Two Doors Down, Series 5 Episode 1 review

The crude, cringe-worthy sitcom isn't offering viewers anything they haven't seen before.

Two Doors Down review

In lesser hands, by which I mean Mrs Brown's Boys's, a comedy half-hour centred on loose bowels and a homemade curry would become a banal chamber pot of poo jokes with whoopee cushion sound effects. Two Doors Down is a classier act.

Two Doors Down review

A droll send up of suburbia without the snobbery. Beth and Eric returned for a fifth series of the joyful sitcom and celebrated their son's two-year anniversary with a vegan curry - much to their neighbours' disgust.

Two Doors Down: actor Alex Norton talks about the new series

There will never be, probably, an episode of Two Doors Down in which mild-mannered Eric and Beth completely lose it. The long-suffering couple, whose home is constantly under siege from a succession of unbelievably irritating neighbours, are unlikely to snap, says star Alex Norton, even though the whole nation would be behind them if they did.

Doon Mackichan interview

For Two Doors Down star Doon Mackichan, a hobby she started when she was growing up in Fife became her lockdown saviour. Every day, no matter the weather, she has gone cold water swimming in the sea near her home in Hastings, describing it as "a mental health game-changer".

Two Doors Down review

Overall, it's a pretty slight special - at 30 minutes there's barely enough time to assemble the cast and have the usual banter before wrapping things up, and if possible it seems even less eventful than the usual low-key storylines - but it's a warm one that is sure to bring some comfort to those whose own Christmases have been anything but normal.

Two Doors Down review

This Scottish sitcom's Christmas special is one of the unsung gems of the festive season.
