Doon Mackichan returns to Two Doors Down
- Doon Mackichan is returning to Two Doors Down in its next series
- Series 7 has begun filming and will air on BBC One later this year
Two Doors Down Series 7 has started filming - and it will see Doon Mackichan return as Cathy.
The character was absent from Series 6, having apparently run off with another man whilst on holiday in Egypt, leaving husband Colin in despair, and eventually embarking upon a relationship with new girlfriend Anne Marie.
Airing later this year, the six-part series about a group of neighbours in a genteel Glasgow suburb will move to BBC One.
Having grouped together to support Colin through his sudden singledom, they now face the prospect of welcoming Cathy back into the community.
The rest of the sitcom's regular cast also return: Jonathan Watson as Colin, Arabella Weir as Beth, Alex Norton as Eric, Elaine C. Smith as Christine, Jamie Quinn as Ian, Kieran Hodgson as Gordon, Joy McAvoy as Michelle, and Graeme 'Grado' Stevely as Alan.
Doon Mackichan says: "I have missed the Two Doors Down family very much so it's a genuine delight to see Cathy bring her unique brand of community spirit back to Latimer Crescent. Beth - get a bottle open."
Co-creators Gregor Sharp and Simon Carlyle say: "Doon is one of the UK's very best comic actors, so we're thrilled to bits that she's returned to pick up Cathy's vape and rejoin the rest of our brilliant cast."
Steven Canny, executive producer for BBC Studios, adds: "It's a total pleasure to welcome Doon back to the family. We've been making Two Doors Down for a decade and couldn't be happier that Cathy has come home again."
All but the sitcom's original pilot episode are available to watch on iPlayer.

Two Doors Down - The Complete Series 1-3
All three series of the BBC radio sitcom about the people of Marlborough Road, Belfast.
The bohemian inhabitants of Marlborough Road lead lives of barely contained chaos, full of demands, distractions and domestic dramas. Fortunately, they have one person they can count on when things go wrong - Sally, their cleaning lady-cum-therapist.
When highly-strung Clare at Number 25 gets in a flap over a dinner guest, or needs a babysitter for her free-range children, Sally steps in. Saffron, the multi-tasking New Age mum at Number 27, would be lost without Sally, and two doors down at Number 29, Miss Edith Black relies on Sally's help when it comes to sorting out authentic Victorian railings for her lodging house (and dealing with her eccentric lodgers, Ulster-Scots poet Victor McVitie and handsome opera star Fintan Fanning).
Reliable and unflappable, Sally is always there to keep everything in order in this Belfast street. But what will happen to the residents if she decides to leave them?
Written by best-selling novelist and playwright Annie McCartney, this sparkling comedy series stars Frances Tomelty and Stella McCusker as Sally, with guest stars including Gerry Anderson, Sean Rafferty and Eddie McIlwaine as themselves.

Two Doors Down - Series 6
Two Doors Down returns with six brand new exasperating episodes and a Christmas Special that really tests the neighbours' friendships to the limit.
Bursting with comic vitality, acid-tongued put downs and ultimate awkwardness, this sixth series of the award-winning comedy brings us back into the world of the neighbours we wouldn't want to live next door to.
Beth and Eric's peaceful suburban existence is continually punctured by the inappropriate behaviour of their fellow residents, who are often rude about their hospitality and nearly always outstay their welcome.
Lifelong hypochondriac Christine never misses an opportunity to sponge a cuppa off Beth while undermining her at the same time; Colin needs his neighbours more than ever this series but can't help oversharing personal details as he adjusts to his new life; and ever-positive Michelle continues to struggle with hapless Alan's imperfections. It seems Beth and Eric's only support comes in the form of loving son Ian and his wide-eyed fiancé Gordon.
Includes all Series 6 episodes and the 2022 Christmas special.
First released: Monday 16th January 2023
