Peter Davison stars as bespectacled, aristocratic private detective Albert Campion in this two-part adaptation of Margery Allinghams novel The Case of the Late Pig. The title character is Roland Isidore Pig Peters (Mike Charles), a lifelong bully who had been Campions principal tormentor during his school days in the early 1900s. Although Campion would just as soon never see Peters again, he accepts a curiously poetic invitation to Pigs funeral. Three months later, a former girlfriend of Campion asks him to solve a recent murder -- and the victim is none other than Pig Peters, who apparently has died twice! Ingredients essential to the story include the wrong body (and wrong species) in Peters coffin, a shady information peddler (played by Michael Gough, better known as Alfred the butler in the Batman theatrical films), and a handful of ice cubes. In America, The Case of the Late Pig was telecast October 12 and 19, 1989, as the first Campion story to appear on the PBS anthology Mystery! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
