Chickens (new Channel 4 comedy)
Anyone intrigued by this World War I set comedy? Written by Simon Bird and Joe Thomas (Will and Simon of Inbetweeners fame) along with Johnny Sweet, their former Footlights colleague. I imagine it will be immediately typecast as period Inbetweeners (even though they didn't write that), but I've seen them both doing really good stand-up and roles in plays, and if anything Johnny Sweet is even funnier (and cleverer) than either of them, so I could imagine this being really good.
