"In London's bustling Trafalgar Square, a hungry corpse meets a pigeon with a broken wing."

A short tale, written by James Pout, set in London's bustling yet desolate Trafalgar Square about a rather hungry corpse and a pigeon. Voiced by Bill Nighy and Stephen Mangan, The Hungry Corpse was produced as part of Collabor8te, a short-film funding scheme initiated by Rankin.
