About This Program ✦
is a television programme presented in a single episode format. Classified under the genre “episode,” it follows the lives of a small group of characters as they navigate a particularly challenging period. The story centres on three main figures. Sharon finds herself stranded on the opposite side of the globe, unable to join her friends for the holidays. Meanwhile, Dorien and Tracey are constantly at each other’s throats, their irritation growing with every passing day. As Christmas approaches, the tension between them highlights a deeper emptiness, and it becomes clear that each of them is yearning for someone to fill the void in their lives. The episode therefore revolves around the idea that, despite being physically separated or emotionally at odds, the characters share a common need for connection during the festive season. Their individual struggles – Sharon’s isolation, Dorien’s and Tracey’s mutual annoyance – all point toward a shared longing for companionship to bridge the gaps that have formed. By the close of the narrative, the focus remains on the prospect of finding that missing piece, suggesting that the holiday period may yet bring the resolution they all desire.
Birds of a Feather broadcasts on That's TV at 7:15pm, Sunday, 8 February 2026.
