Early Doors. Anything similar?

Very late to the game but just watched both series. Absolutely loved it!
Anything you'd recommend that's similar humour, gentle and subtle. Preferably British but open to suggestions.

Recently also just watched early doors and the royle family.the visit is a bbc3 series with the landlord from early doors which I also enjoyed. Have now started on good night sweet heart boxset but its from the 90s do maybe not what your looking for.

Do you know where I can find The Visit? Absolutely loved it but can't find it.

FiFiWrites · 11/03/2023 19:02

Still Game is good

KnottyKnitting · 11/03/2023 19:08

Another recommendation for Still Game. Also have a look at The Detectorists and also Black Books,

DS loves this too.
He loves this genre of comedy programme, he also loves The Royle family, This Country and Two doors down.

Detectorists

GuyFawkesDay · 11/03/2023 19:09

Two Doors Down

Not a sitcom but Mortimer and Whitehouse gone fishing

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 11/03/2023 19:10

Royale Family?
Dinnerladies?
Two Doors Down is a lovely cosy comedy too

BitOutOfPractice · 11/03/2023 19:12

The Detectorists.

I love Early Doors. Just rewatching it again! To the Regiment!

Tank commander is a must to watch

Wish I was there. 😁😁👍👍

I also loved Early Doors.
Try 'Mum' on iplayer, it's just lovely. Balance of humour, sweetness and sadness, brilliant characters and acting.

Violetparis · 11/03/2023 19:30

Another recommendation for Mum and the Detectorists. Him and Her is great too, all on iplayer.

Belindabelle · 11/03/2023 19:38

I have just started Early Doors. No idea how I missed it. You can certainly see Craig Cash influence with The Royale Family.

butmumineedit · 11/03/2023 19:39

Sorry it's called Gary-Tank Commander, the humour is similar to Two Doors down

Trollied -the one about the supermarket -has many of the same actors as early doors

drwitch · 11/03/2023 19:45

Also the Peter kay car share one

lingmerth · 12/03/2023 00:34

Thank you, some good suggestions here. Think I'll start with Still Game.

Two doors down

Toby Jones Don't forget the driver.
Yes to The detectorists
The Smoking room on Britbox.

lucysnowe2 · 12/03/2023 09:35

This Country is hilarious. Also Stath Lets Flats which is a total classic!

GuyFawkesDay · 12/03/2023 18:51

I love what we do in the shadows but I am aware if a very different type of programme!

Ghosts is gorgeous and fits
