Anarchic wit and inventiveness are shaken (not stirred!) to perfection in Steve Cole’s latest series, “Cows in Action”. A herd of agents and adversaries play out the action and adventures from the base of a time-travelling cowshed, invented by the bullishly brilliant Professor McMoo.
This first story sees the cattle careering back to Tudor times where they must foil the Ter-moo-nator’s attempts to install a cow-counterpart in place of Henry VIII’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleaves.
Milking the thrills of time-travel alongside the spills of a history, plotted to have gone somewhat awry, this series presents bovines at their brilliant best kowtowing to none and to nothing.
