Synopsis:

Everyone's favourite Essex girls return with this second series of Birds of a Feather - one of the 1990s' most successful, longrunning and memorable sitcoms. This release also features the feature-length Christmas Specials from 1990. Created by legendary screenwriters Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran (The New Statesman, Shine on Harvey Moon), the series chronicles the misadventures of Sharon and Tracy (Pauline Quirke and Linda Robson) - North London-born sisters left to fend for themselves, both 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 some 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 adventures of their man-eating Jewish neighbour, Dorien (Lesley Joseph), to keep them entertained...
