The series, which will be made up of six parts, is called Piglets, and will focus on six new recruits at a fictional police training college.<\/p>\n
The synopsis for the show says: \u201cThe government\u2019s stated policy of recruiting 20,000 new police officers in double quick time has not come at the cost of lowering standards. Or has it?<\/p>\n
\u201cSet in a fictional police training college, Piglets is about a newly recruited group of six very different would-be cops and the handful of key staff whose thankless task it is to knock them into some kind of shape.\u201d<\/p>\n
