Description: A television play first broadcast by Channel 4 in 1989, 'Nobody Here But Us Chickens' is a trio of entertaining and challenging comedies about people with mental or physical disabilities, emphasising their individuality without patronization. The eponymous first part introduces a man dressed in only his underpants who believes he is a chicken. In 'More Than a Touch of Zen' two men with cerebral palsy attend a judo class.  In 'Not As Bad As They Seem' three blind people inadvertently enter into a bedroom farce as a wife tries to disguise from her husband that she is sleeping with his academic rival.
