Birds of a Feather

Tracey, fed up with her sister’s failure to contribute to the household finances and her sex‑mad friend’s constant gentleman callers, throws Sharon and Dorien out. As a result, the duo relocate to the cramped bedsit Sharon previously occupied again for the night.

Going, Going, Gone is a programme presented in an episodic format, offering viewers a self‑contained story within each instalment. The series is structured around everyday situations that spiral into unexpected outcomes, and this particular episode follows the fallout from a family dispute that quickly reshapes the characters’ living arrangements. In the centre of the episode, Tracey reaches a breaking point and orders her sister Sharon, together with Sharon’s friend Dorien, to leave the house. She is fed up because Sharon has not been contributing her share of the household finances, and she is equally annoyed by Dorien’s habit of entertaining a steady stream of male visitors, which she finds disruptive. Consequently, the two women are forced to find somewhere else to stay and end up moving into the small flat that Sharon previously occupied – a modest bedsit that had been left empty. The shift in residence underscores the tension that prompted Tracey’s decision, as the pair adapt to the cramped space left behind. Tracey’s actions are driven by her frustration over the unpaid financial responsibilities and the constant presence of Dorien’s gentleman callers. By evicting them and sending them back to Sharon’s former bedsit, the episode highlights how personal grievances can quickly alter domestic dynamics and force characters into new, albeit familiar, surroundings.
