A hilarious new series from Australia's favourite comedian, Peter Helliar, about Galileo – a horse with talent for solving crimes.


Galileo's brand-new detective agency on Happy Valley Farm is now in business, and with the help of Agatha they've got eyes, ears and wings all across the farm ... now, if only they could find a case to solve!

Meanwhile, with the Happy Valley Fair right around the corner all the animals pitch in to try and break the record for the World's Biggest Cake. All the animals except for the elusive Dogfather and his farm dogs, that is.

When the milk and eggs on the farm go missing, Galileo is on the case and is determined to find any animals sniffing around where they don't belong.
