ITV comedy Piglets hit with Ofcom complaints as 'disrespectful' content sparks 'concern'

ITV's new comedy Piglets has been hit with Ofcom complaints. (Image: ITV) ITV's new comedy, Piglets, has sparked 106 Ofcom complaints alleging that the programme’s title and content were disrespectful to the police force. The show, which first aired on Saturday, follows a group of recruits at a police academy and the officers tasked with whipping them into shape.

It stars Sarah Parish as Superintendent Julie Spry and Friday Night Dinner star Mark Heap as her bumbling deputy Bob Weekes. The series premiered to mixed reactions and the Police Federation slammed the show for its name and content, branding it "inflammatory" and "insulting". Tiffany Lynch, Acting National Chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, told MailOnline last week: "The new ITV show titled 'Piglets' is highly offensive to police officers risking their lives to protect the public every day providing an emergency service.
