Play :: "Mad cow disease, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. I mean who thinks these names up? I prefer Mad Cow, at least you can still say it when you're pissed". Despite their bickering stage double act on the Leeds pub circuit, Mike and his seventeen year old daughter Becky are close. She pretends not to laugh at his jokes, he pretends not to encourage her singing career, they nick each other's fags and moan about their non-existent love lives. Then Becky's behaviour starts to become very unusual. It is the story of a very British family and a very British political cover-up. Age guidance 14+.
