The series charted the ups and downs of two dolly-birds sharing a flat on Huskisson Street, on Merseyside . The series concentrated on the problems encountered by the two young single women when dealing with boyfriends, work, parents and each other. Dressed in the best 1970 s fashions, the girls Dawn ( Pauline Collins ) and Beryl Hennessey ( Polly James ) desperately trawled parties, looking for romance. In Season 2, Sandra Hutchinson ( Nerys Hughes ) replaced Dawn for the rest of the programme's run. Beryl was the more common one, whilst Sandra was soft-spoken and refined. This was mainly due to the influence of her snobbish and overbearing mother played by Mollie Sugden . The title originated in the name given to two Sculpted Birds perched atop the Royal Liver Building at Pier Head in the city of Liverpool . The title song for the series was sung by The Scaffold . The group included Paul McCartney 's brother, Mike. The original series ran for 9 seasons on who had played Carol's mother in Seasons 5-9, returned as the same character but now transformed into Beryl's mother, and Carol's rabbit-obsessed brother Lucien, played by Michael Angelis became Beryl's brother. The revival was not popular and only lasted one season. EXTERNAL LINKS |
