Cold Feet

Cold Feet is a British comedy drama television series produced by Granada Television for ITV. It was created by Mike Bullen, who also wrote most of the episodes, and produced by Christine Langan, Spencer Campbell and Emma Benson. The series began on 15 November 1998, following the successful one-off television pilot broadcast in 1997, and ran for 32 episodes before concluding on 16 March 2003. The series is set in Manchester and follows three couples, played by an ensemble cast, who have trouble with committing to each other however hard they try.

The cast were not widely known before their appearances in the series but their careers received significant boosts; most of the actors received British Comedy Award nominations and James Nesbitt won Best TV Comedy Actor three times. The series was and remains critically acclaimed, winning multiple British Comedy Awards, TRIC Awards, and the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series. It maintained consistently high viewing figures, regularly beating other channels in head-to-head ratings battles.

Bullen, an inexperienced screenwriter, developed the series as something for people of his class and generation—middle-class thirty-somethings—to watch, as an alternative to soap operas and costume dramas. Other British screenwriters, including Danny Brocklehurst, cite Cold Feet as an influence on their writing. The series was a springboard for the careers of many directors, including Tom Hooper. It has been broadcast in over 34 countries and the format sold to producers in the United States and Italy; American network NBC co-produced a version that was cancelled after four episodes were aired. Spin-off merchandise has been released, including DVDs, books and soundtracks. (näytä vähemmän)
