Synopsis

Meet Boris, Morris, Horace and Doris, four rude, smelly, bad tempered boars. Never, ever let them into your home - Horace will soak in the toilet for hours, he'll eat your soap, clip his toenail in bed and be rude to your pets! As for Doris, she has never been good, not for one single second, not once, not ever! - you have been warned. This is a tale of truly terrible manners with a very clear message - there is no such thing as a nice wild boar!
