The official teaser reads: "When Eric and Beth invite the gang over to hear a big announcement from Ian, speculation is rife as to what it’s about. A trip abroad? A change of career? Or could he and Gordon be finally ready to confirm arrangements for the wedding of the year?

"Meanwhile, Christine’s got a new obsession, Alan and Michelle have a big night out planned, and Colin and Cathy are up to their usual - looking for a party.

"When Ian and Gordon arrive, their news takes everyone by surprise - but not as much as when Eric and Beth make an unexpected announcement of their own."

Show creator Gregor Sharp said: “It’s always a treat to go to The Hydro to see a show, so it’s a dream come true to be bringing Two Doors Down Live to such an amazing venue with the full cast from the TV series.

"They are an incredible group of performers, and we can’t wait to welcome the audience into Beth and Eric’s, where we can guarantee there will be some surprises as well as the odd person behaving entirely true to form!”

It comes after the much-loved sitcom was axed in 2023 when its co-creator, Simon Carlyle, sadly died aged 48.

Following that, the co-writer of the show, Gregor Sharp, announced he couldn't carry on the programme without Simon.

However, 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 well-known Scottish sitcom ran for seven series, with the seventh season screening in November 2023, several months after Simon's death.

It first appeared on TV screens as a one-off Hogmanay pilot in 2013. After that, multiple series of the hugely successful programme were produced.
