Oh dear. Why have they given Birds of a feather the film effect

Doesn't work at all on sitcoms. Looks awful.

They did that on extended / film length type episodes of sitcoms before. OFAH for one.

Was the sound a bit ropey or is it my hearing?
I thought it was all a bit silly but mildly amusing. Dorien looks as though she's been botoxed.

I've always thought that the girls singing was a big mistake and the guy who sang the theme tune very very slowly was just as dire. It sounds as though they have been having singing lessons at it sounded marginally better - but wish they'd just give up the singing altogether.

Bloody terrible.
didn't laugh once and the script felt like it was puked up after an all nighter.
seriously I want this show to carry on because it really can be funny and still has a place.
but the writers/producers aren't making it easy are they? suspect its going to get slaughtered in the ratings

I thought it was pretty funny, much better than the christmas special they had on a plane a couple of years ago!

I agree. The plot was very clever.

The show has been very hit and miss since it came back, i actually enjoyed this episode, though silly in parts.

Reminded me of the old BBC Birds of a Feather specials set abroad _ perhaps ITV have put up the budget.

I found the ending a little ridiculous though - they were in a small plane about to crash and yet they all managed to escape after miraculously finding parachutes and putting them on in a tight space. And what happened to the consular guy/villain - he was unconscious following Sharon hitting him so must have died.

Surely Sharon should have been done for manslaughter?

Apart from that it was fine!
