Anecdotes
As Linda Robson and Pauline Quirke, who play Tracey and Sharon, had been best friends since childhood, real life photos of the pair growing up were used in the opening credits - although the earliest photo features only Robson; the baby representing Sharon is actually Robson's real-life sister. However, the famous home movie footage from the closing credits is not Robson and Quirke, but was specially commissioned using child actresses who resembled the pair.

Gaffes
Chris's full name switches between Christopher and Kristakis depending on the episode.

Decent 90's British sitcom

Don't ask me why I am writing a review of this but it was a part of my childhood/adolescence and I saw some repeats in the past few years which allowed me to re-evaluate the series. Despite the main characters being women it was a show anyone could watch, and it gave a glimpse of a suburb called "Chigwell" in a wealthy part of London. The setting was flexible enough to allow for a wide variety of story lines, with a central theme of two dependent women becoming increasingly independent as time goes by. But with a significant leg-up of having a large rent-free house in a good neighbourhood and two hundred grand hidden in a spare tyre. Their husbands play supporting characters and inject a slight amount of social commentary on adjusting to prison life.

Birds of a Feather was easily one of the better British sitcoms from the 90's and offered painless, cringe-free watching (as opposed to eg. Keeping Up Appearances). Even if it became predictable as time went on the quality was fairly high overall (if memory serves correct) and it's a reminder of earlier, happier days for me.
