Pig Trouble is the twenty-sixth episode of Series 2 of Shaun the Sheep.
Synopsis[]
When Bitzer accidentally injures his foot and can't work, the Farmer chooses the pigs to take over his role. The power crazy pigs take the opportunity to turn the farm into a porky paradise – at the sheep's expense. Bitzer tries in vain to warn his master what is going on behind his back, but it is Shaun who steps in and restores the status quo ante.
Plot[]
The episode opens as Bitzer and the Farmer lifts a broken TV out of the house. All of a sudden, the Farmer was hit by a rake for not looking behind, the TV falls and Bitzer injured his foot. In order to stop the injury, he took Bitzer to the nearest veterinary clinic. At the veterinary clinic, the doctor wraps Bitzer's injured foot with bandage, leaving an annoyed Bitzer trying to take that off, but the doctor bans him from doing so. After returning home from the clinic, Bitzer wears a cone of shame around his head and a stick to make him walk, making the pigs jealous of him by laughing. Back upstairs, the Farmer gives Bitzer a comic book to read, but he is unable to read it properly due to the cone of shame on his head. As the farmer leaves, he hires one of the pigs to be in charge while he's away, much to the pig's agreement. Once time goes by, the pigs are relaxing by the pool and Bitzer tries to confront the pigs at the pool, but the Farmer won't believe him. He was forced to re-enter the house until the pigs torture Bitzer by putting trash inside his cone of shame and throwing him out the window. In the meantime, the trio are filming videos of hip-hop outfits and fighting each other until Shaun gets the video camera, scampers to the nearest TV store, plugs the camera into the TV and videos of the pigs are shown making chaos in the house, leaving behind an angry Farmer. He rushed back to his 4x4 truck, drives off and returns home. Only to be aware that the living room is in a terrible mess, an angry farmer confiscates the whistle and blast the pigs out of the house. And thus, he also pulls the cone of shame off Bitzer's head and he's back in charge again. The episode ends as the three pigs help Bitzer and Shaun relax next to the pool.
