I didn't watch the original run (as I thought it was too "old" for me at the time) but I really enjoyed this episode. It's easy to get into as a new viewer, and get a sense of the characters and their relationships.
I so wanted 'I Adam, take thee Rachel....' to happen.
I loved the episode, so glad it's back and as good as it was.
Haha There'd have been a double irony to that - what with Helen Baxendale having been in Friends I was just comparing CF to Friends earlier in my head.

I'm really pleased with it, so far. Monday evenings, nine to ten, from now on are committed - no phone, no kindle and no distractions from Bebe, my dog. 😁
Mixed feelings. It was good. Rachel is missed, but I guess that's sort of the point. Her absence and Adam's new adventures are pretty much the lynchpin of the relaunch - would there really be a new angle to bring the show back with, with a full cast?

I like that the kept the cheesy old 90s logo!
I'm the other side of your coin, I watched it for the first time tonight and that hour seems to have lasted a week! I'm not tempted to return, which is a shame as I wanted to like it.
To watch a brand new episode of Cold Feet after watching the series as a teenager then watching the dvds and the re runs was so good. Im an avid fan of the show, i was really worried it will be a let down but all in all i thought it was a good return. Just too much packed in one episode and the breaks were so annoying. Would have liked the wedding to have been stretched over another episode to have include more air time for Karen/Jenny/Pete etc
Im really hoping it goes strength to strength maybe for another series to be made then maybe to rest it and bring it back in another 10 yrs for a one off episode or a series lol
I enjoyed though it did feel a bit like the James Nesbitt show. Hope the next episodes show more of the ensemble cast. The ages of the kids felt a bit wrong too young Adam and Matthew looked the same age but Adam was born a few years before him. Those niggles aside it was nice to see them all back together again.
Didn't watch the original series - this was OK, but not completely sold. I too was waiting for I Adam take thee Rachel ! Is there any history between Jenny and Adam? Got some sort of vibe there.

They kissed at the end of series 1, Jenny has always had strong feelings for him but he sees her more as a sister. They nearly kissed again at the end if series 5 but both saw sense
Never saw the original when it was on TV but just happened to watch the entire run over the last few days and then realised this new series was on so really happy but wow so strange coming back to it after 15 years.
HD doesn't help at all with ageing the actors. Of course in 15 years they have aged anyway but a shame we have to film everything now in HD so you can see every bloody wrinkle and pore!
Cast are all good as I would have expected. Dont know.. found it all looked a bit gloomy and dark and trying to be clever with the way it was filmed. Cold feet doesn't need any of that, it should be more about the characters and the writing.
Still some funny moments- hopefully it will warm up as the series goes on. Just felt its lost something- a lightness? Something. Felt a bit like it was trying to be some clever ITV drama at times..

Which is usually a good sign as it means that people are actually watching it rather than moaning about it online.

They filmed that scene near where I used to live in Moston. I recognised the old cafe on the corner when I watched that episode.
I dipped in and out of cold feet over the years so I'm not really sure how much of a miss she is tbh.

If you can play it back on catch up you could Shazam it. They did play part of Open up your Door by Richard Hawley earlier.
Haha
Yup!!
Thanks. Looks like I'll have to Shazam it from catch up.
Been through all Richard Hawley's albums - not there. Tho' it does sound like him.
Just google it...
