Two Doors Down review
Overall, it's a pretty slight special - at 30 minutes there's barely enough time to assemble the cast and have the usual banter before wrapping things up, and if possible it seems even less eventful than the usual low-key storylines - but it's a warm one that is sure to bring some comfort to those whose own Christmases have been anything but normal.

Douglas Walker, The Scottish Sun, 27th January 2019TV Review: Two Doors Down
Certainly, the jokes in this fourth series are easier to see coming than before, but by this stage in the game the comedy is coming more from the characters than the situation.
Alison Rowat, The Herald, 22nd January 2019Beth pays Christine a post-op visit, but is surprised to discover the operation has been postponed to the following morning. "I thought you were sleeping off the anaesthetic!" "No, I'm sleeping off the steak pie I had for dinner." As the big day looms, the neighbours tactfully discuss her chances round her bedside.
