Vinnie Jones Rejects Clarkson’s Farm Comparisons as Third Series of In The Country Airs

He casts the Discovery+ series as an 'in‑the‑country' portrait without an agenda.

Overview

  • The third series focuses on countryside life rather than farming, with Jones describing it as a show 'without an agenda' on Discovery+.
  • Jones calls frequent comparisons to Jeremy Clarkson’s Prime Video hit 'upsetting,' while crediting Clarkson for raising awareness for farmers.
  • Conversations about grief, mental health and male friendship emerged on screen after his wife Tanya’s death in 2019 and the pandemic.
  • Jones, who marks 12 years of sobriety in April, says the show aims to reveal his real interests on his 2,000‑acre West Sussex estate.
  • The future of the series is undecided, with Jones hinting three seasons may be enough as he films a lake‑house segment, and he is confirmed for Guy Ritchie’s Viva la Madness.
