When it comes to espionage, it’s a question of intelligence – unless you’re working for MI5. The service has a cold war calamity of bumbling agents who are outsmarted by the Soviets, and even worse – laughed at by the French! Pigs might fly before MI5 are back with the big boys … but can a piglet restore a little of their lost fortunes?

University teacher Peter Chapman’s (Nicholas Lyndhurst, ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES) routine life is about to become anything but. Spymasters Drummond (Clive Francis) and Maxwell (John Ringham) have their watchful eye on the next James Bond (or at least the man who lives next door to him). When Chapman rejects their offer to do or die for Queen and Country, they arrange a termination … of his employment.

Reluctantly accepting an offer to become the spy who came in from the staff room, Chapman insists on a codename to disguise his secret identity from the real world – and, most importantly, his wife Sarah (Serena Evans). The naming protocols are down to P, and Puma and Panther have just been taken.

Enter Piglet: half James Bond, half computer nerd – all man, with just a little ham.

It’s From Russia With Laughter as Nicholas Lyndhurst employs a very different set of trotters in this comedic take on the shadowy world of double agents and assassins.
