Lesley Joseph says Birds of a Feather may return

OHMYGOSSIP — Lesley Joseph has claimed ‘Birds of a Feather’ could return if she and her co-stars Pauline Quirke and Linda Robson are all available at the same time.
The 73-year-old actress played maneater Dorien Green for the beloved sitcom’s initial run on BBC One between 1989 and 1998 and then reprised the role when the show was picked up by ITV over from January 2014 for a three-year revival.
A fourth series for ITV was commissioned but is yet to be filmed which means the show is off air in 2019, however, despite reports it has been completely axed from the schedule Lesley insists Dorien could be reunited with friends Sharon Theodopolopodous (Pauline) and Tracey Stubbs (Linda).
In an interview on UK TV show ‘This Morning’, Lesley said: “Never say never. Watch this space. I have to rely on three people all being available at the same time.”
Refusing to give a time frame for a possible return, she added: “I don’t know to be honest. We’re not really free this year; I’m not free this year I’m doing ‘Calendar Girls’ and then ‘Annie’ and then panto as I always do. So I never say never this just didn’t fit in so hopefully next year. Who knows?”
Lesley is very proud of the programme and insists it was “groundbreaking” when it first hit screens because it was one of the first sitcoms based around female characters.
She said: “It came out 30 years ago this year and it was trailblazing because I think it was one of the first times that three women of a certain age had actually led a situational comedy on television so it was completely groundbreaking.
“I think we had something like 300 complaints on the first episode because I think it was Pauline who said ‘bloody!’ How times have changed!”
