Two Doors Down

Great writing makes the tensions between this closely knit group into great watching. Eric and Beth remain the rocks on to which all the other characters crash with all their different foibles. Amazing to see the tensions between Cathy and Michelle, Ian and Gordon, Christine with everyone, swirling around in madness. Bodes well for this fourth series building on the success of the previous series.

I've had a rubbish sort of day and was feeling very fed up, so decided to put last night's episode of Two Doors Down on. Within 5 minutes I was chuckling away at the outrageous and hilarious comedy this brings to the screen.

My favourite is Elaine C Smith as Christine. She is SO funny!

I really enjoy this show. It was in series 3 before I discovered it, but I am pleased to see that the earlier series are on the BBC iPlayer for now. I just checked out the pilot episode (from 2013) and enjoyed it hugely too. The writing is brilliant and the casting spot on. Some wonderful performances too, with lots of subtle detail in the body language and such things as just the little glances. Yes, many of the characters are "nightmare neighbours", but this is the fun of it. It may be too "Scottish" or "Glasgow" for some, but I think that the setting is an important part of its humour and charm. I look forward to going back to the earlier series - and hopefully to more to come in the future.

Absolutely brilliant comedy show! Laugh from start to finish - Elaine C Smith is hilarious, actually everyone is! Pointer - do not judge the show on the pilot episode just skip to series 1 :)

The best Scottish comedy since Rab C.... Every bit as good as The Royals.
