Witches, pigs, and thick midlands accents: in this episode we’re discussing Murran, the 1975 teleplay by Nigel Kneale.
When vet Critch arrives at the Bealey farm to treat a mysterious illness in a group of pigs, he’s surprised to discover a growing conspiracy in the village, centered around a suspected witch, Clemson.
For this discussion, I’m excited to be joined by Daniel Kokotajlo, director of Apostasy and the upcoming folk horror film Starve Acre with Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark. Dan knows his folk horror really well and has some fascinating insights on how this inspired Starve Acre, so hope you enjoy listening.
