Chickens

Chickens

Quirky period British comedy, set during the First World War, written by and starring Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and Jonny Sweet.

They're the only men in the village, and all the women hate them. Our nation's heroes are fighting the good fight on foreign soil, but in one sleepy English village three young men remain. George (Thomas) is a conscientious objector, Cecil (Bird) has flat feet (apparently), and Bert (Sweet) really is a coward, unfortunately. In the eyes of their neighbours they're all the same - chickens.

So in a world of (quite sexy) women, children and the infirm, these twenty-something chaps have only each other for company and nothing else in common.
