Episode 3: Pig

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC ThreeLatest broadcast: on BBC Three

From the sheep parts hidden in your soap to the fishy ingredient in your favourite pint, though you probably don't know it, the bits of the animals we don't eat for dinner often end up being made into the products we use everyday.

Julia Bradbury goes on an eye-opening journey to find out how. She is joined by the young consumers who use these products, from a pair of fashionistas to a fitness fan, to uncover the surprising animal origins of our most popular items by following the transformation of each leftover body part all the way from the abattoir to the shop floor.

In this programme, Julia discovers how the humble pig can provide everything from shoes and hairbrushes to sweets and vital medical parts. Show less
