I was 18 when early doors first aired. Absolutely loved it! Coming from an Irish family living in Manchester, I was around this culture a lot. Brilliant!
Loved this interview. The warmth of the two series is here too. I was lucky enough to catch this back in the day. Must've been up after 10 o'clock. I like the bit about you'd be worried if people didn't take the Mick! Definitely 😊 I rate people by whether I'd go for a pint with them. Wouldn't that be fab? Thanks fellas.
I believe that if you did a series 3 , you would get a whole new range of viewers. The BBC have definitely lost their way. No really funny comedy shows anymore. All stupid reality shows, which are a long way from the real world. Early doors is more like the real world , absolutely brilliantly written.
I adore early doors and have watched all episodes multiple times. It never fails!!! Some of the best comedy occurs in the exchanges between Jean and Winnie. 😂
It’s such a great start to the day. Phenomenal series, I’m on my second viewing on Iplayer. I’m originally from Old Trafford, didn’t drink much until I moved to the Northeast in 1968. I can easily relate to the pub and characters from my return visits to Manchester. Absolutely brilliant 👍👍👍
I was born in Hazel Grove, 1949. Went to Australia in 72. Watched this fantastic comedy in Sydney and my Australian born partner, she instantly loved it too. I recognised a lot of the roads with temporary 'traffics lights' and knew it was South Manchester. But in one episode, the outing to the races, they mentioned The Bamboo Club, which was a great club in The Grove we all went to after having a few in the Anchor, Woodman or Grove pubs. Wonder if that's the club they talked about in the Twin Cheeks episode? Of course the 'Boo' it wasn't a strip club, just a DJ and occasional groups but they possibly got the name from it. There was also The Grapes pub in the Grove, still there I believe, although the above pubs I mentioned have sadly gone. Great memories, great comedy.
Manchester, Glasgow and Liverpool have a very similar sense of humour. I've met many characters like this. It's all about the banter where everyone gets it and no one takes offence.
Glaswegian here and I always thought those cities were pretty much the same place but I always include Newcastle too. Maybe cos it's the only place in England a Glaswegian doesn't need to adjust the accent!
Never forgotten, even if you never do a series 3 Phil. You wrote about us and for us. Lines from the show have become part of my family's sayings. "Holding hands when you're not even on your holidays".
Unfortunately with the UKTV, they are basically a subsidiary of the BBC (basically owned under a different company to circumvent the no advertising rule that is implemented by the BBC to obtain the TV license funding) so probably wouldn't have much luck through there either. But somewhere like Netflix would be good, if they were to pick it up, as I don't think the BBC own the intellectual rights to early doors, only the rights to the series they made, so therefore in theory another TV company could make and release a third series if the BBC don't want to. The BBC, they have also been known to make a few series in conjunction with Netflix or have let Netflix take over production of certain shows, pretty much how channel 4 made the first few series of black mirror then as netflix acquired them they made the later series. Since early doors came out, I always said that if the BBC never did a new series, and if I ever won big on the lottery, then I would love to fund it. I wouldn't lose out even if it cost me a few million, because you are guaranteed to make your money back from it. But even if I didn't make my money back, I would be happy in the knowledge I helped to bring back something that should have been done years ago. I know I'll probably never win the lottery, but maybe crowdfunding would be the way to go with this, even if only enough was raised for a feature length 80 minute Xmas episode. I think that would be enough for the fans. I can guarantee the BBC would air it if it came today them already made and edited for airing. It would kickstart renewed interest in the show bringing it to new audiences, and it could even end up recommissioned. We can only hope.
Was supposed to be going to see the live show, near enough this date 5 years ago, but had just been diagnosed with arthritis and in agony so couldn't go. Annoying cos I'd paid for the ticket - a birthday present to me from me (birthdaty 1 October) - and it was a good seat. I was so disappointed.
This wasn’t a comedy, it was real life if you were ever in the north west, old dark wood, aluminium pressed out ashtrays, worn out Lino by the oche, how my early pubgoing was with all the characters recognised, like the seafood bloke Sally Army chuggers, and fella flogging Sergio Tachinni tracksuits and meat from in the same adidas bag….
One of THE greatest tv comedies in any country ever
One of the best comedies ever on TV. The characters are absolutely spot on and are hilarious. It's the only comedy I can watch over and over 😂😂😂
I am from London and absolutely loved the programme .Pickles
Absolute masterpiece, perfect script, perfect cast - perfectly capturing the warm, sarky, loving, and poignant soul of the North! God bless you all!!
I was 18 when early doors first aired. Absolutely loved it! Coming from an Irish family living in Manchester, I was around this culture a lot. Brilliant!
Great series. Glad it's getting some recognition. Phil and Nige were brilliant.
To the regiment!
I wish I was there
Just finished watching them all. Yes please to another one. Laughter and the odd tear. Brilliant.
Go on give 'em a third series ya shits!
Are you having one or are you staying on your own?
@@JacknVictor No. I'm only out cos I'd be miserable stuck at 'ome.

