This series was like a love letter to the North. No matter what, a laugh is never far away.

One of the classics, but hugely underrated, the cast, the setting, all perfect, watched it over and over again, thanks for the memories

Criminally underrated comedy! Craig Cash is a comedy genius

Quiz night. Picture round. "Now alot of people thought it was Les Dawson, in fact it was Anne Widdecombe" Spilt my brew laughing 🧡

The greatest tv comedy the bbc ever produced. Pubs like this are hard to come by now. Craig Cash - genius

Remember watching this when it first came out and just recently re-watched on iPlayer. What a little gem of a series this was, highly underrated in my opinion. I lived in a pub in the early 00's and can confirm that this is so true to life, especially being Northern.

Shame on the BBC for not commissioning a third series of this fine underrated comedy.

I read an interview with Craig Cash and he said the BBC did ask for a 3rd Series but he turned them down as he felt the BBC didn't push it enough. Its an absolutely brilliant series and I hope to see the live show if it comes back.

Doesn’t even get on the IPlayer but I think that’s mainly because of the references to Jimmy Saville.

Full of amazing characters and great one liners. Massively underrated!!

My favourite show ever

How any of the cast managed to deliver enough lines without laughing to get anything recorded is a miracle.

Quiz answers…”A lot of you thought it was Les Dawson… it was in fact Anne Widdecombe” too funny haha

Just binge watched all 12 episodes. it was like being back in time to the early 2000s, my local pub was pretty much exactly the same! magnificent stuff, thank you for posting! 🍻 I wish I was there

This is pure class. Absolute quality characters and writing! Hilarious.

So, so funny. Glad BBC are showing it again for others to enjoy.

I ran a pub for twenty years and I have to say I recognised all those characters from my own place. pure genius observation writing and underrated comedy of a time already passing. a few pubs left but not for much longer ( just wish we had video phones like today id love to watch those times back again good times)

Loved watching Early Doors, so well written and excellent cast.

A gem of a sit com. Recently watched again on on iplayer forgot how brilliant it was.

This has to be the greatest comedy ever. It's a little gem that's been tucked away for to long. This needs to be seen by everyone. Fantastic brilliant a one off bit of genius

Totally agree with with you,at least we got 2 series to watch,can’t make entertainment like this now,not pc enough,not woke,enough,a snapshot of brilliant comedy writing,Craig cash and Phil mealey ,a uniquely British duo.

Great , underrated series.

i ALWAYS order an "eggy fried rice" since seeing this !!! these actors took these rich characters and made the people real every pub has an Eddy and Tommy i ahve lost count the number of times the pub eddy has tried to explain a road works or diversion while im having a piss !!!

Absolutely loved this first time around ,got it on dvd , when to see it on the Lowery few years back was brilliant,all the best comedy shows weren't on long enough

The first blooper 'tortoise' is the funniest. Watch Marks face - instant crack up.

This is a classic... what a stellar cast

TV comedy at its best

It was actually shown again this January 2023 on BBC 4 Classic.

At the same time this was the funniest and most poignant series ever on TV. Sheer brilliance.

Loved this when it was on the box. ♥️

Best sitcom ever....

I had a pub in Prescot,that area that no one really wants to acknowledge,stuck in between Liverpool,Warrington and St.Helens,a cultural wilderness.Anyway Early Doors could have been recorded directly in there.We had an elderly customer who had a black labrador called Sobers,it had been called something totally inappropriate previously but other customers had warned that it was no longer PC.

Best comedy series ever.

Love this series, far better than anything else at the time, and the pc shite that’s about now, this is how it was when I started drinking, absolutely amazing, like you had another family, now all these pubs are Tesco expresses, so if you have a good local pub “ look after it, you’ll miss it when it’s gone

First series on the BBC iPlayer ATM.

It is super splendid that James McAvoy and Joy McAvoy both got to act in similar productions. They both got to act in a situation comedy with Doors in the title, since James was in Early Doors and Joy was in Two Doors Down, and before James played 9 different personalities in Split and 20 different personalities in Glass (I counted both cast lists, there was not enough time for all 24), Joy played a similar psychologically damaged main character in Sessions of the Mind. This makes me, an American viewer, want to see where they have been before X-Men: First Class, The Angels' Share, Filth and Avengers Endgame, because I want to learn the names, looks and voices of other British, Irish or Scottish actors who have acted in the same films and shows with them.

I think McAvoy went from Early Doors to Shameless, another Manchester-set comedy. Having recently re-watched Early Doors I think Craig Cash gives a nod to McAvoy in ep1 s2 of Early Doors when slagging off his character when he describes him dumping Melanie as 'Shameless' 🙂
