The first series of the British comedy drama television series Cold Feet was first broadcast on the ITV network from 15 November to 20 December 1998. The six episodes were written by series creator Mike Bullen, produced by Christine Langan, and directed by Declan Lowney, Mark Mylod and Nigel Cole. It follows the award-winning pilot episode, broadcast in 1997. The storylines focus on three couples: Adam Williams and Rachel Bradley, a couple in a fledgling relationship; Pete and Jenny Gifford, a married couple whose first child is born in the first episode; David and Karen Marsden, an upper-middle-class couple who are considering having a second child. They are played by James Nesbitt, Helen Baxendale, John Thomson, Fay Ripley, Robert Bathurst and Hermione Norris respectively.

The overall theme of the first series is love, sex and commitment. The actors play three couples who try to stay faithful to these themes and to each other, but are held back by such issues as impotence, infidelity, and unplanned pregnancy. Their lives are further complicated by their jobs, money troubles, and moving in together. Bullen embellished the scripts with events from his own personal life. The directors and producers made additional contributions, with the intent to keep the fiction in the programme as true to life as possible. The series was filmed in Manchester in the first half of 1998, using Granada Television's studios and exterior locations.

Critical reaction to the first episodes was negative, with many reviewers not liking the characters and finding the comedy drama format unusual. As the series progressed, critics' opinions became more positive; the production values rated highly and the fantasy scenes—which became a hallmark of Cold Feet—were well-received. An average of eight million viewers watched the series each week. The following year it won two awards from the Royal Television Society and one award from the Broadcasting Press Guild. It was also nominated for the Rose d'Or and a Banff Rockie Award. All six episodes have been released on VHS, DVD and internet media formats.

[edit] Episodes

Episode Writer Director Airdate
"Episode 1" Mike Bullen Declan Lowney 15 November 1998
Jenny's due date approaches, and she becomes increasingly irritated by Pete's enthusiastic preparation for the event, such as his route maps to the hospital and his expert knowledge of labour. Karen and David's son Josh misbehaves at nursery, so David blames their nanny Ramona (Jacey Salles). Adam and Rachel discuss moving in together but fall out after an argument over whose flat to live in. They put their differences aside when Jenny goes into labour while Pete is playing golf with David. As Rachel drives to pick up Pete, Adam stays with Jenny through the birth of her son, who she names Adam.[1]
"Episode 2" Mike Bullen Declan Lowney 22 November 1998
Adam and Rachel move into their first home together, but he soon moves out when he finds a marriage certificate with her name on it—and no divorce to match. He starts sleeping at Pete and Jenny's but is forcibly evicted to give them room with their new baby. He returns home and meets Kris (Lennie James), Rachel's husband who she has invited up to Manchester to sort out their divorce. Adam puts up with Kris for a while but eventually pays him £500 to go away, asking him to promise not to tell Rachel. Kris accepts and leaves. Adam is disappointed when Rachel tells him she also paid Kris £500 to leave. Karen takes control of hers and David's finances when his investment in a South African golf course flops.[2]
"Episode 3" Mike Bullen Mark Mylod 29 November 1998
David tells Adam that he is having problems with his sex life, so Adam seeks advice for "a friend" from Pete. Pete assumes Adam's "friend" is actually Adam himself and tells Jenny that Rachel cannot satisfy Adam in bed. Rachel decides she and Adam need to spice up their relationship by disclosing their fantasies to each other—and hers is to have sex in a shop window. He gets the keys to a charity shop from a friend and they sneak in after closing time. The fantasy quickly turns into a nightmare when a ramradier drives a car through the shop window. The police arrive and Adam and Rachel are arrested. Meanwhile, David decides to bypass traditional sex therapy by visiting a prostitute under an assumed name. Pete and Jenny start having sex for the first time since the birth of their baby, acting out her fantasy of a squire and his lowly servant, though his imagination is repeatedly invaded by an attractive barmaid.[3]
"Episode 4" Mike Bullen Mark Mylod 6 December 1998
Karen returns to work in publishing and is tasked with editing the new novel by renowned author Alec Welch (Denis Lawson), for whom she immediately falls. She believes that he feels the same way about her and is excited when a book tour in Liverpool means an overnight stay with him in a hotel. David learns of her plans and concludes that the only way to get back is to sleep with Ramona. Pete's parents visit him and Jenny, testing Pete's already fraying relationship with his father (Sam Kelly). In the wake of meeting Welch at the Marsdens' dinner party, Adam decides to start work on a novel about a man's fraying relationship with his father.[4]
"Episode 5" Mike Bullen Nigel Cole 13 December 1998
Following David's attempt to sleep with Ramona and Karen's attraction to Welch, the couple seek marriage guidance counselling. After David causes a scene in her office, the therapist suggests Karen and David go on a "first date" with each other to try to iron out their problems. Jenny looks for something to talk to Pete about that goes beyond the baby, and Adam seeks to prove to Rachel that he is not a "sad old man" after she finds out he is attracted to their neighbour (Anna Madeley) by organising a lad's night out. Rachel, Karen and Jenny go to a divorce party hosted by a friend of Karen's, while Adam and Pete try to score some E at a club.[5]
"Episode 6" Mike Bullen Nigel Cole 20 December 1998
David invites the other couples to a charity ball he and Karen are attending, where Jenny lets off a fire extinguisher over Natalie (Lorelei King), David's boss. Natalie demands compensation and a written apology from Jenny, putting David in a difficult position. At the ball, Rachel tells Karen that she is pregnant but does not know whether the father is Adam or Kris, whom she slept with when he was staying in Manchester. Adam proposes to Rachel, thinking he is the father, and is distraught when he learns he may not be. Rachel decides to move to London until the baby is born, and Adam follows her, imagining a Brief Encounter-esque reconciliation. He tells her at the station that he does not care who the father is. Rachel does not believe him and leaves anyway.[6]

