Birds of a Feather Series 12

Tracey’s ex-husband dies and she has to decide what kind of a send-off to give him. Sharon wants the funeral to be right for her boys, Dorien’s got the perfect outfit, and Chigwell’s criminal fraternity want to make it extra special.

Tracey’s house has been burgled during Darryl’s funeral. The family decide it’s up to them to track down their possessions and set out on a trail involving a snooker club, a pawnbroker and the infamous Theydon Boys drag club.

Sharon’s disapproval of Tracey dating policeman Barry and apparently overlooking Garth’s feelings for his dad lead to a major quarrel between the sisters. Is it one that Dorien, in her new role as Agony Aunt for GetA-Life Magazine, can solve?

Tracey’s had enough of Dorien entertaining gentlemen callers and Sharon not bringing in a living wage, and throws them both out. Holed up in Sharon’s old bedsit, the two of them take a united stand…or do they?

Auntie Vera’s got problems with her hips and her block’s defective lifts and tells Sharon and Tracey she’s moving in with them. But Tracey’s only got one room available: it’s Dorien’s… and Dorien is dismayed to be told that family comes first.

A surprise visitor in the form of the attractive Emma turns up at Tracey’s house. Sharon’s suspicious, Tracey is welcoming, and Dorien is shocked to the core. Travis, on the other hand, is over the moon.

Travis has serious school news that he’s scared to break to his mum. Sharon decides she’ll pass herself off as Tracey and sort out his problems, but her efforts land the family in a mess that only arch-seducer Dorien can get them out of.

Sharon and Tracey suspect that Dorien is fast approaching “The Big Seven 0”, and decide that, whether she likes it or not, the event calls for celebration.
