Further details
Whilst Adam travelled the world on business, his 15 year-old-son, Matthew chose boarding school and, under the guardianship of Godmother, Karen, has turned into a well-adjusted young man, or so it seems. It breaks Karen's heart to see what Rachel is missing out on, and unlike Adam, she's not fooled by Matt's bravado. What this kid needs more than anything right now is his Dad.
Pete and Jenny are down on their uppers. With two teenagers to support, Pete's juggling two jobs; cabbie and home-help, and Jenny's work in Events Management at a grand hotel is hardly bringing home the bacon. Fast approaching 50, mortgaged up to the eyeballs, Pete is understandably miserable but is pleased to see his best mate again.

Press
Cold Feet is the smuggest thing on TV, and I enjoyed it
How the bejaysus did Adam manage to pull a drop-dead gorgeous Singaporean beauty like Angela? Trust me, no one is that charming.
Ian Hyland, The Mirror, 11th September 2016Cold Feet review
So did the actors slip back seamlessly into their roles? Well I thought the girls did, but I'm not so sure about the boys.
Steven Broadbent, Telly Binge, 10th September 2016Cold Feet, ITV, review
Mike Bullen's drama tackles midlife as if it's never been away.
Jasper Rees, The Arts Desk, 6th September 2016Cold Feet fans reckon they know series ending already
Fans reckon Adam - who lost his wife Rachel (Helen Baxendale) in a car crash in the original series - will ditch Angela in favour for Tina by the end of the new series.
Hanna Flint, Metro, 6th September 2016Mike Bullen's Manchester-set dramedy returns after 13 years. So does the old magic still linger? It's tricky to tell from this opener, which spends so much time mapping out how its principals' lives (sans the late Rachel) have changed, as well as getting new story arcs running, that everything seems rushed, even frantic. Which perhaps explains why the best moments involve deadpan Pete (John Thomson) slowing things down: "Pete, do you think Jen might be right?" "Very rarely."
Jonathan Wright, The Guardian, 5th September 2016Return of Cold Feet is bleaker than just nostalgia
Returning after 13 years, the feelgood drama of the late 90s seems a far gloomier proposition in Brexit Britain.
Filipa Jodelka, The Guardian, 5th September 2016Cold Feet review: it's great to have the gang back
Pete has lost his mojo; Adam has found a much younger bride. But this reunion is enjoyable for the characters - and, thankfully, for us.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 5th September 2016Cold Feet: Oh it's good to have you back!
Ultimately, judging from the first episode alone, it's clear that any worries about Cold Feet's return were unwarranted as this new series seems to maintain all of what made the original so great.
Matt Donnelly, The Custard TV, 5th September 2016Cold Feet - revival favoured poignancy over nostalgia
It's been 13 years since Cold Feet's credits last rolled, during which time the thirtysomethings had turned into fiftysomethings. Their cute toddlers were now hormonal teenagers. Could the old magic be recaptured with this heavily hyped comeback? Largely, yes. Cue sighs of relief from fans who feared their memories would be tarnished (for many of us, the BBC's dreadful 10th anniversary of Nineties hit drama This Life still lingers).
