Birds of a Feather Review

Birds of a Feather DVD Box Set
The Complete Series

Reviewed by David Savage

A classic comedy box set featuring all 9 series over 19 DVD’s about 2 North London sisters living in Essex after their husbands are sent to prison for armed robbery. The box set contains all 102 episodes for 51 hours viewing of one of the 1990s’ most successful sitcoms.

The episodes feature the lives and adventures of sisters Sharon (Pauline Quirke) and Tracey (Linda Robson) and Dorien (Lesley Joesph) their rich, man-eating bored housewife neighbour.

The 3 stars are all absolutely brilliant and funny in their different characters. Even during the sadder moments it still manages to be funny and Pauline Quirke is definitely the star of the show.

It has classic lines such as “takes other people’s money out of the bank with a sawed off cheque book” and even has a cameo appearance from Ross Kemp (Grant Mitchell, EastEnders) as a police detective.

This is a great collectible box set for viewers of the original series and for lovers of great comedy.
