Karen discover that an amicable divorce might not be as easy as they'd hoped.

Synopsis

Cold Feet is an hilarious and poignant comedy which explores the trials and tribulations of modern couples, as experienced by a group of thirty-somethings living in Manchester. Delving into their tangled web of friendship- and relationship-related dramas, Cold Feet switches from great comedy to touching pathos; from raunchy love affairs to absolute tragedy.

Customer Reviews

Nothing but the best
Occasionally there is a series or programme when everything comes together as near perfectly as can be imagined - acting, writing, production and so on. Cold Feet is one such series.
There is a sense that though it is clear the actors worked well together, they may have gelled off screen as well. The writer's consistency is remarkable as he tells the story of these characters through so many agonies and ecstasies of life. Cold Feet never descends into the trivial or maudlin, never tries to get laughs just for the sake of laughs, but shows true sensitivity to the natural comedy of life as well as the difficult and tragic.
All elements are woven together so very well by all concerned and, as a previous reviewer has written, these people become friends from whom it is difficult to take one's leave at the end.
It was probably wise to stop at five series; few can tell when things are going to degenerate if production continues, but Cold Feet went out on a high and there are elements that keep you watching to the final frames.
One of the best of purchases that will be on and off the screen for us for many years.
There are interesting bonus features with this DVD, too.

Missing old friends
We live abroad and so miss good British TV. This show is the best of British TV. My wife would remind me that it was only a show and not real, but I'd have to do the same for her when she got too involved in the characters and plot. When we got to the end of the series we felt like we were saying goodbye to old friends. Hopefully, that tells you how great the show is, rather than how sad we are.

Cold Feet is the best
My husband bought me this box set last christmas and it took a while before I got around to watching it. I played each episode every day while on my exercise bike. I had forgotten just how good it was, and although I had seen it first time around I still laughed and cried. Why don't they make shows like this any more. The script is fantastic and the actors great.
