Produktbeschreibung

EPISODE 1 IN A MAJOR BBC DRAMA STARRING TIMOTHY SPALL, DAVID WALLIAMS AND JENNIFER SAUNDERS

Clarence has to get his pig eating again or lose the fat-pig prize to his arch nemesis.

Lord Clarence Emsworth's pride and joy, the prize-winning pig Empress of Blandings refuses to eat when Cyril the pig-man is jailed by Clarence's conniving rival Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe.

With the prize's weigh-in only two-weeks away, Clarence and his gambling, spendthrift son Freddie are desperate to get the Empress to eat.

Meanwhile, Clarence's sister Connie attempts to thwart her niece Angela's love affair with ex-cowboy Jimmy and instead find her a more eminent match in the smarmy Heacham - Sir Gregory's nephew!
