As the Great War rages, our nation’s heroes are fighting the good fight on foreign soil. But in one sleepy English village, three fellows remain…

The six-part comedy stars, Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners)Jonny Sweet and Joe Thomas (The Inbetweeners) in a new Sky1 comedy beginning Thursday 22nd August at 9.30pm.

Chickens is about three young men who avoid combat in the First World War: George is a conscientious objector, Cecil would love to be fighting for queen and country but his flat feet mean the army won’t have him – and then there’s Bert, a philandering scaredicat on the run.

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.
