Jeremy Clarkson did a thing! The title may not sound like these topics are entirely related....although what a segue! Amongst the big topics of what went wrong with FarmFest and who won the Big Farmland Bird Count (in Negus' mind) Prideaux, Negus and McInerney Riley cover off topics as far ranging as weasel taming, mouse attacks, portrait photography and wedding anniversaries.
