Got to say I cringed when Alan and Michelle talked about doing a Cathy, you just knew she’d be raging.
Two doors down
- Thread starter Thelmachops
- Start date
I'm very envious of you having all those episodes to catch up on, never having watched them before. You're in for a real treat!I only just discovered this gem of a programme a few weeks ago and I’m hooked!
I love how cosy and comforting it is, I rather like that it’s quite prosaic and follows much the same theme each episode. My favourite episodes are the ones set in Beth and Eric’s front room and everyone’s round. I’d love to sit on the couch with a coffee and sponge listening to Christine’s remarks
Christine's scathing, caustic remarks and one-liners make me laugh out loud - I often rewind just to hear them again. Elaine C Smith is the perfect choice for Christine's character, she's such a good actor - I'm old enough to remember her as Rab C Nesbitt's wife, Mary (doll) in the late 80s/90s. She's my favourite character in 2 Doors Down.
Enjoy!
I always remember the Christmas special when Christine supplied the trifle and was in a hurry to dish it out, because ... 'technically, after midnight, the cream on this trifle is out of date'.

She's an absolute bleeping genius that woman. She has me HOWLING. When they have new neighbours round and she asks him (a Doctor) to look at her dodgy shoulder. He asks her what her GP has advised and she says 'Ach no, you could walk in there with your head in yer arm and she'd tell you to take 2 paracetamol and dial 111'.

That's a shame

The Cathy character has always made me uneasy, she is such a bullying character. She dominates. The penny drops. She reminds me of a nasty colleague.

Cathy is a witch. Christine is too, she’s just more “subtle” compared to Cathy.

Cathy’s rotten. I couldn’t tolerate that

The Food Guys - Nick Nairn and Douggie Vipond - were on tv this morning and Christine was the guest. She was hilarious!

Read on Twitter that Doon (Cath) has said there are no plans for anymore episodes, but they may reunite to do ‘something’ later down the line.
I know that’s no surprise given what happened with the writer but it’s a real shame nonetheless.

I just read the same, not surprising but I hope we eventually get another special.

That would be such a good concept
