Clarkson Farm fans 'hooked within minutes' as they watch similar hit show
After eight gripping episodes, Clarkson's Farm season four has wrapped up, showcasing Jeremy Clarkson's tumultuous journey as he endeavoured to launch his pub, The Farmer's Dog.
The popular Prime Video series is set to conclude after its fifth season, with Jeremy announcing the end of the show, citing the cast and crew's fatigue from the intense filming schedule.
As fans await season five, they're on the lookout for similar entertainment to fill the gap, with Vinnie Jones in the Country emerging as a top pick.
Available on Discovery Plus, the series follows the adventures of actor and ex-footballer Vinnie Jones as he tackles 2,000 acres of West Sussex countryside, embarking on overly ambitious farming projects.
The show debuted in November 2023 and has already delighted viewers with two seasons, reports Gloucestershire Live.
Fans have confessed to binge-watching the series, with Nik Anderson commenting: "Hi Vinnie, I was a bit unsure of what I was going to experience watching your life in the country series. I was expecting 'Oh crash bang wallop alright geezer?'".
Anderson continued, expressing his unexpected captivation: "To my surprise and my sheer ignorance I was hooked in minutes! There was so many things I took from your series and try implement them into my life!
"I too have had tragic experiences and trauma in my life as most of us have, but some of us more than others. You deal with things admirably."
Jan Casper also shared her enthusiasm on Google Reviews: "Thoroughly enjoyed watching all the episodes, binge watched over Christmas.
"Vinnie is a man who appreciates nature and conservation of his beautiful farm buildings and his surroundings. You can see his vision is genuine and from the heart.
"It has been lovely to see that everyone who works with him has that passion too. Can't wait for season three."
The series touches on some tough topics, especially after the loss of Vinnie's wife Tanya in 2019 due to a prolonged illness.
Vinnie has opened up about how both he and his late wife were diagnosed with skin cancer.
Prime Video has given the series a glowing four out of five stars, while it boasts an impressive IMDb rating of 7.9.
In its first season, audiences watched as Vinnie and his kin constructed, connected, and quipped their way through life, all while eyeing the future prospects of their estate.
Viewers witnessed them introducing new conservation approaches, reviving species, and creating habitats to entice novel wildlife.

Pamela Anderson breaks silence on Meghan Markle's 'rip off' show
Pamela Anderson has finally spoken out on viral claims Meghan Markle 'ripped off' her cooking show with Netflix series , With Love, Meghan. Fans of the Baywatch bombshell, 58, were left incensed when the former working Royal, 44, debuted her latest TV venture - which bore eerie similarities to Pamela's Cooking With Love, which premiered earlier this year on Prime Video. The Baywatch star Anderson opened up on Sunday's Watch What Happens Live! - with host Andy Cohen asking her: 'On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking with Love?' Anderson, who was appearing alongside new love and co-star Liam Neeson responded: 'One. I didn't - I didn't really look, but I mean, I didn't invent cooking shows' adding that Markle 'is just doing her thing.' The drama erupted when Prince Harry 's wife gave People magazine some of her top domestic tips ahead of the release of With Love, Meghan, in March. These included how to 'elevate' a normal dinner – such as after ordering a takeaway, for example. Citing Chinese as a favorite delivery option, Markle told the US magazine: 'I like being able to do a hybrid, but even when I get a takeout I will try to plate it beautifully.' And discussing her new trademark As Ever – after she failed to secure copyright branding for her original name, American Riviera Orchard – she insisted: 'It's a learning curve. 'I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also be forgiving with myself through that.' The two former TV stars live more than a thousand miles apart, yet both were smiling and giggling in brightly lit country kitchens, filming aspirational cooking with photogenic friends and famous celebrities. Both are seen carrying wicker baskets of fruit and vegetables picked from their gardens, dancing with joy, and gleefully high-fiving their celebrity guests. Both series are even the same length: eight episodes. When Meghan's first episode was shown, it prompted withering complaints that she had copied Pamela's winning formula. 'So similar it's freaky,' said one reviewer, while others branded Meghan's series 'inauthentic' and 'copycat'. More charitable observers might put this down to coincidence, as neither show seems to deviate from the wholesome template of many an aspirational cookery program. However, while Markle filmed her series last summer, with the first trailer making its debut in January, Anderson's was commissioned back in February 2023 by Canadian broadcaster Flavour Network. And its trailer has been available for all to see since last October. Last month it was claimed Markle and Prince Harry's hopes of a new Netflix deal are 'dead' after their two most recent shows flopped. Meghan's lifestyle show failed to break into Netflix 's top 300 programs for the first half of 2025 and was even thrashed by multiple seasons of Suits. A second season of With Love, Meghan, was announced by the Duchess herself as the first season came out in March this year as part of the couple's $100million deal with the streaming giant, which expires this year.

