Watched 'The Liver Birds' documentary on Saturday, a sitcom I've never seen. Does anybody know why the shows co-writer Myra Taylor leave after so many series and does anybody know what Taylor is doing now?
She left because she missed her family. (Who still lived in Liverpool whilst she was in London writing and recording the show for x-months of the year.)

I was going to answer that because it was mentioned.
And do you mean you really never saw it? It was better than those ITV sitcoms.
Elizabeth Estensen is of course in Emmerdale as the Woolpack landlady practically every night. A naturally funny woman.

Jack's only a few years older than me, IIRC. No chance he could have seen it. And as only one series, AFAIK, has been released on DVD, he would have only seen a very limited amount anyway.

Really? I thought by his tastes that he was older than me!

God, this thread makes me feel ancient. I can remember The Liver Birds vividly, though it was never the same after Polly James left. This, and later Butterflies, were really exciting, groundbreaking stuff.

The first i'd ever, ever heard of The Liver Birds was in a brief segment on a BBC4 documentary. Odd seeing as how obviously important it was. I guess UKTV Gold didn't think it aged well enough to repeat.
I saw the Comedy Connections episode, though. Loved the rabbit sleeve joke, and the porn magazine. Clever stuff.
One day I'll update this website... Oh wait, I just did. |

It was on UK Gold in the 90s, IIRC. And Paramount 2 have been showing it recently.

They don't repeat anything except about 6 shows anymore.
