Wouldn't make the top 5 simply because it was only two series, and I find 2 hard work. First was pure magic, but not enough to make my top 5. It would be vying for a top 10 spot, though not sure at whose expense.

Well I'd boot out Royle Family. I always liked it, but never loved it. In fact I probably prefer Early Doors.

Hmmm, no for me (forgetting the last episode which I don't count as existing) it was brilliant throughout.

Early Doors was nearly as good. Very nearly.
