I’M GUTTED to have to tell you that CHICKENS (9.30pm, Sky1) isn’t very good.

Set during World War One, in which the three key characters manage, for various convenient reasons, to play no active part, this new sitcom stars Simon Bird, Joe Thomas (both from The Inbetweeners) and Jonny Sweet.

They also wrote it, which is why the gags have a familiar ring to them, but the style of comedy that’s worked so well elsewhere just doesn’t seem to click in this context.
