James Moore: A track record worth taking to the movies

Outlook What on earth has Peppa Pig, a fun loving porker with a predilection for lots of mud, got to do with the notorious film director Quentin Tarantino, who has a predilection for spattering his films with lots of blood? And guts and gore and bad language.
