Episode list

When Dorien begins acting even more strangely than usual Sharon and Tracey begin to suspect that she is rapidly approaching "The Big Seven-O" and decide to celebrate the event, whether she wants to or not.

Tracey is extremely welcoming when she gets a surprise visitor turning up on her doorstep. Sharon is suspicious of the attractive newcomer, Dorien shocked to the core but Travis is over the moon.

When Tracey's ex-husband dies she has to decide what kind of send-off to give him. Sharon wants it to be special for the boys, while Dorien focuses on finding the perfect outfit.

During Darryl's funeral Tracey's house is burgled. The family set out to track down their stolen possessions themselves, this leads them to a snooker hall, a pawnbroker's and a drag club.

Sharon and Tracey have not spoken for years, since Sharon called Tracey's new husband Ralph a bad lot - which he was, hence Tracey's divorcing him. Now, in a meeting engineered by Tracey's schoolboy son Travis, they both turn up for a book signing by sexy authoress Foxy Cohen - who is actually Dorien. Appalled that Sharon is living in a dismal flat Tracey invites her to stay again, but then Dorien arrives. Served with a writ for plagiarism and with her assets frozen, she becomes Tracey's next lodger - to Sharon's annoyance. And to add to an already full house, Garth returns unannounced from Australia with his new wife Marcie and her little daughter Poppy.

Auntie Vera can no longer cope with living in a block of flats and so announces that she is going to move in with Sharon and Tracey. The only room available is Dorien's and family comes first.

Travis has finally been allowed to fly the nest on a gap year to Spain, but nobody has heard from him for 4 days and he was last seen heading for Morocco. A worried Tracey sets off to find him with Sharon and Dorien in tow.

Travis is in trouble at school but is afraid to tell his mother, so Auntie Sharon comes up with a way to help him - by posing as her sister. This leads to a whole series of problems that only Dorien's seductive powers can get them out of.

Everybody is feeling the pinch and Sharon feels as if she is Dorien's slave so, to raise cash, the sisters force their house guest to sell her designer clothes at a boot fair. The sale does well but Tracey still has bills to pay so Gareth gets a job as a chef whilst Marcie starts up her business as a masseuse. Sharon takes Dorien for a job at the World of Quid discount shop but, to Sharon's annoyance, Dorien ends up as the new store manager.

Years ago Auntie Sylvie told the sisters that they were adopted and now she has died they get to see their birth certificates, stating that their real father was called G. Hamilton. They get it into their heads that this is the American actor George Hamilton, who could have been in the area at the time and, thanks to Dorien, who of course goes with them, they fly out to Hollywood to meet their daddy. Their plans to confront him do not go well as they are chased off the film set but they are befriended by actor George Wendt, who eventually arranges a meeting with the perma-tanned player. Inevitably he is not their father and, on return to Chigwell, the truth is far less glamorous.
