The Inbetweeners spin-off filmed in Finchingfield, Essex is the 2013 comedy series Chickens. It was written by and starred Inbetweeners actors Simon Bird and Joe Thomas alongside Jonny Sweet. The six-episode Sky1 sitcom follows three young men in 1914 who stay behind in a sleepy English village while the Great War rages. Because they did not fight, they are treated as social outcasts and cowards. Finchingfield’s historic village green and bridge served as the backdrop for the show, bringing in local women to star as extras. You can find episode listings on IMDb.
