The Hour of the Pig (Selected Scenes) - The Medieval Trial of a Pig

Extract from 'The Hour of the Pig' (1993), directed by Leslie Megahey, casting Colin Firth (Bridget Jones's Diary, 2001; Love Actually, 2003; Mamma Mia, 2008; The King's Speech, 2010; Kingsman: The Secret Service, 2014) and Jim Carter (Shakespeare in Love, 1998; Downton Abbey, 2010-2015).

The Houf of the Pig, to be clear, gets everything wrong about the Middle Ages and the 15th century, France. It is wildly entertaining though and it is actually based, however very creatively, on recorded facts.
