"The tradition in Scotland was that men were funny, but Dorothy Paul showed you don't have to go out there with gag after gag," she explained. "There's someone with great tales and stories, and that's the type of comedy I think women prefer."

Sarah Hughes, i Newspaper, 29th January 2018Two Doors Down is fun with a strong cast

It returned for a third series last night with an episode about another Scottish institution, Burns Night, complete with haggis, tatties and malt whisky, and proceeded to lacerate it for the next half hour.
Chris Harvey, The Telegraph, 29th January 2018Two Doors Down to return with cast changes
Ahead of a third series in 2018, BBC sitcom Two Doors Down is to return for a Christmas special. Sharon Rooney and Harki Bhambra are leaving the show, but Kieran Hodgson joins the cast.
British Comedy Guide, 19th October 2017BBC Two's Two Doors Down has it all. Wit, delight, long awkward silences, burps, bacon-farts. Writers Gregor Sharp and Simon Carlyle have encapsulated a satellite Scottish suburb with joy and finesse: it's crude but it's loving. Most characters are normal. Two are accidental monsters. Cathy (Doon Mackichan) and Christine (Elaine C Smith) dominate every social interaction with that sublime lack of tact that just makes you want to cheer and then put a drunken gun to your head and pull the trigger. Lovely to see Maurice Roëves back.
