Piglets review
It has its moments, but there is something about Piglets that doesn't quite work. It certainly feels odd on ITV1 back to back with the more conventional Alan Carr vehicle Changing Ends. If there are any complaints about it though they should be that it's not funny rather than that it's offensive.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 23rd July 2024Piglets creators respond after police complain about sitcom's title
"It's not a documentary. It's not a satire on the police."
James Hibbs, Radio Times, 22nd July 2024Piglets review
Police sitcom swerves politics but isn't a patch on Police Academy.
Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 21st July 2024Piglets review
They may have had to go back 20 years to get the old writing team back together again, but ITV deserves to have a hit on its hands with Piglets.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th July 2024Piglets review
Lock up this criminal 'comedy' and throw away the key.
Vicki Gessop, Evening Standard, 20th July 2024Piglets review
This comedy is so weak you wonder why the police bothered to complain about it.
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 20th July 2024Piglets review
The police needn't have got upset over the title - this unfunny show is harmless.
Nick Hilton, The Independent, 20th July 2024Piglets review
This is Green Wing for cops. Weird, funny and filthy.
Ben Dowell, The Times, 20th July 2024Piglets 'hit with Ofcom complaints already' as viewers 'concerned'
ITV aired its new controversial comedy Piglets which already had some people riled up, dubbing it as "inflammatory" and "insulting" - and now viewers have shared their thoughts.
