The Legend of the Tamworth Two
Not wanting to become just another roast dinner, two Tamworth pigs escaped from a slaughterhouse in January 1998. Butch and Sundance, as they were christened by an over-excited media, became international folk-heroes as they avoided capture for over a week. Their bacon was eventually saved by British tabloid The Daily Mail, who sent them to an animal sanctuary. This is their legendary true story. Darren Boyd, Emma Pierson, Gerard Horan and Chris Langham star in this BBC television production - and be warned these 'real-life' pigs talk!
