Two Doors Down

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 :)

I absolutely adore Two Doors Down. I think some of the previous reviews have been harsh, with comments such as 'every episode is the same'. I couldn't disagree more. Each episode is centred around the main characters with a different story each week. It is a light hearted hilarious comedy.

It's definitely a programme that is easy to sit and watch.

I hope to see a fifth series soon!

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.

As a huge comedy fan, Two Doors Down takes its rightful place among the best shows on TV at the moment. The premise is simple but perfect, the glorious cast of characters well researched and all of them have their faults but also things we love about them.

I am not Scottish, but I appreciate the humour having loved Still Game since its inception, Naked Video, High Life etc and this really is good.

It may appear to be easy to watch, but it can be so painful times and I often scream at the TV for Eric and Beth to "get a backbone", but then I realise they are like me and my husband, always wanting to help, but end up being taken advantage of.

Christine, what a character! Elaine C Smith gets all the very best lines, she shines whenever she comes on the screen. Doone is superb, I know women like this, who think they are the "gays" best friend and that they all love her but she is just a sad old drunk with a husband who has a huge inferiority complex. As for Ian and Gordon, they are slightly removed from all the insane goings on, but get drawn in every time.

OK, you may guess that I love this show, and it definitely deserves a lot more than 1 star. Keep going with it, make the characters worse and worse without losing those hints of redemption and vulnerability.

Roll on series 5!

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.
