Two Doors Down (2016– )
10/10
Top notch comedy from BBC Scotland
5 March 2019
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!
