Just caught a repeat of Early Doors on some high channel number on Sky.
The one with the pub quiz.
Brilliant comedy writing, characterisation and also touching.
And, yet, many people haven't heard of it!
Also by the same team, Broken Biscuits was on BBC Comedy Playhouse very recently - also worth a watch is on iPlayer.

Early Doors was absolutely brilliant. Like all the best things, it only had a short life. I'm not ashamed to admit that even as a 23 year old bloke, I shed a little tear when Ken gave Eddie the money to pay for the phone bill. Showed that Tommy was the most generous of all when it really mattered.
Oh, and by the way, what was the name of the dog that found the world cup?  |

Early Doors one of the best comedy shows ever written.
Wonderful characters acted out brilliantly. A perfect mix of comedy and pathos. |

when the two cops were asked if any crime of significance had taken place that day one replied "yes". Margaret Hodges (name made up) was walking down the high street when a car pulled up alongside her. The Cop went on to say that the driver wound down his window and pointed to a place on the map he had on his lap asking if she knew where it was. "Yes" said Margaret and as she bent through the window the driver pulled away the map and exposed himself to the shocked lady. One of the Police said he had to carry out the statement of the distressed shopper. Towards the end of the statement one of the police said to Margaret I'm sorry to have to ask you this question but its very important. "Was" he asked "in a state of arousal ???". No replied Margaret quickly " I think it was a Ford Escort!!!"
Just thought it was one of the funnier lines in a great comedy! |

I've seen Early Doors umpteen times and will watch it umpteen more but I'm afraid 10 minutes of Broken Biscuits was enough to have me reaching for the remote.

I love the rhythm of the jokes. e.g.
First line, person A Second line person B Third line person A Fourth line person B Fifth line KAPOW - punchline person A. Broken Biscuits is worth it for the twists at the end. |
