Jeremy Clarkson favourite to host a new series of Top Gear
'There would likely be disappointment if Top Gear did come back and it wasn't Clarkson as the lead presenter. However when the trio left Top Gear, the show did still have some success with Freddie Flintoff, Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris, so it wouldn't be a massive shock for the show to return with a new cast.'

Why do farmers hate Clarkson's Farm so much?
Clarkson's Farm is back – with the finale of season four out on Prime Video today – but not everyone is happy about it. It's not the anti-farming brigade I'm talking about – or even the specific anti-Clarkson brigade, who've disliked him since his Top Gear days. No, it's the people within the rural and farming communities that I'm talking about. When the programme launched, it was heralded by many as something of a miracle for British agriculture. Clarkson's programme showed the people at home all the ups and downs of farming life in its brutal reality: the sheaves of inane paperwork; the incentives to actually not farm at all; the masochism of the British weather and the brutal acceptance that with life, comes death. As farmers always say, 'where there's livestock, there's deadstock', and Clarkson's Farm didn't shy away from showing viewers this truth. It might not all be entirely genuine, but it was far closer to the truth of life in the countryside than the likes of your average Countryfile episode. In fact, author and sheep farmer James Rebanks went so far as to say that Jeremy Clarkson had done more for farmers in one TV series than Countryfile managed in 30 years.

Motorist sets new world record by holding up outside motorway lane for 28 minutes
Satire "What traffic?" bemused Prius driver comments Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Here's roving correspondent, Cory Spondent, with his mostly incorrect exclusives from the world of motoring A motorist has inadvertently set a new world record for the longest time spent holding up traffic on the outside lane of the M1 with a record-breaking 28 minutes. Advertisement - Page continues below The record was set by an oblivious Toyota Prius driver driving at 48mph on an overcast Tuesday morning, with conditions reported by eyewitnesses as rage-inducingly, unnecessarily congested. The new record eclipses the 23.5 minutes set by a 2002 grey Honda Jazz driven by someone who really shouldn't have been. You might like 'Feats like this take lifelong dedication, a commitment to craft, hours spent honing skills and an absolute and total disregard for the norms of highway use,' a world records adjudicator noted. 'How one human being can hog the outside lane at 58mph and be so utterly, wholeheartedly unaware of the surrounding traffic conditions and the snake-like queue forming behind them without even the merest hint of shame or remorse is something we rarely see.

When asked by adjudicators exactly how they managed to break the record, the Prius driver responded with a vacant stare. 'Huh? What traffic? 'I mean it's a bit quiet out today, isn't it?' they added, slightly bemused. 'Sat nav telling me there's loads of congestion on this road but I'm not getting any of it. 'Huh.

The Prius driver came close to breaking a second world record for the longest time spent being sworn at while doing 48mph on the motorway, after being flashed out of the third lane and into the middle lane by an irate SUV driver. 'Huh?' the driver said, with a glazed, emotionless expression.

Jeremy Clarkson bans fan from The Farmer's Dog pub
It comes after fans took online to slam the Clarkson's Farm star for the price of a pie at his new pub, The Farmer's Dog. The pub has been at the centre of the latest series of Clarkson's Farm. As well as the departure of Kaleb Cooper and the arrival of new star Harriet Cowan, Jeremy's bid to open a new pub in the Cotswolds has been the key storyline of the latest batch of episodes. Since opening, The Farmer's Dog has attracted huge crowds. Renovated by Jeremy, along with help from his girlfriend Lisa Hogan. Series 4 of Clarkson's Farm. Who do we like most? Endgame? Or Richard Ham? During the show, Jeremy reformed his collective of local farmers, who he had agreed to help out by buying their produce for his pub along with his own beef, in a bid to make sure everything sold in the pub and Lisa's farm shop could be sourced locally and with British produce while still being an affordable price. But some Clarkson's Farm fans say they have a slightly different view on what is affordable, as they hit out at the £24 asking price for a pie and veg at the new pub. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, user @kalrlk said: "Thought @JeremyClarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much." @devonboy3410 said: "Dead weight for British beef is far too expensive £6.89/kg for R4L down from the record high £6.98/kg earlier in the month. I can't wait till we get US beef cuts here because British beef industry is now taking the p*** at those prices." Recommended reading: Jeremy then replied to tell them: "You are now banned from the pub." Another said to Jeremy: "@grok what would be the price in the UK to buy and raise local cows and how does that translate to the beef pie price of 24 British pounds." Jeremy replied: "Watch the show. It's explained." @cudaplumcrazy said: "Your cows aren't they Jeremy?", to which Clarkson said: "Some are. Most come from other farmers in the area and we pay a premium. We are here to back British farming. If you don't want to do that, fine. Enjoy your chlorine." The first six episodes of Clarkson's Farm 4 are now available on the service, with another two to follow this Friday.
