"Birds of a Feather" - "Shift" (1.3) Quiz

Answer: Earlier

At the very beginning of this episode, viewers observe Sharon dancing around her sister's kitchen, helping herself to whatever she wants, while also making quite a mess in the process. As the latter enters and starts to clean up after her sister, Sharon takes a bite of a cold, king prawn, only to be confronted by Tracey, who initiates the conversation outlined in the question. Needless to say, while Sharon is clearly delighted to be free of her husband, who is in prison with Tracey's husband, Tracey is struggling to deal with life on her own, and is further irked by her inconsiderate sister, Sharon.

Answer: Condensation

This hilarious quip is from early on in the episode, as Tracey tries to reign in Sharon's spending. Indeed as the former attempts to make her sister see sense, the latter brushes aside her sibling's concern, convinced that Tracey is more than comfortably well off.

The quotation mentioned in the question immediately follows Tracey's pointed dig, that "It costs a site more to run this place than a council flat in Edmonton."

Answer: "Have I missed much?"

Ever the busybody, Tracey's neighbour, Dorien is soon knocking at her front door once she sees that the former's curtains are drawn. Annoyed at this interruption, as she is watching a treasured home video of her husband, Darryl, Tracey tries to put off her meddling neighbour, but to no avail, as Dorien merely pushes her way past Tracey and enters her home.

Answer: "You're not just buying a t-shirt, dear. You're getting an exclusive carrier bag too."

After barging into Tracey's home and spoiling her afternoon, Dorien announces that she is collecting money for Greenpeace. As a result, she asks Tracey to donate any of her old, designer clothes, so that they can then be sold in a local charity shop. This prompts Tracy to reveal that not all of her clothes have designer labels, which culminates in the comical exchange detailed in the question. Needless to say, Dorien is baffled by Tracey's ability to buy something that does not have a designer name tag attached to it.

Answer: Her toy boy

While rifling through Tracey's wardrobe, Dorien is overcome with emotion when she discovers a shirt of Darryl's [Tracey's husband], which is exactly the same as one she herself recently bought for her toy boy, Luke. As she explains to Tracey, she had "hardly given it to him when he told" her he no longer wished to see her any more. Sniffling pitifully, she then reveals that Luke has left her for a student teacher, a woman who is considerably younger than Dorien.

Answer: Jewish

During this episode Dorien confines in Tracey that she is fact from a similar background to her. Indeed in a moment of weakness, and much to Tracey's surprise, Dorien reveals that before she was married she lived with her parents in a house in Colindale.

She also swears her neighbour to secrecy, claiming that no-one other than herself, her husband, and now, Tracey, is privy to this juicy bit of information.

Answer: "Clocks go back tomorrow night."

Poor Sharon finds herself displaced from her usual role on the checkout, and is mortified to discover that she has been placed on the delicatessen. Convinced that she is being tarred by the same brush as her husband, who is now a convicted armed robber, she kicks up quite a fuss, but to no avail.

As the checkout girl who makes the sly comment detailed in the question suggests, as far as many of her colleagues are concerned, Sharon can no longer be trusted.

Answer: There is no money in her account.

Despite not really wanting to purchase the two sweaters she eventually ends up buying, Tracey does so in order to impress Dorien. However when the pair then visit a local cash point, Tracey gets a nasty shock when the screen reveals that she has no money at all left in the bank. Upon realising this, she then asks (aloud) how on earth it is possible that she has no money, as her husband is a convicted bank robber.

At the end of the episode, it is revealed that these accounts have been frozen, while the police investigate the possibility that Tracey's husband has committed additional crimes, other than those he has been imprisoned for.

Answer: True

Tracey spends the majority of this episode fretting about her finances, which is further exacerbated by her sister, Sharon's, freeloading ways. In one particular conversation, Tracey makes her feelings quite clear, by pointing out the many ways Sharon is taking advantage of her.

At the end of her tether, Tracey takes her sister to task, telling her that she always has her hand in the fridge and spends too much time in the Jacuzzi.

Answer: The glass falls to pieces

This is the final scene of this particular episode, and immediately follows the scene that shows the police searching Tracey's house for evidence of an early crime committed by her husband, Darryl. Tracey is convinced that they will find her (real) diamond ring, which should be sitting on her dressing table, in full view of the police officers.

However the scene mentioned in the question reveals that Sharon has borrowed her sister's ring, thinking it is only costume jewellery, only to be proven wrong when her drinking buddy's glass is smashed to smithereens.
