Much-loved Scottish television sitcom Two Doors Down is set to leave BBC Two and move to BBC One Scotland as it returns for a seventh series later this year. Television bosses said the production of the new series will get underway this summer.
The comedy series, which is filmed in Dumbarton, returned to our screens last November for a sixth instalment, which saw Siobhan Redmond replace Doon Mackichan, who played Cathy, as Anne-Marie, Colin’s new love interest.
