Early Doors review

Full of geniality and honest humour, the stage incarnation is a real crowd-pleaser, guaranteed - with the aid of an unexpected musical finale - to send the audience home with an inner glow equivalent to a couple of large brandies. Doubles all round!

British Comedy Guide, 20th November 2017

The cab office-based sitcom returns for its second series. The employees of Irwell Cars are engaged in a ferocious turf war with their principal rivals, Pat the Butchers Cars. The conflict involves making fake calls, flattening tyres and other dastardly antics. Today, Lind (Lesley Sharp), the radio operator, tries to charm the unsavoury and all-powerful licensing officer, while Dave's (]Phil Rowson) marriage plans are complicated by an encounter with a former lover. The series features guest appearances from Mark E. Smith, Suranne Jones and James Quinn.
