Early doors is a brilliant comedy series that is laugh out loud funny right until the end. It is based in a pub in Manchester, so if you don't come from around there some of the jokes might be a bit foreign to you. Nonetheless it is an intelligent and talented comedy.
P.S. when you watch this you'll get what I meant by the title. Even more reason to buy it.

This is sensational comedy, All the characters are fantastic in their own way, I was mis-fortunate to miss this series when on BBC2 so invested in the boxset and its worth every penny. Absolutely Superb...

I've never understood why this comedy never got the credit it deserved. Craig Cash (Dave from 'The Royle Family') created a brilliant piece of humour. It's the same formula as the Royle Family, situated in one building - this time its a Northern pub based in Stockport called The Grapes. Join landlord Ken, daughter Melanie, coppers Phil and Nige, and regulars, Joe, Duffy, Tommy, Joan and Eddie for Happy half hour an episode. It's subtle humour and you can only warm to the characters. Although I still prefer The Royle Family, due to more characters involved, there's a bit more material to play around with in Early Doors. Look out for the last episode of series one, my favourite, when the boys go on a jolly up to the races. The morning breakfast in the pub is a classic comedy moment - boys being boys and the craic is fierce! Worth investing in this boxset - I doubt a third series will be made.
