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.

Oyster farming has been banned by the Duchy of Cornwall and the Woodland Trust have created a map of Tree Equity Scores for urban areas....what else could we possibly talk about this week? Expect a non-linear thought from Richard P involving kings and we hear about Richard N's favourite writers and Callum's experience at a sports ball event thing...apparently the blue team won.
