Two sisters in Chigwell whose husbands are both in prison.

Birds of a Feather rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 1 and 10, running between 37 and 42 seconds.

It arrived on BBC One in 1989, when A Question of Sport, Grandstand and This Is Your Life were also on the network.

Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Birds of a Feather did so once.
