Early Doors
Now on its second, critically acclaimed series (Mondays 10pm BBC2), Early Doors is set in The Grapes, a small pub in Manchester where daily life is bound up in the issues of love, loneliness, and blocked urinals.
Craig Cash and co-writer Phil Mealey appear as Joe and Duffy, pub lads who command centre table and most of the conversation, largely at the expenses of landlord Ken’s less acute regulars, such as Eddie, for whom a change in the town’s traffic flow can become a preoccupation.
… and that doesn’t begin to describe how funny this series - one of the very few TV programmes that I still bother to watch - can be. If you’ve ever spent any time in a pub, I guarantee that you will love this show.

This is one of my favourite comedy programmes. I have such a laugh, especially when the two coppers appear. Well written, sad and very funny. Please do another series.
