CBBC - Pinky and Perky, You'll Believe a Pig Can Fly

Pinky wants to be like Powerpig, the daring cartoon hero he created.

3D animated comedy. Pinky wants to be like Powerpig, the daring cartoon hero he created. Sir Percival hires a movie star to play Powerpig on the show.

3D CGI animated comedy series for six-to-11-year-olds with two piggy brothers causing havoc in TV land. Pinky and Perky are a pair of piglets who have just been given their big break in showbiz: their own live children's television show full of crazy stunts, mad games, wild cartoons and top celebrity guests. 

Their show is loud, messy, funny and frequently out of control, which makes it very unpopular with the old guard of the TV station. One way or another, they're going to get those pesky pigs off the air! 

When the boss hires an actor to play Powerpig, Pinky finds himself upstaged by his own cartoons. Pinky decides he wants to be more adventurous like Powerpig, the daring cartoon hero he created to appear alongside cartoon sidekick Porker. 

Coincidentally, Pinky and Perky arrive at work to discover that Sir Percival has hired top Hollywood movie star Grunt Warthog to play the part of Powerpig on the live show. Everyone at PPCTV is starstruck by this charismatic hunk and Pinky and Perky do their best to wow him. 

However, Grunt's glamorous image belies his not so lovely personality and it's not long before his true colours are revealed. When the show goes live, Wilberforce's latest invention goes madly out of control, exposing Grunt as a coward and showing Pinky to be the true hero of the day when he rescues Perky from a potentially disastrous situation!
