The movie comes out May 8th, but sadly it is not about a man hired to find out why sheep are dying.
But wouldn’t that be a fun series?
The fox was blamed, but it was actually dystocia. The badger is blamed, but in fact the sheep tipped onto its back in a ditch and drowned. A rustler is suspected, but it’s just bad fencing. A Big Cat scare sweeps the countryside, but it’s just Rory’s lurcher who disappeared two months earlier. A field of 20 dead sheep is a riddle, but it turns out not to be lightning, but selenium poisoning caused by a jackleg country vet mixing supplements wrong. I could write 50 of these, all with colorful local paranoids, poofs, and popinjays mixed in with doddering grannies, caravan-living travelers, hunters in new clothes, and tattooed and pierced sabs chasing each others tails. A countryside comedy detective show with Nigel Throckmorton Jones — the only consulting Sheep Detective in the world — at its center.
