About Chickens

Chickens ended on September 26, 2013, on Sky Showcase.

It was a comedy series set during 1914, at the start of the Great War. The show followed three young men—Cecil, George, and Bert—who remained in the quiet English village of Rittle-on-Sea while millions went off to fight. Cecil wanted to prove himself as a soldier but was unable to fight due to his flat feet. George was a pacifist teacher who refused to join the war because of his beliefs. Bert, the most clueless of the three, was an unscrupulous liar who had no real reason to avoid enlistment. The series depicted their interactions with local villagers, including Cecil's sister Agnes and George's fiancée Winky, highlighting the community's disapproval of their decision to stay behind.

Chickens was a comedy that aired in 2011 and was set against the backdrop of World War I. The show explored the humorous and sometimes awkward situations faced by the three friends and their neighbors as they navigated their personal beliefs and societal expectations during a tumultuous time. The series captured the small-town atmosphere and the characters' contrasting personalities, providing a humorous perspective on wartime life in England.

The cast included Emerald Fennell as Agnes, Joe Thomas as George, Jonny Sweet as Bert, Sarah Daykin as Winky, and Simon Bird as Cecil. The series had a rating of 6.3 on TVMaze and each episode had a runtime of 30 minutes.
