Self - Former International Sales HandMade Films: [referring to "A Private Function"] It was very hard working with the pig because he'd be brought onto the set and at some stage it would defecate, usually just before the take. So, you'd have to get everyone out to clean the carpet. And, there was a young lad who was at the film location every morning, saying, "I'd love to get into films. Any chance of me getting into films?" "Oh, no, no, no, no." And then, somebody said, "By the way, actually, there's something you could do." And they gave him a bucket and said, "When you're on the set, when the pig comes on, as soon as you see anything appear from the pig's backside, get the bucket under there." And he did! And, because of the predictability of pig's bowel movements, he could do that. It saved us an awful lot of time. And, he's the only person I think on any credits anywhere who's just been given the credit of: Bucket Boy

on a very dark corner of British history
00:00:03.738 --> 00:00:06.741
So it had a real dark comedy feel to it
00:00:06.774 --> 00:00:09.711
You got something we want
00:00:11.845 --> 00:00:15.849
Something that belongs to us
00:00:17.817 --> 00:00:21.079
Something with four legs
00:00:22.089 --> 00:00:27.895
and a little curly tail
00:00:28.495 --> 00:00:30.001
There were three pigs
00:00:30.064 --> 00:00:31.899
because they were all supposed to have different
00:00:33.533 --> 00:00:36.503
They were all supposed to have different talents you know
00:00:36.537 --> 00:00:38.473
One could sing one could dance
00:00:38.506 --> 00:00:40.141
the other one
00:00:40.174 --> 00:00:41.209
Well I mean this is how it was put to us really
00:00:41.241 --> 00:00:42.477
by the trainers
00:00:42.509 --> 00:00:44.003
In fact only one of them could act
00:00:44.111 --> 00:00:45.446
to any standard at all
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.281
The other two were completely hopeless
00:00:47.314 --> 00:00:48.085
It was very hard working with the pig
00:00:48.883 --> 00:00:50.551
because it would be brought onto the set
00:00:50.584 --> 00:00:52.553
and at some stage it would defecate
00:00:52.586 --> 00:00:54.003
usually just before the take
00:00:54.997 --> 00:00:55.555
so we'd have to get everyone out
00:00:55.589 --> 00:00:58.226
clean the carpet and there was a young lad
00:00:58.258 --> 00:01:01.394
who was at the film location every morning
00:01:01.428 --> 00:01:03.131
saying I'd love to get into films
00:01:03.163 --> 00:01:04.765
Any chance of me getting into films
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:05.533
And No no no no
00:01:05.566 --> 00:01:07.134
And then somebody said
00:01:07.167 --> 00:01:09.001
Oh by the way actually there is something you can do
00:01:09.303 --> 00:01:11.571
And they gave him a bucket and said
00:01:11.604 --> 00:01:13.044
When you're on the set the pig comes on
00:01:13.473 --> 00:01:16.209
as soon as you see anything appear
00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:19.005
from the pig's backside get the bucket under there
00:01:19.006 --> 00:01:21.001
And he did and because of the predictability
00:01:21.999 --> 00:01:24.001
of the pig's bowel movements he could do that
00:01:24.999 --> 00:01:26.821
It saved us an awful lot of time
00:01:26.854 --> 00:01:28.999
and he's the only person I think
00:01:28.221 --> 00:01:29.999
on any credits anywhere
00:01:29.001 --> 00:01:32.292
who's just been given the credit of Bucket Boy
