Bird Fancier

on BBC One London

by Mal Middleton
starring Michael Elphick, Rosemary Martin, George Baker and Aaron Brown
There's big money in pigeon racing if you've got a fast flyer, and Joe Desmond's blue-pied hen is a natural winner. But Joe's lucky streak with the birds has gone on a bit too long for the comfort of his competitors. It's time someone else had a turn.
Mal Middleton's comedy was filmed on location in his home town of Sheffield.
