Cold Feet - Season 9 (2020 Mike Bullen)

Cold Feet's getting a bit predictable and like the last series, some of its conflicts don't seem credible. In episode three, a mountain hike ends up as predictably as you think it will, with Robert Bathurst and Jimmy Nesbitt making up whilst stranded in the dark. But - still visually nimble (he's a great one for the flashback is Mike - and the fantasy scene), and entertaining.

Stand-out moment occurs in episode two, where Fay Ripley is revealing to a counselling group that since she's been cleared from cancer she actually doesn't feel any better - the sympathetic group cuts to Fay's family, listening, and the scene ends up with her at home having just revealed all this to them. She's stealing the acting honours for me this time.

Fun stuff with ex-robber Tim Dantay who Bathurst brings in to work with in the bank.

With Hermione Norris, John Thomson, Ceallach Spellman (Matt), Gerald Kyd (bank), Lucy Robinson (lawyer), Sunetra Sarker, Sylvie Briggs and Daisy Edgar-Jones, Madeleine Edmondson and Jack Harper, Claire Keelan (The Trip), Gemma Jones, Marji Campi (Brookside), Sally Rogers.

Mike did not write them all. The most entertaining season finale is all his, though.
