Product Description
Those who find they can't get enough of this exceptionally well-directed and absolutely delightful (albeit rather racy!) comedy-drama will, I am sure, enjoy this informative and humorous companion book. The book covers the pilot plus the first two series (the last episode of which is the millennium New Years). Subtitled the Best Bits, the book provides the reader with the scripts for a couple of choice scenes from each episode. Additionally, the writer, directors, producer, publicist, and actors all take part in introducing the scenes. Among the things one discovers are: how the show came about, how the characters were cast, what provided the inspiration for certain scenes, how the actors felt portraying certain scenes (i.e.. the rose up the bum scene!), and how certain effects were achieved. We are also told about the scenes in which stuntmen were used and in which writer Mike Bullen makes a cameo appearance. I should just mention, lest anyone be disappointed, that this is a book about the series and its creation. It does not, therefore, have biographies or much in the way of personal information about the actors.

Those who find they can't get enough of this exceptionally well-directed and absolutely delightful (albeit rather racy!) comedy-drama will, I am sure, enjoy this informative and humourous companion book.
The book covers the pilot plus the first two series (the last episode of which is the millenium New Year's). Subtitled "the Best Bits," the book provides the reader with the scripts for a couple of choice scenes from each episode, and I must admit I was surprised to find just how interesting (and indeed funny) most of the scripts were to read. Additionally, the writer, directors, producer, publicist, and actors all take part in introducing the scenes.
Among the things one discovers are: how the show came about, how the characters were cast, what provided the inspiration for certain scenes, how the actors felt portraying certain scenes (ie. the "rose up the bum" scene!), and how certain effects were achieved.

I should just mention, lest anyone be disappointed, that this is a book about the series and its creation. It does not, therefore, have biographies or much in the way of personal information about the actors.
Physically, the book is soft cover, but in every other way it is the quality one would expect in a hardcover. The print is large and clear, and the paper is of an excellent quality: thick with a matte finish. There is an abundance of photographs taken from the series, a few of which are full page and the vast majority of which are in colour. The cover itself is thick and glossy. There are 224 pages and the dimensions are 9 1/2" x 7 1/2".
All in all, this is a fine book and one that will probably be thumbed through frequently with the reruns. Highly recommended.

An Informative & Enjoyable Companion to the TV Series
16 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
Cold Feet may not be a typical British comedy; nevertheless, it is certainly one of the funniest. Those who find they can't get enough of this exceptionally well-directed, slightly off-beat, very modern (albeit rather racy!) comedy-drama will, I am sure, enjoy this informative and humourous companion book.