Early doors was absolutely brilliant. Phil and Craig cash done excellent with it. They should do another series please 🙏 please please 🙏

Possibly the truest 'sit-com' ever written... Beautiful and even heart-breaking... Genuine genius. xx SF
Wish they would it'd be mint
The BBC would demand the 'woke' get's shoe horned in. Bugger the BBC
I adore early doors and have watched all episodes multiple times. It never fails!!! Some of the best comedy occurs in the exchanges between Jean and Winnie. 😂
Great show... Another series please 🙏

How fab was this😢 bring it back
Please please please let us get what we want (😉) and make more Early Doors ! Fantastic comedy, makes you howl laughing and cry once or twice as well
Perfect sit-com... WAY UP THERE!!! (The two cops are genius... But then everyone in it is... Ken is a heart-breaking creation...) xx SF

The best one liner was Quiz night. What is the Capital of Chile, Eddy and Joan’s answer- Con Carne.
Class
A Christmas special would be brilliant
This has be come back for another only just seen it love it
Manchester, Glasgow and Liverpool have a very similar sense of humour. I've met many characters like this. It's all about the banter where everyone gets it and no one takes offence.
Very Irish too... xx SF
Glaswegian here and I always thought those cities were pretty much the same place but I always include Newcastle too. Maybe cos it's the only place in England a Glaswegian doesn't need to adjust the accent!
Dublin too......similar to humour in bars in Dublin City
Add Birmingham to the list. Fantastic comedy, one of the best 👌
@@ntleaver29 jeez, don't do one for Birmingham,we always sound thick as shit!
Heartwarming, beautiful, and fucking funny.
Great interview really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it
The collection had me in tears.
Never forgotten, even if you never do a series 3 Phil. You wrote about us and for us. Lines from the show have become part of my family's sayings. "Holding hands when you're not even on your holidays".
Fruit in the house when no one is sick.
Phil sounds lovely
Get the dvds,watch mine about 10times a year.
Must watch with the commentary, fascinating all the bits you've missed.
100 %
Cheers 🍻
Absolutely love it.....
Grapes - proper boozer and real characters..... 'I wish I was there'.
40 Grand!!
'This Charming Man' now on my playlist thanks to Duffy :)
Enjoy!
Tanya, pull me one! 😮😮😮
Love this kind of humour
best show ever
A group for this programme on Facebook. Excellent.
I wish I was there 😂😂
what we talking about joan?..circuses eddy!
The live show is on UA-cam, Well worth watching. Some of the actors are new but doesn't detract from the original. Very funny.
One of the best ever script cast marvel
lous
Crime won’t crack itself!
You're right Tony those pubs have gone. Phil and Craig have a job on especially with new characters. But I'll be watching
Top dollar
I wanted the interviewer to ask if the BBC were cold on it, why they couldn't have offered it (3rd series) to another channel?
I had absolutely no knowledge of it.
😂
sod the BBC, bring it to UKTV, A Christmas special would be class

Rodney Litchfield was great as Tommy
He sure was! He was greatly missed in the live show!
Foxtrot Alpha Romeo Tango 😂
Susan, if you are reading this, it's over
That was something to do with Peter Kay I think
Very poignant remark that Phil makes, about the difference between what people want to watch, and what the BBC think you should watch!
Cant u go to another channel to make early doors brilliant programme to make another series or xmas special
I miss the old fashion pubs hate the modern pub full of crap food
Crime can’t crack it’s self
why not on uk netflix
Was supposed to be going to see the live show, near enough this date 5 years ago, but had just been diagnosed with arthritis and in agony so couldn't go. Annoying cos I'd paid for the ticket - a birthday present to me from me (birthdaty 1 October) - and it was a good seat. I was so disappointed.
its uploaded on UA-cam, tbh its not very good. Though I imagine it would have seemed better seeing it live
77 and never been to the seaside - one of the first lines said, so bitter sweet, poignant script writing.
Keep ya hands on ya hapeney
I love this show and would love to see a third series. So called "funny", woke series just do not do it for me.
This wasn’t a comedy, it was real life if you were ever in the north west, old dark wood, aluminium pressed out ashtrays, worn out Lino by the oche, how my early pubgoing was with all the characters recognised, like the seafood bloke Sally Army chuggers, and fella flogging Sergio Tachinni tracksuits and meat from in the same adidas bag….
Not surprised the bbc didn't get the humour, full of middle class woke planks
Do you like circuses?
Who likes circuses then.