[edit] Production

Cold Feet's pilot episode was broadcast in March 1997 to poor ratings and little critical impact. Andy Harries, the executive producer and Granada Television's controller of comedy, told the producer Christine Langan that they would never get a series commissioned from ITV. He, however, took the pilot to the Montreux Television Festival in May where it won a Silver Rose and the Golden Rose.[7] ITV still did not commission a series, and in the meantime Granada received offers from the BBC and Channel 4 for a six-part series.[8] In August 1997 David Liddiment—who had chaired the panel of judges at Montreux—became ITV's director of programming and pledged to rebrand the network's output. This included six new episodes of Cold Feet, which were announced that August.[9][10]

All six main cast members returned for the series. Each had mixed feelings about whether there would be a series commission; Fay Ripley did not stop thinking about it, in contrast to Robert Bathurst, who viewed the pilot as just another 50-minute play he had done.[11][12]

Following the resolution of Karen and David's storyline in the pilot, in which David concedes that the couple need to hire a nanny, Jacey Salles was cast as Ramona Ramirez. Salles was a bit-part actress in BBC sitcoms who managed a cafe in London. She was cast as a Spanish diva in the 1998 Granada television film The Misadventures of Margaret, which was produced by Harries and Langan. In her Cold Feet audition she was required to have a loud argument with her boyfriend over the telephone. She embellished this with "a bit of comic bastardisation of the English language" and won the part. Initially contracted for only two episodes, Salles assumed the Marsdens would employ a new nanny every few episodes, though she made two more appearances in the first series and eventually appeared in every series.[13]

Lennie James made two guest appearances as Kris Bumstead, though his second appearance in Episode 6 was in the form of flashbacks. James was keen to find out the resolution to the "who's the father?" cliffhanger, reportedly repeatedly asking the producers whether the baby was Kris's.[14] Other actors to make appearances were Denis Lawson as Alexander Welch and Sam Kelly as Algernon Gifford. John Thomson was pleased to work with Kelly, as he was a big fan of 'Allo 'Allo!, a sitcom in which Kelly appeared.[15]

[edit] Writing

During production of the pilot, Bullen had considered storylines for any potential series—including a plot where David loses his job.[16] Langan worked with him to create detailed plots for all six episodes, also acting as a script editor to redraft Bullen's work. When writing the pilot, Bullen drew on experiences from his own life and those of the producers. At that time he believed that he was like Adam, "drifting from one failed relationship to another". During the break in production he and his wife had had their first child, making him more like Pete.[17] The scenes where Pete and Jenny attend the antenatal classes were written from Bullen's memory, when he and his wife were "given callipers, forceps and a suction cup to play with".[18] The conclusion of the fourth episode, in which Pete's father dies on the way to his grandson's christening, was suggested by Harries, whose own experience of the death of his father taught him that people rarely have the opportunity to say goodbye to loved ones in real life.[15]

“ As David grapples with the fire extinguisher to remove the hose from the barrel, we hear running footsteps approaching. The door is suddenly flung open and two male colleagues of the counsellor's burst open into the room. In a second they take a look at the scene, and we see what they see - the counsellor looking lost, Karen looking shocked, and most significantly, David standing over the counsellor, brandishing a fire extinguisher in an apparently threatening manner. Presuming their colleague to be in danger, the two men hurl themselves at David, knocking him to the ground. He squeals as he goes down, and complains loudly as he's pinned to the floor. ”

—Episode 4's marriage guidance scene as originally scripted. Robert Bathurst believed that the scene left his cowardly character "exposed", so Mike Bullen rewrote it.[19]

