Why is it the people you're closest to that always seem to cause you the most grief? "Two Doors Down" features a cast of truly distinctive characters - Beth (Arabella Weir) and Eric (Alex Norton), Cathy (Doon Mackichan) and Colin (Jonathan Watson), Christine (Elaine C Smith) and daughter Sophie

(Sharon Rooney), Ian (Jamie Quinn) and Jaz (Harki Bhambra) - all ready to support each other through life's highs and lows. That sounds like a blessing but it's often more of a curse. From day-to-day, apparently trivial, events to life-defining decisions and ordeals, what starts out as friendly interest usually snowballs into trodden toes, crossed boundaries and seriously frayed tempers. Also featuring the New Year's Eve special.
