Jimbo Ram Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Was going through some of my old DVD's and came across the 2 tv series of 'Early Doors'. A superb comedy drama that initially aired late in the evening on BBC 2 and then had a late slot on BBC 1. Not well known, but brilliantly written. Set in a pub up north it had a great cast and was co-written by Craig Cash who also starred in it. Very much character-based, you had to get to know them, it had the ability like Only Fools did to make you laugh out loud one minute and bring a lump to your throat the next. Well worth a look if you haven't seen it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Doors What are your hidden tv gems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a bit of a spin off from the Royle Family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 The Piers Morgan on... series. He did Piers Morgan on LA, Piers Morgan on Dubai, Piers Morgan on Monte Carlo etc, where he investigated the lifestyles of the rich and famous he so obviously wants to share. I was so enthused I honestly emailed ITV to suggest the next show might be 'Piers Morgan on Fire', but I heard nothing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 There was a comedy about 25 years ago called 'Joking Apart'. I found it totally hilarious, but cannot find it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
