Description
Two Doors Down is a Scottish television sitcom, produced by BBC Studios. It was created by Simon Carlyle and Gregor Sharp, and stars Arabella Weir, Alex Norton, Doon Mackichan, Jonathan Watson and Elaine C. Smith as neighbours in a suburban street in Scotland.
Following a one-off Hogmanay special broadcast nationwide on BBC One in late 2013, a full series was commissioned, and began airing on BBC Two in April 2016, with a second that November. A third series in 2018 (and a 2017 Christmas special) and a fourth in 2019 followed. A fifth series announced in mid-2020 was delayed until the following year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and broadcast in two halves in December 2021 and July/August 2022, with a sixth series shown that November and December, its Christmas special airing on BBC One. It was later confirmed the show would permanently move to BBC One from its seventh series, which filmed in summer 2023 for an autumn broadcast, with an eighth planned for 2024.
Two Doors Down won the Best Comedy award at the 2017 Royal Television Society Scotland Awards, with separate BAFTA Scotland wins for cast and crew over the course of its run. The death of the show's co-creator Simon Carlyle was announced on 9 August 2023.
