I have to agree with Velvet in this case. I think the difference between Mel Gibson and "Hamlet" and Clarkson and is that "Clarkson's Farm" is a Reality show and, as such, Clarkson's role cannot be separated from his personality. That's something I could do with Mel Gibson and Shakespeare, but probably not Mel Gibson in his own reality show.
