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 wouldn't normally take time to review but find myself having to come to the defence of Two Doors Down and the brilliant writing of Simon Carlyle and Gregor Sharp. I can only assume that the reviewer filmcomedybuff is neither a. From Scotland or b. A TV comedy Buff as the review of 1 star is simply not merited.

Love this series and the characters, it's becoming 'Abigail's Party (with Kilts)'. Its a slow burner and has crept up on me and many of my friends over the 3 series where we all now regularly pitch up the morning after an episode to have a laugh about what was just aired. The characters have built slowly but a special mention to the performances by Doon Mackichan as Cathy (Modern day Abigail) and Elaine C Smith as Christine. To be fair I can take or leave other characters Elaine has played but the role of Christine was made for her.

Also 'utterly dismal' as a review doesn't say much for the panel that voted it Best Comedy at the 2017 Royal Television Society Scotland Awards.

Brilliant stuff but perhaps for people who appreciate good 'Scottish' comedy.

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.

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

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 :)
