Chickens C4 run to begin in September
The new sitcom from Inbetweeners stars Joe Thomas (left) and Simon Bird (centre) will begin airing on C4 from next month.
Wartime comedy ‘Chickens’ has been written by Bird and Thomas alongside actor and comedian Jonny Sweet. The three actors, who also make up The House Of Windsor sketch group, tell the story of three young men who, for different reasons, are forced to stay home and face the contempt of women and children whilst their friends, and all the other men in their village, fight for Britain overseas.
A statement from C4 describes Chickens as “a sitcom about three young guys in a woman’s world, trying to prove their manhood. Every day they live in fear of being labelled as cowards – an argument they’ve already lost in the mere act of still being in England.”
Chickens will debut on C4 on Friday 2nd September at 10:30pm.
