    I like the bit when they struggled to move the pig around. It is a shame that they have to kill the pig.

    Explores the problematic relationship between the English and their food.

    Superb acting, writing and characters. It's darkly sweet and funny - if that combination can exist! If it isn't always realistic, then it is always deeply human. Really, I'm not sure if I'd want to live in a world without Alan Bennett!

    Pretty bizarre, and boo the ending with the pig!
