Scottish sitcom Two Doors Down will return for an eighth series, it was announced at the BBC comedy festival in Liverpool today

The new episodes will pick up where the 2025 Christmas special left us. Beth (Arabella Weir) and Eric (Alex Norton) are still clinging to the hope of a quiet life, but their best efforts are no match for the relentless chaos supplied by neighbours Colin (Jonathan Watson), Cathy (Doon Mackichan) and Christine (Elaine C Smith). 

Meanwhile, Michelle (Joy McAvoy) is preparing for the new arrival, while Gordon (Kieran Hodgson) throws himself into further education. Alan (Graeme Stevely) and Ian (Jamie Quinn) return too, doing their level best to support their partners — with mixed results.

Writer and co-creator Gregor Sharp said: ‘It was a lot of fun putting the band back together for the Christmas episode last year, so I’m really excited to be coming back with some new tunes, which we hope will turn out just as special. The cast are the most talented group of performers you could wish for, and I can’t wait to get started.’

Jon Petrie,  the BBC’s director of comedy, added: ‘Eight series in, and the team are still making a world that audiences properly love spending time in. That’s no mean feat, and it’s a huge credit to the talent, care and commitment behind the show. We’re really proud to bring it back for another series.’

The show is made by the BBC’s commercial arm, BBC Studios.
