One of television’s best-known Jewish characters is set to return after a gap of 15 years.
Dorien Green, the man-eating Chigwell divorcee, played by Lesley Joseph, is back in a new series of the sitcom Birds Of A Feather, last seen on TV screens in the late ’90s.
Ms Joseph, who is Jewish, said she is “delighted” to be playing the role again.
“What is nice about Dorien is you don’t get many Jewish women characters played on TV. She is one of few. She is funny, and that humour is part of Jewish culture.”
