A British term denoting a play, movie or TV episode that features only two characters for the duration of the piece. Two-hander episodes are commonly seen in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders, where they've been featured occasionally since 1986.
In television, they're often used for faster filming, since while two actors are filming a two-hander, the rest of the cast can work on another episode. They're often slower-paced and more dialogue-based, with a focus on exposition and character development.
