Early Doors
Early Doors is a BBC sitcom written by Craig Cash and Phil Mealey. The setting is The Grapes, a small pub in Manchester where daily life revolves around the issues of love, loneliness and blocked urinals.
The action centres on pub Landlord Ken (John Henshaw), especially his preoccupation with his daughter Melanie (Christine Bottomley), who is preparing to meet her real dad, and his nervous relationship with barmaid Tanya (Susan Cookson). Ken's wife left him for his best friend.
The series reflects more than a little of the northern humour displayed The Royle Family (co-written by Cash). In a similar style to The Royle Family every scene unfolds within the spatial context of The Grapes.
The theme music for the series is "Small World" by Roddy Frame from the 2002 album Surf.
The 2006 Channel 4 documentary Who Killed the British Sitcom used the closing music from Early Doors over its own end credits, suggesting it proves there is still hope for the genre.
