What is TB?
On a farm, “TB” generally refers to bovine tuberculosis (bTB), a chronic, infectious disease primarily affecting cattle.
It’s caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis and can also infect other animals, including humans.
Bovine TB is a significant concern for farmers due to its potential impact on animal health, productivity, and trade restrictions.
Former Top Gear star slams Clarkson
Recently, Steve Berry, who presented the original format of Top Gear from 1993 to 1999, came forward and slammed Clarkson.
Amongst many other things, Berry said Clarkson is ‘a less bombastic version of that person that you see on the screen’.
Speaking to Al Arabiya News, Berry, a motoring journalist turned businessman, told presenter Michael Prendergast that his old colleague Jeremy Clarkson was a “massive show-off and egotist” and that’s what made him “unique” and appealing to Top Gear bosses.
“He (Clarkson) said I’m the producer of Top Gear. I said oh, very good. And just walked out of the news agents. And he followed me out and he said, I think you’d be good on the television.

“Why don’t come down and have a try out? So I went down there and I got sent at first. To see how it was done. He said, “What you need to do is to go along on a shoot and see how we work.
“The first shoot that I went along on was presented by a certain Mr. Jeremy Clarkson. And I’ll never forget this, he turned up two hours late. I turned up half an hour early because I wanted to impress.
He turned up to hours late and the crew were fuming. Absolutely fuming, I thought. Right, make a point, don’t do that because you want the crew on your side.”
