The Liver Birds
*The Liver Birds* is a British sitcom set in Liverpool, in the north-west of England, which aired on BBC1 from 1969 to 1978, and again in 1996. It was created by Carla Lane and Myra Taylor, two Liverpudlian writers who had met at a local writers' club and decided to collaborate. They were invited to London by Michael Mills, who asked them to write about two young women sharing a flat. Mills brought in sitcom expert Sydney Lotterby to work with the writing team. Lotterby had previously worked with Eric Sykes, Sheila Hancock, and on *The Likely Lads*. Carla Lane wrote most of the episodes, with Taylor co-writing only the first two series. The pilot was shown as an episode of *Comedy Playhouse*, the BBC's breeding ground for sitcoms, in April 1969.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
