  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Martin Gurdon, accompanied by his pet Buff Sussex hen Peeping Chicken, sets out in his 1951 Bristol car on a whirlwind publicity tour for his book, "Hen and the Art of Chicken Maintenance". His travels take him the length and breadth of the country, from an encounter with a bemused Natasha Kaplinsky in the BBC Breakfast news studio to a John Gielgud impersonator at the Edinburgh festival, via a night in the company of an affable but gun-toting B&B owner and a run-in with chicken-expert inmate at Ford Open Prison. "Travels with My Chicken" is an enjoyable ride with the most entertaining of travel companions, the chicken, and is a must-have for any hen enthusiast.
