Simon Carlyle, the co-creator of hit BBC sitcom Two Doors Down, has died aged 48.
Carlyle’s manager Amanda Davis confirmed the news in a statement to Pa Media.
“I am immensely sorry to confirm that Simon Carlyle has died at the age of 48,” Davis said.
“Simon was a wonderful person and a major comedic talent. He was much respected across the industry both for the quality of his writing and for being a kind, funny, supportive and nurturing collaborator. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go to his family, friends and colleagues.”
With Gregor Sharp, Carlyle was the co-creator of Scottish BBC sitcom Two Doors Down, which stars the likes of Arabella Weir and Alex Norton as neighbours in a suburban street in Scotland, who are “all a bit nuts,” according to an interview with Carlyle several years ago.
The show has been hugely popular, running for six seasons on BBC Two...

Alan Carr has landed his first primetime quiz show for the BBC, a picture format in which contestants correctly identify images.
The RuPaul’s Drag Race UK judge is hosting Picture Slam from Ben Shephard and Ed De Burgh’s Triple Brew Media and Omg Scotland.
Teams will be presented with a board full of images that they need to correctly identify against the clock. If they clear a full board with correct answers for a ‘Picture Slam’ they’ll receive a cash bonus. Only the team who makes it to the final will take home any of their banked cash and, if they can find all the required pictures, they’ll take home the jackpot of up to £10,000.
Filming begins at the new Pacific Quay Studios in Glasgow later this year.
Carr has never hosted a BBC Saturday quiz before and the news will throw doubts over the future...
