Early Birds

PQA Venues @ Riddle’s Court, Edinburgh, until Aug 27 (excl 8, 15, 22) at 6pm

“Comedy in the ’80s and ’90s had a more important share of the TV money.

“We felt by the end of the century we had done most of what we wanted to do in TV, so we started doing stage and radio work, before we were tempted back to TV.

“We’re currently developing two or three projects and hope to get one of those on Netflix.”

But the Birds Of A Feather story isn’t over yet.

“We’re talking to ITV and, hopefully, there will be a new series to mark the 30th anniversary next year,” Maurice added.

“We also feel there is potential to do more with Early Birds. A longer version could tour around theatres plus there are a lot of TV execs in Edinburgh at this time of year, so who knows what might happen.”
