DRAMA
COLD FEET ITV, 9pm
After the predictable moment of passion between Adam (James Nesbitt) and work colleague Sarah (Amy Huberman), Adam is wracked with guilt.
It doesn’t help that he and Tina (Leanne Best) are approaching their first anniversary and she is trying to get pregnant.
There’s an awkward drink between Adam and Sarah when she complains: “It’s like we’re avoiding each other.” She wants everything to go back to normal – highly unlikely with their chemistry threatening to throw them into a passionate clinch at any moment.
Meanwhile, Jen (Fay Ripley) thinks she and the slovenly Pete (John Thomson) are stagnating – watch out for her fantasy appearance on Dragons’ Den.
And everything comes crashing to a head at an exceedingly awkward joint 50th birthday dinner party for Adam and Pete, with various things happening to possibly split up the whole gang for good. Never was there a more lacklustre rendition of Happy Birthday.
