What's the show about?
The Latimer Crescent residents are back for more domestic disasters in the new series of Two Doors Down.
Set in a Glasgow suburb, the sitcom explores the best (and worst) of family life.
In the first episode, a very tanned Cathy and Colin have returned from a luxury cruise and seem strangely keen to persuade neighbours Eric and Beth to join them on their next trip. There’s confusion - until it becomes clear they have the ulterior motive of a cheap deal in their sights.
With Eric and Beth politely declining, the determined couple have another target in mind. Christine, fresh from a PPI refund windfall, wants to crow about her good fortune and Beth is railroaded into holding a celebratory barbecue - the perfect moment for the holiday bargain hunters to pounce.
It’s not long before moods turn foul though, along with the weather, and Colin and Cathy take the hump when their plan is rumbled, storming off and taking their barbecue with them.
Cathy has the last laugh when a mishap leaves Christine as charred as the sausages on the grill. Ian and Jaz meanwhile, have decided to buy a flat together.
Writer Simon Carlyle, who also wrote Boy Meets Girl, said: “Two Doors Down is about crazy neighbours. We've all got them. They seem okay, they seem to have everything together but when you scratch the surface, they're all a bit nuts.
“Essentially it's about being stuck with these neighbours; it's about living in a suburban street where you want a bit of privacy but you rarely get it and end up spending time with people you'd probably rather not want to be with.”
Speaking ahead of season 2, he added: "We tried to create a rolling sense of calamity. Two Doors Down has a mix of chat and also more traditional jokes and some physical comedy too.
"This series sees Elaine C Smith join our cast. She’s one of the comedy legends I grew up with and having her on set was a treat.
"She talks nearly as much as me so it's a great distraction for me having her there.
"She also knows ‘funny’, so we could ask her and Doon about how to structure the gags best."
