Breakout

I insist you view this in large!

Reporter: So you suspect there was a ring leader behind this breakout?

Shepherd: I know there was. It was Harold. He's that most dangerous of animals, a clever sheep. He has realised that a sheep's life consists of standin' around for a few months and then bein' eaten. And that's a depressing prospect for an ambitious sheep. He's patently hit on the idea of escape.

Reporter: Has he tried to escape before?

Shepherd: He's been trying to learn how to fly. But one thing is for sure, the sheep is not a creature of the air. They have enormous difficulty even in the comparatively simple act of perchin'. As for flight, its body is totally unadapted to the problems of aviation.

Reporter: Well why didn't you just get rid of Harold?

Shepherd: Because of the enormous commercial possibilities should he have succeeded. But he's clearly hit on another more practical form of escape. I must say tarra. I've a lot of Ilkley Moor to search to track the little bugg'r down.
