Stephen Wyatt - Piglaw

When a pig kills a small child in medieval France, legal and religious issues are raised. Stars Tony Robinson.

Who would be foolish enough to put a pig on trial?

Yet the lawyer Lebrun suggests this is the right thing to do when a crime is committed in a small market town in mediaeval France. His proposal leads him and the parish priest, Fr. Bernard, into deeper waters than either of them could have foreseen.

Starring Christian Rodska and Tony Robinson.

Written by Stephen Wyatt.