Not all storylines were based on real life: For Karen and David's marriage guidance scenes in Episode 4, Bullen consulted the relationship support charity Relate. Actors and directors also had input into the scripts; Bullen's original script for the marriage therapy scenes ended with David shouting and apparently using a fire extinguisher as an offensive weapon. Bathurst was not convinced that was something that his character would do, as David is "too much of a coward to do anything overtly" and would not leave himself so "exposed".[19]

When storylining the six episodes, Bullen and Langan planned to split up Adam and Rachel at the series' climax, as "If [they] had just left them all living happily in their homes in Didsbury, there would be a less compelling reason to revisit them [in the second series]".[20] Harries opposed the idea, believing that the audience would want a happy ending for the characters.[21] He, however, allowed the writer and producer to proceed with their idea.[20] Langan and Episode 6 director Nigel Cole wanted Adam to leave after finding out about Rachel's pregnancy. She would have followed him and proven her love to him by singing to him over the PA system of the train—similar to the pilot's conclusion. Bullen thought that this idea was "atrocious", so spent the Easter weekend drafting an end to the series.[21]

The genesis of Rachel becoming pregnant, possibly by Kris, came during the filming of the second episode. Langan suggested to Bullen that they return to Rachel's marriage later in the series, using an adage she had learned from working on a soap opera that if the "seeds" of a storyline are sown early on it can pay off later.[20] The Brief Encounter homage was conceived close to filming. Bullen had not seen the film so had to rent it on video before writing the scene.[21]

[edit] Filming

Filming began in January 1998.[22] Each director had twelve days to film two episodes each, equating to approximately five minutes of screen-time per day.[23] Langan asked Father Ted director Declan Lowney to helm the first two episodes after his successful direction of the pilot. Lowney declined in order to shoot a film in Ireland with Terence Stamp; production on it was scheduled to begin in October 1997 and would have overrun into Cold Feet's production calendar. Funding for Lowney's film fell through and he took the two episodes of Cold Feet after Langan offered them to him a second time.[22] The other two directors were Mark Mylod and Nigel Cole.

Sets were constructed at Granada's studios in Manchester. Exterior filming and location shooting was done in and around the city. The climax to the first episode—where Rachel drives her Mini across a golf course to pick up Pete—was filmed at a large golf club near Manchester. A long lens was used to film the Mini approaching Thomson and Bathurst, making it appear closer to them than it was and avoiding having to drive it on the green. Filming on Episode 1 came close to overrunning, so Lowney filmed most of Jenny's birth scene in one uninterrupted take, encouraging the actors to ad-lib. Ripley wore a prosthetic abdomen to simulate the appearance of pregnancy throughout the episode and had a pubic wig applied for the birth scene. The uncredited baby who played Baby Adam in that scene was a two-week-old child who had been born two weeks premature, giving it the appearance of a new-born baby.[23] The conclusion of the first episode was originally scripted to feature Pete and Adam playing crazy golf indoors. Lowney did not like the scene, so made thirty minutes available at the very end of production and directed Nesbitt and Thomson to just "talk". The scene was used by Bullen and Langan as the basis for an attraction between Adam and Jenny, implied in the sixth episode and developed in the second series.[24]

For the car stunt in Episode 3, explosive charges were placed on the window to achieve a shatter effect, and the car was propelled up a ramp. The empty shop unit was dressed to look like a charity shop.

The scenes of Adam and Rachel having sex in a shop window in the third episode, inspired by one of Bullen's ex-girlfriends, was filmed in an empty shop unit near Piccadilly station. The unit was dressed to look like a charity shop, with various items and the bed added. Mylod and the stunt co-ordinator storyboarded the sequence where the car comes through the shop window before setting it up on location. The car was propelled up a ramp through the window and Nesbitt and Baxendale were switched with stunt doubles. Explosive charges were placed on the glass to achieve a shatter effect. As only one take could be done, Mylod trailed five cameras on the window. Filming ran from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following day. The location was near several clubs and many passers-by inquired what was being filmed. To avoid giving away the plot they were told that Baxendale was filming a bed advertisement, capitalising on her exposure from appearing in Friends.[25]

Another stunt scene was filmed for Episode 6; the charity ball scene was filmed over two days at a Masonic Lodge and concluded with a fight between Jenny and Natalie (played by Lorelei King). The shots of Jenny spraying Natalie with a fire extinguisher were limited to two takes because it took so long to re-apply King's make up. The table that Ripley and King's stunt doubles fall through had its legs weakened, and the glasses on the table were replaced with sugar glass.[26] The Brief Encounter fantasy was filmed at a steam railway near Rochdale. Nigel Cole used the scene as an opportunity to make his mark as a television director.[27] Most of the scene was filmed by Cole and the main crew. Establishing shots were filmed by Langan and the second unit, due to time constraints. The lighting and focus of the fantasy station was intended to be a direct contrast to the harsh modernity of Piccadilly, which appeared in the "real life" scenes.[20]

