We are deeply saddened by the news of the death of our friend and colleague Simon Carlyle. Simon was a wonderful comedy talent who, amongst many other credits, co-created and wrote the multi-award-winning series Two Doors Down,” said Jon Petrie, Director of Comedy Commissioning. “His warm comic voice shone through these characters, garnering huge audience affection, and firmly establishing it as a long-lasting sitcom favourite. Our sympathies are with his family and friends at this difficult time." With each additional series, the sitcom’s popularity and fan base grows —the most recent Christmas special attracted its highest audience to date with 2.8million viewing the special across 30 days on all screens; the show’s highest audience since its launch with a one-off Hogmanay special in 2013. a b "BBC Two - Two Doors Down, Series 6, Garden Party".
