Liver Birds, TheFirst Aired in 1969 1. Follows the exploits of two young female friends in Liverpool, sharing a flat in Huskisson Street and a keen interest in the opposite sex. 2. Beryl Hennessey (Polly James) shares a flat in Huskisson Street,Liverpool with Dawn (Pauline Collins). When Dawn decides to move on, at the end of the first series, Beryl finds a new flatmate, Sandra Hutchinson (Nerys Hughes). At the end of series 4, Beryl gets married and Carol Boswell (Elizabeth Estensen) takes her place in the flat. The first nine series concentrated on the problems encountered by two young single women when dealing with boyfriends, work, parents and each other. The programme was revived in 1996, with Beryl and Sandra now both coping with the aftermath of failed marriages. There was a strange lapse in continuity which resulted in Carol's mother and brother becoming Beryl's mother and brother. The revival was less than successful and no further programmes were made. ====================== Crew Bill Matthews ………. camera operator Len Newson ………. camera operator John Tiley ………. camera operator Bobi Bartlett ………. costume design Greta Brett ………. costume design Mary Husband ………. costume design Verity Lewis ………. costume design Jane Nagy ………. costume design Christine Rawlins ………. costume design Douglas Argent ………. director Ray Butt ………. director Sydney Lotterby ………. director Angela deChastelai Smith ………. director Pam Bosworth ……….
