If you liked the Clarkson's Farm show, you might also like Vinnie Jones in the Country (1800 acre farm) on MAX

I've watched a couple of the first episodes, it's good stuff. I only just learned of it today

If you've never heard of Vinnie, that's ok, he's not nearly as famous as other people, but, I've been watching movies with him in the main cast since 1998 when I 1st saw the preview for Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels, when I was in a movie theater in Australia, that was a movie I didn't get to see until after I was back in the USA (after West Pac) 

That movie, LSTSB, was written and directed by Guy Ritchie, who "discovered" Vinnie as a box office draw, and who also had him in the movie Snatch which Brad Pitt was determined to have Guy Ritchie direct, now that HE was impressed with the way Guy makes movies (I've loved all Guy's movies) and Vinnie soon was in demand in Hollywood, and starred with Nic Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds, with Travolta and Hugh Jackman in Swordfish, Hugh must have loved him as he was with him again in Xmen: Last Stand, was in Magnificent 7 remake with Denzel, Pratt, and D'Onofrio, and I think that indicates I'm not putting you on, you'll recognize him I'm certain, and get a kick out of him relaxing around his farm, looking out for the birds, deer, hedgehogs, the restoration of some buildings of the farm, doing some fishing with friends, etc.  Nice easy going background tv while I'm blogging, I can assure you

  1. Coincidence I'm sure - I just rewatched the episode of Top Gear where he was the "star in a reasonably priced car". I think it was the 1st or 2nd episode of the 2004 season. The same one where they brought on May, reviewed the Smart Roadster and torched a Nissan with a jet dragster. I might be blending a couple episodes together, it was late.
