Footsy has prevented me from starting with Clarkson's Farm yet but as soon as the games are over I'll be all over that one!

And Bosch is only going to get better after the first season I think. So keep on watching.

I plan to. Getting the time to invest is tricky, since my wife isn't into it. I guess she likes her cops to tidy things up in the hour they're given for the episode.

But, yeah, loving Clarkson's Farm.

LOL! With that title it would never get broadcast in the UK. I'm guessing "wog" has a different meaning in Austrailia. It's a derogatory term for a black person in the UK, almost as bad as the N word!

Its more an ethnic slur towards Italians and Greeks here but much like how black Americans call each other the N word the Italians and Greeks can call each other or themselves wog. A lot of younger Aussies that come from an ethnic or migrant background talk like the son in Superwog Lol

So much the same meaning but amongst different groups.

Here’s some context around it and use of the word in Australia

Australia is a strange place where words that shock elsewhere seem to flow like water... and offend like water, as well.

Ok, I understand now. It's still not going to translate well into the UK, and gives a whole new meaning to the Stranglers song I feel like a Wog!

Just started watching Clarkson's Farm. Two episodes in and I have to say it's bloody brilliant! Shows a very different side of Jeremy as well...like that.

I started watching that late last night. Watched about half the first episode but was too tired to finish it. Might start again later!

[Charger]

I can imagine people like me who have lived their entire lives at or around farms will get the most out of it...mainly out of how hard everything looks/is to Jeremy! Like connecting a cultivator to a tractor!

[Zzzptm]

Well worth it. Too bad it does not have a second season in the works.

[Charger]

Jeremy is lobbing it quite hard on Drivetribe and social media so who knows...I'm pretty sure there might be one...but it is also possible ofcourse that The Grand Tour will get ahead of it.

[Zzzptm]

Well, I just left feedback with Amazon that I want another season. Done my bit for the cause, I have!

Just started watching James May - Our Man In Japan (finally) and honestly couldn't stop so I binged 3 episodes in a row! That was fantastic! Can't wait to dive into the final 3!

I just started this show which attracted me by the presence of the sublime Kelly Reilly. Her green eyes and red hair have bewitched me for years. Obviously, Kevin Costner strengthens the cast by his presence as the patriarch of the family and owner of the largest ranch in Montana and desperate to defend his land and his children. Despite a few scenes of animals in pain that annoyed me from the start, I decided to continue watching this tv show. Good acting, good cast, very beautiful staging, several narrative arcs that intersect ... very pleasant to follow once again despite crippled horses, cattle branded with a hot iron, a bison executed with a rifle by an Indian nostalgic for his ancestors, snakes beaten to death or mutilated dogs. I always look for the mention "no animal was treated badly during the shooting."
Anyway, Montana is gorgeous.
