    If only you knew. That pig was enormously expensive - there are in fact two pigs used in the series (one is a stunt double obviously) and they have slightly different eyes.

    You won't believe how much the production company paid to get them made !!!!!

    So, not really a case of "Do I need it, can I afford, can I get it cheaper elsewhere". More, just forget it they are mind bogglingly expensive. :eek:

    3 or 4 figure sum, more?

    Saw this website for piggy banks, perhaps they had it made through these guys.

    Yes i wouldnt mind a few of Martins moneysaving £s. I know i couldnt spend it but if i pulled it out of my purse when i go shopping it may make me think twice (or even three times before i overspend):o

    I'm gobsmacked! What an obscene waste of money. Don't tell me the producers couldn't have come up with a cheaper alternative?!

    Not Martin's problem I know, or anything to do with him......but surely the irony and hypocracy, (of this type of spend) on a money saving show is glaringly obvious?

    Maybe he should make the producers have a financial makeover sharpish.
