Radio Times review

Lord Emsworth is anxious. He suspects there's going to be some sort of "porcine subterfuge from Stinker" and he's right. Sir Gregory plans to hypnotise Empress so she stops eating. But Connie has more pressing concerns, namely some very indiscreet memoirs written by their rakish brother Galahad Threepwood (Julian Rhind-Tutt).

She orders the hapless Freddie to intervene even though, as she tells him, "If brains were dynamite, you couldn't blow the fuzz off a peach." It's the usual entertaining piece of nonsense with everyone hamming it up madly - apart from Empress the pig, who gives a nicely understated performance.
