Linda Robson

Radio Times review

"Bring in a regular wage or find someone else to ponce off!" is Tracey's ultimatum to Sharon shortly before chucking her sister and Dorien out on the street with a bin bag of clothes and no money. It means the pair must doss down for the night in less than salubrious surroundings, while we must face a barrage of jokes about evil-smelling toilets, crack dens and prostitutes.

Linda Robson spends most of the episode looking like a bulldog chewing a wasp although there is one scene between her and Pauline Quirke, who's holed up in a bookies, that gives you hope that this sitcom could return to its former glory.

Radio Times review

After years of Towie brashness, the bawdy Essex humour of Birds of a Feather seems cosy by comparison. Bad puns come with the regularity of a metronome, while the plot signposting is so big it could take your eye out. That said, the on-screen relationships between Pauline Quirke, Linda Robson and Lesley Joseph are as comfortable as a pair of fluffy slippers.

In the first episode of this new series, Dorien is treating Sharon and Tracey to a holiday in the Canary Islands. But before the flight has even taken off, Dorien is in the onboard loo waiting to join the "50ft High Club". The jokes are pretty down to earth, too - assume the brace position throughout.
