The end AND the beginning

I have just finished watching the final episode of Cold Feet. Suffice to say, and contrary to a certain teletext critic, it was perfect. The whole show has been a must from the pilot episode. When the series began, it was being hailed as the British "Friends" yet it became so much more in-depth and emotional. Never too many episodes were made therefore no feeling of being thinly spread out or watered down has ever been felt.

As the final episode finished, over on satellite, ITV2 started showing Cold Feet from Series 1 and it had a somewhat melancholy attribute to it since it's demise. I am looking forward to reliving all the moments again.

Let's hope that Jimmy Nesbitt becomes an even bigger star now the series is over - many of the other stars have had success elsewhere and I hope he has not already been typecast in the role.
