Two Doors Down Returns with Christmas Special

The award-winning Scottish sitcom Two Doors Down is set to make a festive return, with a brand-new Christmas special scheduled to be aired, marking two years since the last series was broadcast.

The holiday gathering will be hosted at Beth (Arabella Weir) and Eric’s (Alex Norton) home on Latimer Crescent, where the beloved residents will once again come together to celebrate Christmas.

Fan-favourite characters will be featured in the special, including Christine (Elaine C Smith), Cathy (Doon Mackichan), Colin (Jonathan Watson), Alan (Graeme Stevely), Michelle (Joy McAvoy), and Beth and Eric’s son Ian (Jamie Quinn) alongside his fiancé Gordon (Kieran Hodgson).

Gregor Sharp, who has written the new Christmas special, says: “It’s really exciting to be revisiting Latimer Crescent with all the regular cast for this new episode. Christmas is a time for getting together with friends and family and then becoming low level irritated by them so it feels like they’re the perfect group to celebrate the season with.”

BBC Director of Comedy Jon Petrie adds: “There’s something comforting about having the neighbours round for Christmas, even if they bring minor chaos. Gregor and the gang bring the warm laughs, sly digs and brilliantly petty moments that make Two Doors Down such a cracking comedy. Expect it to sparkle on BBC iPlayer and BBC One faster than Cathy can pop a prosecco.”

Josh Cole, Head of Comedy, BBC Studios Productions, and Steven Canny, Executive Producer, say: “We’re so pleased to be returning to Latimer Crescent and can’t wait for the audience to be back in Beth and Eric’s for another tortuous Christmas. Gregor and Simon created a brilliantly funny show that has an outstanding cast of memorable and loveable characters and we’re hugely looking forward to seeing them torment each other again.”

Louise Thornton, BBC Scotland’s Head of Commissioning says: “I’m delighted to be working with our network comedy colleagues to bring Two Doors Down back to our screens for a festive special. It holds a very special place in the heart of our audiences and we’re looking forward to seeing what Christmas treats will be unwrapped with our friends at Latimer Crescent.”

As Two Doors Down returns for another festive installment, fans will be eager to see how the Latimer Crescent crew navigates the chaos, charm, and comedy of Christmas once again. Following the success of last year’s Christmas special, which delivered laughs, awkward moments, and plenty of mince pies, the upcoming episode promises more of the same beloved humour that has made the show a seasonal favourite. With familiar faces back around Beth and Eric’s table, viewers can expect a heartwarming and hilariously relatable celebration to round off the year.
