Birds of a Feather: Complete Series 8

Everyone's favourite Essex girls return with this eighth series of Birds of a Feather - one of the 1990s most successful, long-running and memorable sitcoms. This release comprises all six episodes of Series Eight, originally screened in 1998, alongside the 1997 Christmas Special, also starring The Bill s Christopher Ellison. Created by the legendary comedy partnership of Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran (The New Statesman), the series chronicles the misadventures of Sharon and Tracy (Pauline Quirke and Linda Robson) - North London-born sisters left to fend for themselves, financially and emotionally, when their husbands are jailed for armed robbery. The girls have lived very different lives, Tracey enjoying the neo-Georgian splendour of Dalentrace - the luxury home paid for by husband Darryl s criminal activities -while her sister had remained in an Edmonton tower block. Now, Sharon lives with Tracey, enjoying a few home comforts and offering much-needed moral support - even if some of her habits prove a tad annoying. And if life in Chigwell sometimes seems a little dull, there are always the extra-marital antics of their man-eating Jewish neighbour, Dorien (Lesley Joseph), to keep them entertained...
