Written by and starring Craig Cash and Phil Mealey, Early Doors is famously set in a mythical Stockport pub, The Grapes. The actors who feature in the TV series and live show have come together to promote this film for a local charity that is close to their hearts. “Most of us will have come across The Christie whether that be through a family member, friend or colleague being treated,” said Phil Mealey, “and we all know what an amazing place it is and what incredible work it does. It was an easy decision for us to support The Christie and we really hope this film is a huge success.”
