Britain's favourite 30-somethings are reunited for the fifth and final series of Cold Feet. The new series opens with the aftermath of series four's tear-jerking climax in Australia. Rachel gave birth to a healthy baby boy after months of turmoil for her and Adam, Pete and Jo tied the knot after convincing everyone—including themselves—that they were meant for each other and David was left reeling after Karen was forced to confess her affair. We pick up six months later on their return from Sydney. Adam feels neglected by Rachel who has become an obsessive, over-protective mother to new baby Matthew (who gets an education from Adam on The Undertones). Pete's vacuum-loving mum Audrey (Doreen Keogh) has been thrown out of her sheltered accommodation, so she moves in with the newly weds and then goes off with Jo to buy some cannabis to ease her arthritis.