‘Best period drama' hailed ‘alternative Austen' leaves fan vowing to ‘watch series always'
The period drama has remained well-loved to this day A cherished BBC period drama based on a collection of timeless novels is now available to stream without charge. This lavish costume production follows closely behind a "sublime" series that audiences have relished and a series Pride and Prejudice fans will love, reports the Manchester Evening News. Audiences have previously praised the show on IMDb, with one viewer headlining their 10/10 review: "Splendid, best of the best" and continuing to say: "This was Austen, Dickens and a bit of George Eliot all together and then some. The bad people not quite as cruel as Dickens. Class System naturally present but not as pronounced and little to none of who has how many thousand pounds and the need for dowries as in Jane Austen." They continued: "There is laughter, joy, tragedy, misunderstanding, partings, reunions, love, gained, lost, unrequited. "What makes this a tour de force is the Cast. Every performance exceptional beyond words, Jewels both from the women and the men. So many from the treasure chest of British thespians female and male." Another viewer gushed in their 10/10 review: "What is so satisfying about British productions of 19th century authors is that there is inevitably an ensemble cast of outstanding actors." "They all work together from minor to major roles without letting ego or grandstanding overwhelm the story." Meanwhile, a third person entitled their review: "Elizabeth Gaskill [sic]... The Alternative Austen." They shared: "Actually, I was just grateful that anyone was paying attention to Elizabeth Gaskill [sic] in the first place. "No doubt there are those of us who adore Jane Austen but she always gets all the attention in movies and TV, what with the oodles of remakes and re releases and her immense popularity. But Gaskill [sic] is just down right hilarious to hurray for the old new comer!" They added: "There's a wealth of material here and the BBC put a lot of effort and time into making this a worthwhile production." Another viewer penned: "Absolutely Excellent - from buttermilk to boots. There is much to love about this series. I have watched it so many times!". "I adore the entire cast, the sets, the little village of Cranford, all of the story arcs! I will continue to watch this series always! Imelda is AMAZING!". Another smitten fan gave another 10/10 review and titled their review: "Please Mum, Could We Have More Cranford?". The user said: "We just sat down with our (first of many, hopefully) annual viewing of the entire Cranford cycle, and it has won an honored [sic] place in our collection of powerful, and sweet, stories of strong and loving people, in communities of both tradition and change." Cranford first aired on the BBC in 2007 as a five-part series with only one series. The period drama was based on the celebrated works of author Elizabeth Gaskell, specifically her three novellas Cranford, My Lady Ludlow and Mr Harrison's Confessions, which were published between 1849 and 1858. Gaskell, often likened to Jane Austen, is equally adored, with fans clamouring for more episodes of Cranford. The series was brought to the small screen by Call The Midwife writer Heidi Thomas, who also took inspiration from Gaskell's non-fiction piece The Last Generation in England. Cranford delved into the lives of the women living in a fictional village in Cheshire during the 1840s, documenting their triumphs and tribulations. The programme boasted an impressive cast, featuring Dame Judi Dench, Imelda Staunton, Dame Eileen Atkins, Julia McKenzie, Barbara Flynn, and Deborah Findlay. Additional cast members included Downton Abbey's Jim Carter, Father Brown's Claudie Blakley, Harry Potter's Sir Michael Gambon, Philip Glenister, Calendar Girls actress Celia Imrie, Alex Jennings of The Crown fame, Rory Kinnear from Years and Years, Alistair Petrie from Sex Education, Pride and Prejudice (2005) actor Simon Woods, and Sense and Sensibility star Greg Wise, among many others. Indeed, the extensive cast assembled stars from a vast array of other period TV productions, serving as a veritable who's who of British costume drama.
