Stage show for Birds Of A Feather
The cast of Birds Of A Feather are to reunite for a stage version of the Nineties sitcom.
Pauline Quirke, Linda Robson and Lesley Joseph will hit the road next year, after Quirke quits Emmerdale.
She said: ‘We don't know where we're going to do it but we will be doing it - me, Linda and Lesley.
‘I thought it was about time we resurrected us three old girls, so we'll be doing a tour next spring.’
‘We're just trying to work out whether we bring the story forward or leave it as we left it. But we were all 20 years younger looking then so will probably have to refresh it a bit.’
The sitcom, about two Essex sisters whose husbands were in jail, ran for nine series from 1989 to 1998 and was written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran.
Robson first broke the news of the planned tour last year, but said it depended on Quirke’s schedule, as she had just signed up for the ITV soap at the time.
