[James2001]

Really strange thing on episode 145, towards the end of the episode just before Marie and Michelle's dad comes down after locking himself in the bathroom, what looks like a chicken walks past outside the back door. While it's hard to see exactly what it is thanks to a combination of only being on screen for a second, being in the distance and the not brilliant quality of the filmised and compressed 1980s SD video, it really doesn't look like anything else you'd expect to see in a back garden like a cat or pigeon, and it has the right shape and walks like a chicken. But why there'd be a chicken wandering round suburban Liverpool is a question and a half! There had been chickens on Brookside as the Dixons had some at one point, but their arrival is years away.
