Press
There is no series quite as new being promoted in "The Liver Birds," the delightfully dotty new comedy series on BBC1, with Pauline Collins and Polly James as the "birds." There are the occasional banal lines - no scriptwriter can be funny all the time - but on the whole this is a refreshingly funny and uncontrived series
