Year of the Pig is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Plot The Sixth Doctor and Peri, vacationing at the Hotel Palace Thermae in 1913 Ostend, encounter several mysterious guests: the eccentric Miss Alice Bultitude, the colourful Inspector Alphonse Chardalot and, last but not least, Toby the Sapient Pig. What is Toby's secret? What is the connection between the well-dressed pig and the celebrated Parisian inspector? What does Miss Bultitude know? And are there any more of those truffles left?
