Birds of a Feather - Series 5

Sharon is looking for a man, but the one she likes is attracted to Tracey.

It's an explosive time in Chigwell, with upheavals for Sharon, Tracey and Dorien.

Dorien tries, and fails, to sell her unwanted furniture, and Sharon badgers Tracey into giving her driving lessons; after one of Sharon's disastrous driving tests it doesn't take long for Tracey's nerves to go bad. Eventually, Sharon's driving errors lead to her crashing into the van taking Darryl and Chris to a new prison, and the girls are suspected of organising a jail-break - before making the joke spot on the news.

After a spate of burglaries, the sisters find themselves on the agenda of a Neighbourhood Watch meeting at Dorien's house. But is there a connection between the crimes and the anonymous letters and calls Tracey has been receiving?

Dorien's husband goes missing, and she's later seen digging a suspiciously man-shaped hole in the garden, prompting Sharon and Tracey to fear their man-hungry neighbour has taken to murder as a sideline.

A family tragedy wins Sharon's husband leave from prison—but he takes the opportunity to do a runner.

At last it seems as if Sharon has found romance, but the path of true love is rocky. For Tracey, a business venture with Dorien has its own hazards.

Sharon has toothache, but won't go to the dentist. When Dorien tries to help, the result is chaos.

Love is in the air for Tracey's son, Garth, but the course of true love runs anything but smoothly—particularly when Dorien takes a hand.

A mystery pension fund payment leads Tracey, Sharon and Dorien on a voyage of discovery which ends with a big surprise.

When the police want to use Tracey and Sharon's home for a surveillance operation, the girls suspect a new neighbour, but the solution proves closer to home.

Sharon faces a crisis in her relationship with Colin, Tracey has a new friend, and Dorien feels left out. In Chigwell, feathers are ruffled.

Tracey manages a boys' football team, while Dorien finds a psychic who will change her life. In the end, the two worlds collide.

When Sharon And Tracy find out that their real father could be actor George Hamilton, Dor takes them on a trip to Hollywood to try and find out for sure. But chaos ensues when they sneak onto the backlot of George's new movie.
