The British drama COLD FEET enters its third series with more problems in store for its six leading characters. As Jenny (Fay Ripley) and Pete (John Thomson) face the music and decide to break up, Adam (James Nesbitt) and Rachel (Helen Baxendale) move in the opposite direction and talk about getting married. Meanwhile, David (Robert Bathurst) and Karen (Hermione Norris) face problems as David enters into a sordid affair shortly after Karen gives birth to twins. The show creates a successful formula by tempering the drama with moments of inspired comedy--the scenes between Nesbitt and Thomson`s characters are frequently played for laughs and provide a welcome respite from the relationship woes that dominate each episode. A hit on BBC America and in its native country, COLD FEET has often been compared to FRIENDS, although it delves far deeper into the motivations and actions of the characters and provides a grittier portrayal of life than the popular American sitcom. The third series of the show is included here in its entirety.
