This is about a group of 6 friends (3 couples) and the trials and tribulations of life. Initally, the pilot was made just to revolve around James Nesbitt and Helen Baxendale, but thankfully the others became part of the show which makes you laugh and cry from start to finish. I have had this for quite some time now, purchasing it when it first came out and have watched it time and time again. Each series gets stronger than the last and the jokes are funnier and the lives of each character are really played out well. You go through Adam (James Nesbitt) and Rachel (Helen Baxendale) first meeting (the pilot episode), to becoming parents to a devasting end which ended the programme itself. Jenny (Fay Ripley) and Pete (John Thomson) having their first child together to them splitting and Pete becoming involved with someone else Jo Ellison (Kimberley Joseph) in Series 4. David (Robert Bathurst) and Karen (Hermione Norris) have a child, then have twins and they start to really struggle to stop themselves straying from the marital bed. James is really one of the best actors I have seen, however, in this they all come together to make the show throughly enjoyable from all angles. You are drawn into the highs and lows of the lives of ordinary people, from down to earth Adam to stuck up David. If you liked Friends, then I really think you will enjoy this, but have the tissues ready at the end. There are several extras on the DVDs such as on location, behind the scenes footage and Cold Feet backstage which are fab to watch. You can buy them all individually now, though when I bought them you couldn't, but to be honest, 5 in one box set is fantastic value, if only other series could follow in suit, then we would all be happy.
