Is Jeremy Clarkson swapping Top Gear for Top Beer? The petrolhead turned farmer is said to be negotiating to buy a tavern in the Cotswolds, writes RICHARD EDEN


He has helped transform views of agriculture with his hit television show Clarkson's Farm. Could Jeremy Clarkson now be about to do the same for the beleaguered pub trade?

Since Amazon Prime started broadcasting Clarkson's Farm, about his efforts at Diddly Squat, the shop has become hugely popular with visiting fans, but less so with some neighbours who complain about the increase in traffic. Joely Richardson, who was married to Hollywood producer Tim Bevan and whose other exes include TV presenter Jamie Theakston and fellow thespian Sir Kenneth Branagh, says it's her close female friends who have 'carried' her through life. But he has been urged to keep gaps in his fence as a 'hedgehog highway' so the animals can carry on their daily mile-long forage for food, and to build a hedgehog nesting box and bee hives to boost biodiversity.
