It has been two years since the seventh series of the BBC sitcom came to an end. Following the death of co-writer Simon Carlyle, it was expected that no new episodes would be released.

However, fans have been blessed with a brand new Christmas special for 2025. It is set to be broadcast on BBC One tonight (December 24).

Two Doors Down is set to start at 10pm, following the repeat of the Gavin and Stacey finale. It will also be available to watch on iPlayer.

Who is in the cast for Two Doors Down in 2025?

The Christmas special will feature plenty of familiar faces. All of your favourite characters will be back for the episode, including:

  • Arabella Weir - Beth
  • Alex Norton - Eric
  • Doon MacKichan - Cathy
  • Jonathan Watson - Colin
  • Elaine C Smith - Christine
  • Grado - Alan
  • Joy McAvoy - Michelle
  • Jamie Quinn - Ian
  • Kieran Hodgson - Gordon

Joy McAvoy promised: “The episode has some lovely Christmas cheer, songs and laughs. It’s a wonderful Christmas special that is sure to be a fan favourite.”

Arabella Weir joked: “It'll be Christmassy, but probably not filled with a whole load of Christmas spirit, except the kind Cathy likes!”

Alex Norton added: “Getting together with the cast again was a little odd at first, but as soon as we were back in our costumes and sitting in Eric and Beth's living room, it felt like we'd never been away.”

What to expect from Two Doors Down this Christmas?

When Eric and Beth put their tree up earlier than usual, they unwittingly kick off the Christmas season in Latimer Crescent. What starts as a labour-saving convenience quickly turns into a flurry of festive activity, as neighbours start to gear up for the holidays in their own unique ways.

Colin and Cathy find themselves pondering the perfect gift for each other, while Ian and Gordon plan for a quieter, scaled-back Christmas.

Meanwhile, Alan and Michelle wrestle with transport issues that threaten to derail their festive plans, and Christine is busy arranging a very special trip, ensuring that the season is full of surprises, laughter, and the kind of neighbourly chaos that only Latimer Crescent can provide.
