One year in Heddington, Wiltshire. A documentary serial in eight parts. 4: Of Buses and Bacon, Cottages and Cows
Pigs are very important to Heddington. There are jobs on local pig farms, and at the pork pie and bacon factory in Calne four miles away.
Further afield, in Chippenham, the Wiltshire Planning Committee are debating an issue that could change the character and appearance of the village. A builder wants to build 19 executive dwellings on the Old Rectory site.
Meanwhile there is bad - potentially catastrophic - news for Harry and Duffy Brown. The Ministry vet has tested their herd for TB, and some of the cows have failed the test. It means the slaughterhouse for them, and if the disease spreads, ruin for the Browns. Narrator DAVID PRITCHARD
