Early Doors (2003–2004)
10/10
Best sitcom ever shown
22 July 2022
Two series were produced of ' Early Doors ' and each episode is a gem of dialogue and wit.

Set in a back street pub of the type that have been replaced by faceless convenience shops or even worse flats.

Ken is the landlord of a failing brewery public house with a cross section of locals chattering away about life and the mundane lives they all lead.

Every scene throughout this series was memorable and each episode generally had a pay off which was always wonderfully set up.

Very hard to pick a favourite scene but if I have to pick one it's the one when they all go to the races and as they leave the camera leaves the pub in daylight for a slow camera to pan around the empty silent pub as night starts to fall in just a few moments.

They then all return to the pub after the day out, beautiful scene and in a strange sort of way very moving.

They don't get any better than this .
