At long last, landlord Ken and regulars Joe and Duffy will be back on our screens from January 7 when the show's 12 episodes will be repeated

There are only 12 episodes. But from the moment it was first broadcast almost 20 years ago, Early Doors became a huge comedy hit that seemed to encapsulate Manchester humour, even though it is set in a pub in Stockport.

It has since been described as 'one of the best British sitcoms'. Since then, the show inspired a live show - which won M.E.N's CityLife Award for Best Theatre Production in 2019 - and saw the original cast reunite on stage. A special screening of the live show, held in aid of The Christie, also took place last year.John Henshaw Taking on the role of The Grapes landlord Ken Dixon, John Henshaw’s sarcastic character was seen as the glue to the show.

Maxine Peake Maxine Peake’s Janice only appeared in the first season of Early Doors. The single mother would often ask punters to look after her baby while she went to the aerobic class upstairs.

Cookson has also appeared in Clocking Off, Queer as Folk, Last Tango in Halifax and Land Girls. She can currently be seen as Wendy Posner in Emmerdale, a role she's had since 2019.
