Award-winning Scottish BBC sitcom Two Doors Down has confirmed it will return later this year.

Two years since it last premiered a new episode, the show will be coming back for another half-hour Christmas special.

The episode will see the residents of Latimer Crescent get together at Beth (Arabella Weir) and Eric's (Alex Norton) house to celebrate the festive season.

Alongside those two, the special will also feature Christine (Elaine C Smith), Cathy (Doon Mackichan) and Colin (Jonathan Watson), Alan (Graeme Stevely) and Michelle (Joy McAvoy), Ian (Jamie Quinn) and his fiancé Gordon (Kieran Hodgson).

Gregor Sharp, who wrote every previously episode with Simon Carlyle, is back on writing duties, although this time he's flying solo.

He said: "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."

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

"Gregor and the gang bring the warm laughs, sly digs and brilliantly petty moments that make Two Doors Down such a cracking comedy. Expect it to sparkle on BBC iPlayer and BBC One faster than Cathy can pop a prosecco."

All previous episodes of Two Doors Down are available to stream now on BBC iPlayer, with the Christmas special set to air on BBC One and BBC Scotland over the festive season.
