Synopsis:

Everyone's favourite Essex girls return with this fifth series of Birds Of A Feather - one of the 1990s most successful, long-running and memorable sitcoms. This release comprises all ten episodes of Series Seven together with The Chigwell Years, a retrospective special screened in March 1996 featuring clips from previous shows. 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...

Season 7, Episode 11: Reservoir Birds
Original Air Date-27 December 1997
Sharon and Tracey are working at a casino and agree to take part in a publicity stunt in which Sharon 'appears' to win a million pounds. The sisters are unaware that they have been set up as thieves by the owner,crooked Davey Cooper, who is in league with a bent cop. The plan is that the girls get the blame and are arrested whilst Cooper pockets the million. Sharon and Tracey go on the run, helped by their niece Dawn,who is getting married, culminating in a chase where Sharon,in a wedding dress,Tracey,and Dorien - who just happens to number Davey among the notches on her bed post - are taken hostage but pull together to clear their names.

Birds of a Feather was based on 'A Rift in the Loot', a play by George Foster. British music-hall great George Robey stars as a "nouveau riche" sausage manufacturer. Hoping to break into society, Robey moves himself and his loved ones into the castle of a noble but impecunious family. So as to avoid the scandal of their poverty, the castle's real owners pose as servants. It isn't long before the lowbrows and highbrows discover that they're really not all that different underneath, especially when Robey's daughter and the aristocrats' son fall in love.
