ITV has ordered an eighth series of Cold Feet. It will screen six more episodes in 2018. The news follows on from over 5 million viewers watching the last series.
British Comedy Guide, 31st October 2017Last week's closing revelation saw the carousel of bittersweet middle-age inconveniences stop at teen pregnancy. The gathering of the kids too young to have a child, and the parents who aren't ready to be grandparents, prompts the predictable shouting, speeches, learning and staring into space backed by piano ballads, but it's compassionately handled. Meanwhile, there's a fresh burden for the perpetually overwhelmed Pete and Jenny (John Thomson and Fay Ripley).

BBC, 8th September 2017Cold Feet, series 2 episode 1, review
It's always incredibly risky to revive a much-loved show. Few manage to recreate the magic, let alone match the success. Porridge, Red Dwarf and Still Open All Hours have all been dusted off and brought back to our screens, and are still chugging away, but with a fraction of the viewers and former acclaim. Cold Feet (ITV) is the exception.

Susanna Lazarus, Radio Times, 7th August 2017Interview: rarely asked questions - John Thomson
John Thomson is best known for his performances onscreen. He has shown his comic chops in The Fast Show and in his work with Steve Coogan and in much more and he has also shown his acting chops in Cold Feet. He is currently filming a new series of Cold Feet to go out later this year. Now Thomson has stepped behind the cameras to executive produce Dying Laughing, a fascinating documentary about the art of comedy. The format is fiendishly simple - a succession comedians talk about their craft, how they go about it and what it means to them. And boy what a cast.
