So let’s get this straight…..That bag of shite labelled ‘Mrs Browns Boys’ gets chucked on our screens series after bloody series but gems like this don’t get recommissioned? 🤔

It's a joke. Hopefully the BBC will someday see sense and commission some more to be filmed. Genius

Read an interview with Craig Cash where said the Beeb wanted more but after how they treated him & Caroline regarding the response to ‘Mrs Merton and Malcolm’ he refused to do another.

Why this didn't get as much love as The Royle Family I'll never know. Excellent show, and this theatre verson was a romp. Loved the bits breaking the fourth wall.

Saw this at the Lowry Salford, absolutely superb. Possibly the best ever comedy on TV, brilliant characters.

Saw them in Leeds when this came out. Loved every minute of it!! To the regiment!! 🍻

Been trying to get hold of this for ages. Partner saw it at the Lowry. Only released as a limited edition to raise money for the Christie. Thanks for your kindness uploading. I’ve made a donation to the Christie 👍

One of my all time favourite comedy shows. Thanks for uploading.

There was definitely enough legs for a third series but l'm grateful for the two that Craig Cash and Phil Mealey gave us and for the fact that it didn't run past its sell-by date like so many other sitcoms. Classic and timeless British Comedy and is up there with the best of them such as Porridge. Brilliant writing full of subtle wit, great casting and characterisation.

Never knew they did a live show. Haven't seen Early Doors in 10 years or more. Just an out of nowhere thought about the 2 coppers while scrolling KZread and I thought it would be funny to reminisce and watch a few clips. Can't believe I found this. Brilliantly done, so funny and credit to them all.

It was a touring show in theatres but it ended with a one-off arena show at the Manchester Arena (which this was recorded at and I was lucky enough to be present at).

Had no clue about this myself. Popped up in my recommendations. Maybe because I was looking up old videos of Salford over Christmas 🤷🏼‍♂️ Anyway can’t wait to watch this over the weekend. I bloody loved this show. Shame about James McAvoy leaving so soon for another show. Bloody shameless he was bloody shameless 😂

I do have the two series on DVD and watched them around 12 months ago. This show just popped up on the recommendations today.

So wish they would bring the TV series back as was and still is one of the best comedies on the TV. Have been trying to watch this live show for years, so thanks for uploading

I'll stay on me own when I watch this Been looking for this for ages

Just watched the box set over Christmas, seen it 10 plus times, truely a superb and well written comedy, I use many lines from it regular, everytime I see a Frey Bentos in the shop, or tempory traffic lights and I am constantly saying Crime won't crack itself, have been for years, I would love to have had The Grapes as my local its just how a boozer should be.

The funniest line in the tv series was while the two coppers were chatting in the back room , listen for their radio chatter in the background ,foxtrot alpha romeo tango , absolutely priceless. Beautifully written.

I have wanted to see this for what seems like forever and now, thanks to your kindness, I have. Should have had a DVD release. ❤

Beautifully constructed script and some great characters. Laugh-out-loud stuff! Thanks!

Loved this show. Only did a small amount of episodes but every one of them was a belter. Packed with talent but nothing pretencious . First time I have ever heard of this live show. 4:14 am..looks like I am not going back to sleep.😂

Gut reaction seeing this pop up - surely it couldn’t possibly work as a live show… It does. Beautifully written. Skilfully and lovingly performed.

Fortunately it does work , though sometimes a bit slow for watching on KZread,but if you're in the audience of course it's a different thing altogether , absolutely love it .

I remember back in the early 2000's, every Sunday morning I would go to Salford market to see what the bootleg DVD "3 for a tenner" guys had for sale, got both series, went home put the kettle on, bacon butty and sat on the sofa and watched all of it in one go. Great times......

Thank for uploading this show. Early Doors is one show that will never grow old❤

Thank you so much for uploading this , that’s me thoroughly entertained for the next few hours 😊. Brilliant .

a special special show ❤, so good to finally see the live show, it didn't disappoint. Thanks for uploading.

Just simply brilliant from start to finish. Desperate for a 3rd series of this national treasure of a show. Winnie is the absolute MVP. Her and Jeans scenes are the absolute best.

Just watched it very good
