Everyone’s talking about… Clarkson doing Countryfile?

Controversial presenter Jeremy Clarkson is reportedly plotting his return to television in a Top Gear-esque show about farming. The presenter is said to be thinking about pitching various ideas at the moment, but this one seems to be top of the pile.

It’s about trying to run a farm when you don’t know anything about farming, and… getting things wrong, in a Top Gear-esque way.

Clarkson previously tried to get the project off the ground in 2012.

Elsewhere, a decision on Clarkson’s fate as presenter of Top Gear is expected imminently. Eek. (The Independent)
