Richard Hammond is bored.

The Top Gear star has quite a lot of time on his hands since the rest of the last series was cancelled following a "fracas" between Jeremy Clarkson and a producer.

His latest project showcases his new, lazy lifestyle - it's a video about how bored he is.

The film features Richard lying on walls, driving along motorways and herding sheep in the Lake District. And footage of hills. Lots of hills.

The bizarre but very slightly Top Gear-esque film (which comes in 'uncut' 10 minute form and shorter four minute highlights) features Hammond and his dog travelling to Buttermere in the Lake District to learn the art of shepherding.

Richard says almost nothing in the film, which features long walks over the hills, sullenly looking at lakes and feeding cows.

Most of it appears to have been filmed on a mobile phone or bodycam, not exactly the high production values Top Gear fans will be used to, and apart from a Land Rover, cars are few and far between.

What there are, however, is sheep. And drinking. And Richard being a bit hungover.

We won't spoil it for you, but the best bits are the occasional off camera commentary, so listen out.
