I agree ITVs was naff, was really excited to see it return but was disappointed, and the amount of continuity errors was embarrassing especially as it was the original writers, the lack of garths child and Chris mum coming back from the dead to name 2 of them.
Brilliant but sad Pauline's been diagnosed with Altzimers.Fancied her crazy in her day and even went out with a girl who was the spitting image of her.
birds of a feather is set in Essex but Linda Robson and Pauline Quirke are both from London, that's why they call French and Sunders a pair South London slappers.
What a gem. We had Birds of a Feather briefly here in Aotearoa New Zealand and French and Saunders but l've never seen this. It's brilliant.
32 years ago! Where does time go
It stays where it is. You're moving through it
Dorien once asked the same question. Where did the time go? Sharon, answered, "A couple of thousand mattresses could answer that one, Dor!"
@@karlthomas3374Brilliant! 👏🏼👏🏼🤣😂🤣
"Jimmy Greaves - piss" .. 😂😂😂 That line nearly made me wee 😂😂😂
Hahahahahahahahaha. It's the only line I ever remember.
Jennifer's stink-face through this entire skit cracks me up before they even start talking.
Jen is way funnier than dawn
@@raeturner8711 then again Joanna Lumley is funnier than jen in Ab Fab
@@715michala It shows how generous a writer Jennifer is that she gave so many scene stealing moments to Joanna and June Whitfield.

Ive always wondered if sharon in kath and kims look was inspired by sharon in birds of a feather
True, lol 😂😈

Watched this sketch years ago and it popped up again.
Was just about to post this same comment.
I am so happy to see these sketches. I need subtitles tough. When they try on the jumble clothes was hysterical.
One of my favourite F & S sketches - I can quote it word for word! Wedding VAAAAAAHS!
Same here! Me and my mates are always saying “Jahmbow?”, “ow many bedrooms ya got dahlin?”, “she means the kahzeeeeee”, “nice mag o chaaaarr”
' plates of meat' paaaaaahaaa ' jimmy greaves... Piss' I died at that bit 😂
That's the only line I remembered when re-watching :)
ppotter thanks for uploading it. It's so good to see it again!
Four of our finest comedians in the same studio! Brilliant!
Well three and Linda Robson.
Three and Linda Robson*
@@welshmarvel84😂😂 I didn't see this before I replied 😂😂
Love the four girls brilliant ACTORS wish we could see more of them
Yes 🌹
Linda Robson is certainly not a brilliant actor.
@@anitaevans2432 I agree - she plays herself!
They made me laugh. Still laughing in 2022 😂😂😂😂😂
5:16 Linda Robson smiling and trying to hold it together. Lol
"Oi! Fergie, Diana, tea's up!" 😂😂😂
WONDERFUL STUFF FROM THE BEST Dawn and JEN!!
That was absolutely hilarious I literally cried laughing 😄😄😄😄
Comic Relief, way better than the Sport Relief that replaced it, from the days of decent tv comedy. Thanks for uploading.
True fact. Pauline actually predated French and Saunders with her own sketch show in the 70's!
Indeed she did.
Was that also utterly shit like Birds of a Feather?
@@FiveSigma72 here for French and Saunders then?
She was also in a couple of episodes of "The Duchess of Duke Street" as Pearl, another cockney character.
I remember them both from Shine On Harvey Moon
And don't keep doin' that wi' ya maaaaff
Get me back to the 80s and 90s on loop, forever
Love Birds of a Feather. Never copped till now the similarity between Sharon and Tracey and Jennifer and Dawn.😉
They missed a trick though, they could have also had Joanna Lumley as Dorien Green!
3:42 “‘Ere look, British Home Stores”
I used to work in British Home Stores...
They are classic comedians. No act like them since. Nothing was sacred and they piled it on thick...
French is the spitting image of Pauline
I remember as a kid my mum watched Birds of A Feather practically on loop 😅
Nostalgia flooding back.
'by the look of them Stevie Wonder'.... BAHAHA
How does Jennifer do it ..?...she always looks like her subject
Oh my god 😂😂😂 I LOVE IT!
french and saunders are so amazing
Concurred 4 of our finest comedienes at their best.
@@greenfields1221miranda hart?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 she's abysmal

The facial expressions of French & Saunders 😅😢😂
Hilarious!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Amazing xx
Four comedy Queen legends
My grandads family had a maid growing up and she used to ask for their stuff like old clothes 😆
1:42 Jennifer Saunders looks like she's about to laugh :D
I almost smiled once. Absolutely dire.
Absoutely love this
I'd love an haaaaaaaaaaaaaass like this! Hahaha
Oh my gosh. They both Jennifer. And Do. Tracy. And Sharon. Well done girls.
Just brilliant...😂👍
Love it.
Jennifer Saunders has the embodiment and mannerisms of Pam shipman here (mum from gavin and Stacey)!
Alison Steadman? Never seen it, but I get what you mean :)
@@ppotter yup lol
Love love love this❤

One word...
Genius!
I loved this video
This was funnier than the reboot on ITV . It could have worked on ITV it was a huge shame, ITV Clearly wanted it toned down
I agree ITVs was naff, was really excited to see it return but was disappointed, and the amount of continuity errors was embarrassing especially as it was the original writers, the lack of garths child and Chris mum coming back from the dead to name 2 of them.
Do remake of this 2019
Classic brilliance
Love it
LOL. These two are national treasures. 👑
Cuppa CHAAAAAUUUURRRRRRRRRRR

Cockney is not Essex! Tracey and Sharon were quite pretty when younger ha

Is that because she's a woman?

En suite two of em on heat
Birds of a feather I mean
💜👍💜👍💜😂
It’s really annoying, coz Dawn and Jennifer are using the wrong accent and vocabulary. Birds of a Feather where Essex not Cockney
birds of a feather is set in Essex but Linda Robson and Pauline Quirke are both from London, that's why they call French and Sunders a pair South London slappers.
Never seen this one it was good could have been funnier
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 🤣 🤣
Why dont we have any sitcoms on the telly now. It is all reality shows now which are rubbish
French and Saunders are great, Comic Relief is dead thanks to Henry.
2:20 haha
