Early Doors

The show centres on pub landlord Ken, especially his preoccupation with his daughter Melanie, and his nervous relationship with barmaid Tanya. Ken's wife left him for his best friend. The series reflects more than a little of the Northern humour displayed in The Royle Family. In a similar style to The Royle Family, every scene unfolds within the spatial context of The Grapes and it is also set in the Greater Manchester area. (imdb)
