Birds of a Feather: 30 Years of Laughs

This ninety-minute celebration of the iconic Birds of a Feather revisits our favourite moments, takes a look behind the scenes and explores just what made some twenty million of us tune in week after week, for thirty years. Featuring rarely-seen, behind the scenes footage and unique insight from the stars including Lesley Joseph and Linda Robson, we learn who suffered from such bad stage fright she would vomit before each studio record, what the pre-filming rituals were and who got chased into a loo for their autograph by an overzealous fan… While series producer Esta Charkham and writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran fill us in on the battles the show faced to include groundbreaking, gritty scenes, why the BBC received numerous calls of complaint after the first episode aired, and how Dorien got her ‘look’. We also hear from celebrity fans including Linda Lusardi, Nina Myskow and Kelle Bryan on their favourite moments, and characters.
