Tamworth Two
Dreharbeiten für The Legend of the Tamworth Two der BBC (2003)

Die Tamworth Two (1997–8. Oktober 2010 und 1997–23. Mai 2011) waren zwei Schweine, die Ende der 1990er Jahre in England berühmt wurden. Sie entkamen von einem Transporter, der sie im Januar 1998 in Malmsbury, Wiltshire zum Schlachter fahren sollte. Die beiden Tamworth-Schweine, die später von den Medien Butch und Sundance genannt wurden, befanden sich etwas mehr als eine Woche lang auf der Flucht und erregten in dieser Zeit großes öffentliches Interesse in Großbritannien sowie international.
