Hit Scottish sitcom Two Doors Down is set to make a shock comeback, the BBC has confirmed.
The multi-award-winning programme will return with a new Christmas special.
The broadcaster said the residents of Latimer Crescent, where the show is based, will congregate at Beth's (Arabella Weir) and Eric's (Alex Norton) house to celebrate Xmas.
The BBC also confirmed all the stars of the show will feature in the episode, including Christine (Elaine C Smith), Cathy (Doon Mackichan) and Colin (Jonathan Watson), Alan (Graeme Stevely) and Michelle (Joy McAvoy), plus Beth and Eric’s son Ian (Jamie Quinn) and his fiancé Gordon (Kieran Hodgson).

Gregor Sharp, who has written the new Christmas special, 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.”
BBC Director of Comedy Jon Petrie said: “There’s something comforting about having the neighbours round for Christmas, even if they bring minor chaos.
"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.”
Josh Cole, Head of Comedy, BBC Studios Productions, and Steven Canny, Executive Producer, added: “We’re so pleased to be returning to Latimer Crescent and can’t wait for the audience to be back in Beth and Eric’s for another torturous Christmas.
"Gregor and Simon created a brilliantly funny show that has an outstanding cast of memorable and lovable characters, and we’re hugely looking forward to seeing them torment each other again.”
Louise Thornton, BBC Scotland’s Head of Commissioning, said: “I’m delighted to be working with our network comedy colleagues to bring Two Doors Down back to our screens for a festive special.
"It holds a very special place in the heart of our audiences, and we’re looking forward to seeing what Christmas treats will be unwrapped with our friends at Latimer Crescent.”

Two Doors Down first hit TV screens in 2013 as a one-off special. After that, several series of the show were made.
The comedy was written and created by Simon Carlyle and Gregor Sharp. Sadly, we reported how Simon passed away aged 48 in 2023.
Following that, Gregor revealed he couldn't carry on the show without Simon.
However, earlier this year, fans of the comedy were left buzzing when rumours previously emerged that Gregor had a 'change of heart' and was crafting an Xmas special.
The new episode of the sitcom will be produced by BBC Studios Comedy Productions.
