British Comedy Guide, 7th March 2018Gregor Sharp interview

Brian Beacom, The Herald, 4th February 2018Two Doors Down: Doon Mackichan steals the show
Doon Mackichan steals the show in this Burns Night horror.
Sarah Hughes, i Newspaper, 29th January 2018BBC 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.
