COLD FEET MIGHT BE UNUSUAL IN SEPTEMBER, BUT OH WHAT A JOYOUS, GLORIOUS COMEBACK! ‘COLD FEET’ – Series 6, episode 1 review. 05/09/16.
TV show comebacks are not always guaranteed to be a roaring success. For example, no more Only Fools and Horses should have been made after Del and Rodney FINALLY became millionaires. The remake of Dallas was an unmitigated disaster and … Continue reading
