Cold Feet

Well, Fay Ripley was brought up in the Home Counties and doesn't sound Mancunian to me! I think the actress who plays Tina is actually from Liverpool.

I like Adam's potential girlfriend!!

I thought Fay Ripley's accent was fine, and Manchester City Council must think it's OK too:
And her proudest moment? Being asked by Manchester city council to be the voice of their car park machine.


However, I will say my dear friend from Manchester tends to say 'hospikal' and 'likkle' and I haven't heard anyone pronounce them like that on the show!

Well, the series is set in Manchester...although Pete seems to be the only one with a bit of a northern accent - Jenny's is really strange!

I am really enjoying the new series. Very difficult to "age" the characters and still keep cohesion, Only one down to it - cannot stand Adam's latest love. Very good to look at but those dropped aitches and glottal stops!! Total put off.

I hadn't even thought about Jimmy's accent.
My mum moved to the SE from Bristol when she was 11. She still had a West country accent when she died at 86.

at BBC2 for cancelling University Challenge and Only Connect in favour of Springwatch

It was Autumnwatch Daphne
but it could have been a repeat because I am sure I have seen the Sika deer footage before

I enjoyed Cold Feet, I didn't think any of it was over-done (yet) but perhaps they should leave it there because it could become OTT.
The birthday party made me laugh; I have a friend whose husband arranged a really special trip abroad to somewhere she longed to re-visit for a 'landmark birthday' treat. The trouble was that she was a year younger too!!

I puzzled over Jimmy Nesbitt's accent too in a previous episode when he said he and Pete were at school together. Although I do know people who have moved when youngish and never lose their original accents.

I agree Ana, this series was good, but I don't think they could keep going without it becoming silly, which is what usually happens.

I loved this series, but am not so sure about another one. I think it might lose its magic.

I'll have to get it on catch up. We promised GS we would put a film on instead, so ended up watching Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief, the by the time I had finished reading him a bit of Harry Potter it was half past nine! I didn't know they were making another series. Good news!

I am going to miss it also.

I can't believe I missed it! I was so at BBC2 for cancelling University Challenge and Only Connect in favour of Springwatch I switched the damn thing off and read a book instead! ???

Yes a very good series. Glad they're doing another one.

Last in the series last night I will miss it.
The scenes in the shop (no spoilers) were unnecessary but the rest was of the episode was as good as ever, right to the end. Great cast, great writing.

Ana, Burtons accent came through in every film, Hopkins is good at changing his accent I agree and Martin Sheen manages too

Anthony Hopkins likewise.

Sometimes he toned down his accent a lot, though. In fact, I'm sure he played parts where he spoke with a thoroughly English accent.

Richard Burton managed Ana

Has anyone ever heard James Nesbitt do any other accent? I thought actors had to be versatile.

Perhaps Adam came to Engkand in his early teens so they met then

But Pete is definitely brought up in Manchester with that accent and went to school with his first wife....suppose it doesn't matter really.

Don't know but Pete's Mum is Irish too does that help?

Portmerion is where they scattered her ashes. Can anyone explain How Adam went to school with Pete when he grew up in Manchester?

Loved the first five series and have them on DVD. Can't wait for the new series to begin and I'm glad they're not going to resurrect Rachel, that would have been silly. Besides, she was the only character I couldn't take to so glad she's not going to be in it.

Nooo Ana, she doesn't live in Portmerion, she was left there, well and in a pub and on the living room carpet and on the back seat of a car
