This article is about Canadian television series. For the restaurant in Hollywood, see Pig 'n Whistle. For the nickname for the Philadelphia-area interurban, see Philadelphia and Western Railroad.
One of CTV's most popular programs of its day, The Pig and Whistle drew ratings of over a million viewers in the early 1970s.[1] The programme was hosted by John Hewer and featured the music of the Carlton Showband, a Canadian-Irish musical group. Scottish singer and entertainer Stan Kane was often featured.[2]
The programme's title is derived from one of the names of a traditional English public house, whose meaning in turn remains somewhat speculative.[3]
