Two Doors Down Collections

Two Doors Down is about crazy neighbours. We've all got them. They seem ok, but when you scratch the surface they're a bit nuts.  BBC Scotland describes the characters as "not so happily living together" – the neighbours are constantly visiting uninvited and overstaying their welcome, at Beth and Eric Baird's house.Beth is often taken advantage of by her neighbours, frequently having to make tea, pour drinks and prepare food, while the remaining characters chat in the living room. The Bairds have a son Ian, who is openly gay and visits his parents accompanied by his boyfriend.

Much of the comedy revolves around the Whytes' game of one-upmanship over the Bairds, with both Colin and Cathy rarely passing any opportunity to boast about their affluent lifestyle to Eric and Beth. Cathy's condescending and toxic behaviour (usually fuelled by her constant need for alcohol), is barely tolerated by Beth, who struggles to keep her cool for the sake of Eric and Colin's friendship. Meanwhile, fellow next door neighbour Christine also visits the Bairds to talk about her frequent health problems and misfortunes. Christine is prone to making unconsidered remarks that escalate the tensions already building in the room.

Eric and Beth therefore try to avoid their neighbours as much as possible so they can enjoy some peace and quiet in their own home.
