Very good thread here. How do we get our stories through now?

Sorry for mithering with another article about Early Doors, but there seem to be quite a lot of them.
Thanks to the person from ‘British Comedy Classics’ that wrote this (sorry, no name). Anyway, I like this one, it’s worth a read, whether you’re an Early Doors fan or not…