[edit] Broadcast

ITV trailed the series from 3 November to 12 November. The trailer featured clips from the pilot episode, including the scene where Adam sings with a rose clenched between his buttocks. Six people complained to the Independent Television Commission (ITC), the commercial television regulator, about the scene being inappropriate. Their complaints were not upheld, with the ITC ruling that the trailer did not breach the programming code, as "the humour of the piece was apparent from the outset".[28]

The series was broadcast on ITV from 15 November to 20 December 1998.[29] Harries wanted the series to air in the 9 p.m. timeslot but ITV Network Centre wanted it on at 10 p.m. (the same time the pilot had been scheduled), because the 9 p.m. timeslot was traditionally what was referred to as "the ironing slot"—programmes that can be watched without viewers having to concentrate. David Liddiment compromised with Harries and scheduled Cold Feet for a 9.30 p.m. start.[8] However, Episode 6 began at 10 p.m.[30] The BBC responded by scheduling Andrew Davies' adaptation of Vanity Fair at the same time.[31]

[edit] Reception

[edit] Ratings

Episode 1 averaged 7.47 million viewers over its hour, peaking at 9.2 million with a low point of 6.9 million. The episode ranked as the thirty-fourth most-watched programme of the week and the sixth most-watched drama (excluding soap-operas).[32] The second episode dropped seven places and 1.9% on the previous week with 7.33 million viewers.[33] It recovered to 7.46 million the following week but still managed only fortieth place in the Top 70 most-watched programmes.[34] The fourth week held steady at 7.44 million viewers and fortieth position again.[35] It gained its best figures with Episode 5, which was seen by 7.91 million, making thirty-second in the Top 70.[36] The final episode of the series suffered from its schedule change, dropping to fifty-ninth and 6.77 million viewers. Over the six weeks, Cold Feet averaged a 34% audience share, which was six points below ITV's Sunday peaktime average.[37] A rounded average of 8 million viewers was ascribed to the series.[38]

[edit] Critical reaction

The series was welcomed as "the British Thirtysomething" and there was additional publicity generated off the back of Helen Baxendale's appearances in Friends.[39][40] The first two episodes did not impress critics; The Independent's Nicholas Barber called Episode 1 "the most depressing programme [he'd] ever seen". Commenting on the ending, he observed that "in comedyland, the police's main duty is to taxi expectant fathers to hospital". Barber concluded his review with positive comments about the rest of the series, singling out Ripley as being "reminiscent of Elaine in Seinfeld".[41] A. A. Gill also criticised that episode's conclusion, comparing it to a Norman Wisdom comedy.[40] On The Late Review, Germaine Greer described Nesbitt's acting as "especially awful" and suggested that the series had been developed by a marketing department. Christine Langan responded to Gill's and Greer's comments in Broadcast with a summary of Granada's development of the series.[10]

Critical reaction improved with the third episode; writing in New Statesman, Andrew Billen praised Episode 3 as being "intricately constructed as a farce", and commented positively on Ripley's and Nesbitt's acting. Billen compared the production and fantasy scenes with Thirtysomething and Ally McBeal.[42] In The Times, Paul Hoggart summarised all six episodes as walking "a tightrope between satire and sentimentality, frequently falling off on the sugary side", but wrote positively of the writing, directing, acting, and editing. He approved of the deliberately unhappy ending, looking forward to seeing how Rachel's departure would be resolved in the second series.[43] Andy Harries attributed the mixed critical reaction to the unusual timeslot the series was given.[44]

It won in the Best Situation Comedy and Best Comedy Drama categories at the Royal Television Society Awards and Best Entertainment Award at the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards.[38] The third episode was nominated for the Golden Rose of Montreux, though did not win. Ian Johnson, the publicist for the series, believed that the European judges did not understand the farcical humour in the episode, noting that the British delegates to the festival were "helpless with laughter".[25] The same episode was nominated for the 1999 Banff Rockie Award for Best Comedy—the only non-American series to receive a nomination in that category.[45] It lost to the Ally McBeal episode "Theme of Life".[46]

[edit] Non-broadcast release

The first two episodes were released on a single VHS tape on 11 October 1999.[47] The other four episodes were scheduled for release over two more videos, to be released on 1 November[48] and 29 November[49] but were cancelled, owing to the release of the full series on two tapes on 15 November.[50] It was released on 2-disc region 2 DVD on 25 September 2000.[51] A re-release, with new packaging and menus, occurred on 26 March 2006.[52] The DVD was released in Australia on 4 February 2002 and in the United States on 25 January 2005.[53][54]

In July 2007 the pilot and first series were made available as streaming media on ITV's revamped itv.com website.[55] Additionally, it was one of the first batch of series from ITV's archives to be made available for purchase on ITV's iTunes Store shop, introduced in April 2008.[56]
