Flying Pig Productions
Welcome
Welcome, one and all to Flying Pig Productions’ website.
Here you will find a cornucopia of information and related thingamybobs and hoojimaflips about the finest comedy sketch team in the sunny and cosmopolitan metropolis of Aberdeen, Scotland.
So wondrous are the achievements of our web designer (that's a real job you know, for grown ups. Amazing. When I was a boy they called them "spiders") that the whole thing really speaks for itself.
So join us, and explore the world of Archie & Davie, Mither & Faither, Fester & Rott, Maurice The Liar, Pishy Pishy Watson and others too numerous to mention.
Samples
One side effect of our radio shows is that two of our sketches (that we know of) have been downloaded, emailed round the world and are now posted on youtube. We cant condone this blatant piracy, but then again, it does save us the bother.

Headlines
TV Pilot
We're delighted (and a little bit feart) to be reporting that a half hour TV pilot of "Desperate Fishwives" is in development with the BBC. It'll be a combination of much loved stuff from the back catalogue but predominantly material specially written for the goggle-box. Recording is planned for spring 2010, and the hope is that some of the show will be filmed on location in Aberdeenshire's fashionable 'back of beyond'.
