Comfort Classic: Two Doors Down
With the sudden death at just 48 of Simon Carlyle in August 2023, the curtain came down on a hitherto unsung sitcom that was finally getting the attention it deserved.
A decade earlier, Two Doors Down – created by Carlyle and writing partner Gregor Sharp – received its first outing as a one-off Hogmanay special. It was a slow-burn success before becoming a Scottish institution (winning RTS and Bafta Scotland awards along the way) and finally earning a deserved promotion from BBC Two to One for its 2022 Christmas special and seventh and final series the following autumn.
