I binged through both series of Early Doors on iPlayer over the last week. Good stuff. 

Scene I liked is when that thick couple have entered the Pub Quiz and decide to drink half pints to keep their heads clear. The barman suggests that they each order two at once, and if he puts them both in the same glass it'll save them having to come back to the bar. Which they think is a good idea...

Nah, Eddie suggests they get a half pint each so they can stay focussed. Joan thinks it's a great idea and asks him to get them two half pints each. Eddie goes to order thinking it's a great idea and Ken, looking bewildered, says "I'll tell you what Eddie, I'll put them in pint pots for you" :lol:

 

(Sorry for the pedantry, I'm rather sad when it comes to tv shows I love given I binge them regularly).

But Eddie, you don't even smoke.

Yeh, but I'm still outraged.

Never apologise for pedantry. It's another word for 'being right'.

This isn't the best quality of video, but this scene stood out as particularly funny:

 

Just completed both series on the iplayer.  Early Doors is an absolute gem of a comedy.  I loved it first time round but for some reason found it even better a good 15 years later.

There are only about ten characters and all are brilliant.  My favourites are the two coppers who whilst being incredibly bent (dodgy £10 notes etc) are hillarious.

I have this up with Peep Show as my favourite of all time.

Incidentally, the above clip is wonderful

Binged it numerous times now as I said above. Yet I'm still finding wee bits that I've missed as I tend to focus on background characters/reactions once I know what the main character is saying off by heart. Watched one the other night and heard a quiet belter from Tommy I had never heard before - the pub breaks into song again and Tommy is slightly in the background looking raging and I caught "Bloody hell, singing again!". Absolutely brilliant wee bit. It's such a gem of a show.

First episode of the second series they are talking about Melanies boyfriend in the first series - Liam played by James McAvoy.  They are slagging him off for dumping her with out warning......."Shameless !!"...an obvious reference to McAvoy pissing off to appear in Shameless and doing so without much notice.

I mentioned earlier I initially watched it about 15 years ago....wow it was on in 2003 and 2004....first episode a couple months shy of twenty years ago.  It is odd seeing virtually all characters smoke in a pub right enough.

My favourites are the two workshy cops in the back shop getting pished and on the loud hailer. Crime doesn't solve itself😂

The prices are more scary! Think it was £1.54 for a pint of bitter in the first episode. £4.20 for a bitter and a Guinness. Mental.
