But The Scottish Sun exclusively revealed in March that the sitcom would be making a shock comeback to be screened over the festive period.

Now the BBC has confirmed the residents of Latimer Crescent will be back on screens in December.

The whole gang will congregate at Beth (Arabella Weir) and Eric’s (Alex Norton) house to celebrate Christmas 2025.

The neighbours are all back, including sweary Christine (Elaine C Smith), Cathy (Doon Mackichan) and Colin (Jonathan Watson).

Meanwhile, Alan (played by Grado aka Graeme Stevely) and Michelle (Joy McAvoy), plus Beth and Eric’s son Ian (Jamie Quinn) and his fiancé Gordon (Kieran Hodgson) complete the neighbourly group.

Gregor Sharp, who has written the new special, says: “It’s really exciting to be revisiting Latimer Crescent with all the regular cast for this new episode.

“Christmas is a time for getting together with friends and family and then becoming low level irritated by them so it feels like they’re the perfect group to celebrate the season with.”;

Two Doors Down started as a one-off special in 2013.

Created and written by Simon and Gregor, there have been seven series and three previous Christmas specials of the hugely popular show.

BBC Director of Comedy Jon Petrie added: “There’s something comforting about having the neighbours round for Christmas, even if they bring minor chaos.

“Gregor and the gang bring the warm laughs, sly digs and brilliantly petty moments that makeTwo Doors Downsuch a cracking comedy.

“Expect it to sparkle on BBC iPlayer and BBC One faster than Cathy can pop a prosecco.”;

And Josh Cole, Head of Comedy at BBC Studios Productions, and Steven Canny, Executive Producer, say: “We’re so pleased to be returning to Latimer Crescent and can’t wait for the audience to be back in Beth and Eric’s for another tortuous Christmas.

“Gregor and Simon created a brilliantly funny show that has an outstanding cast of memorable and lovable characters and we’re hugely looking forward to seeing them torment each other again.”;

Louise Thornton, BBC Scotland’s Head of Commissioning, meanwhile said: “I’m delighted to be working with our network comedy colleagues to bring Two Doors Down back to our screens for a festive special.

“It holds a very special place in the heart of our audiences and we’re looking forward to seeing what Christmas treats will be unwrapped with our friends at Latimer Crescent.”;
