text: Those wondering what the future holds for former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond need wonder no more. The BBC co-host appears to have already launched a new career - as a documentary maker of incredibly dull things. The 45-year-old, whose Top Gear future has been in doubt since Jeremy Clarkson's unceremonious sacking, has released his first home video on a new channel on YouTube. Scroll down for video . Bored: Richard Hammond has released a video documenting his 'bored' unemployed lifestyle - which has already been watched by 230,000 people . The film begins with a scene showing the 45-year-old lying on a wall shouting 'bored' to himself and his dog . It comes after James May, also in the Top Gear presenting trio, released a series of videos showcasing his jobless life. One included a cookery demonstration on how to make a shepherd's pie. But, if the title is anything to go by, it seems Hammond is still in need of a little bit of inspiration. Using the username 'Richard Hammond is bored', the presenter entitled the video 'Bored', before publishing an edited version  under the equally-inspired name of 'Bored 2'. Predictably, the description reads: 'This video is about bored'. The amusing but mind-numbing film - which lasts for ten minutes - begins with Hammond lying on top of a wall on his farm in Ross-on-Wye. He is seen shouting at the top of his voice - to no one except his dog - that he is 'Bored!' The slickly-edited video then follows Hammond as he drives along the M6 and country roads to Buttermere in the Lake District, Cumbria. The film follows Hammond as he takes his dog to Buttermere in the Lake District to learn how to herd sheep . Amid scenes of the National Park in all its springtime glory, the footage follows Hammond as he learns from local farmers about how to look after sheep. There are also scenes of Hammond feeding cows before having a pint with the farmers in the local pub, the Bridge Hotel. Hammond also takes time out of his farming duties to sit by a lake with his dog, pensively looking out across the water. But, unlike his Top Gear presenting style, Hammond rarely speaks during the film, sharing only a few key insights such as: 'It's raining' and 'What are we doing?' The film then ends with a cliff hanger which shows Hammond releasing some of the sheep back onto his farm in Wales - but realising that he has left his beloved dog behind. It follows the former Top Gear co-host as he drives along the M6 listening to radio, with his dog in the car . It also shows him having a few drinks in the pub. Unlike his Top Gear presenting style, Hammond rarely speaks during the film, sharing only a few key insights such as: 'It's raining' and 'What are we doing?' Two hours after promoting his film via Twitter, Hammond thanked his fans for their comments - but said it had not abated his boredom. 'Many comments on my little Bored film. Was briefly interested. Then bored again. Shall make a cutdown version next. When I can be bothered,' he wrote. He later added: 'Have made cutdown version of Bored. Called it Bored 2 and put it on YouTube on 'Richard Hammond is bored'. Not so bored now.' Yesterday, Jeremy Clarkson - who was sacked from Top Gear last month - revealed that Hammond was spending his days trying to train his dog. He wrote: 'One of my friends, who shall remain nameless - save to say that his name begins with R and ends in ichard Hammond - decided to fill his enforced leave by training his dog. The film ends with a cliff hanger which shows Hammond releasing some of the sheep back onto his farm - but realising his dog is missing . In an amusing end scene, the dog is scene sitting next to the lake, worryingly looking around for her owner . 'And now, after just a couple of weeks, he reports that the dog in question hates him and hides whenever he comes into the room.' Clarkson also reflected on the perils of being unemployed, saying he has to make everything 'last for hours' to fill the gaping chasm left by Top Gear. In his Sunday Times column, he wrote: 'We read often about people who live on benefits, and it fills us with rage that they are sitting about with a plasma television we bought, eating chocolate biscuits that aren't bloody well theirs. 'Yet after a couple of weeks in the same boat (well, all right, mine's more of a liner), I'm beginning to develop a bit of sympathy. Because what the hell do they do all day to stay sane?' Earlier this month, James May also took to YouTube to share his jobless life with friends. Richard Hammond shared his video with his followers on Twitter. It has already been watched more than 230,000 times . In a badly-lit video, the former BBC presenter gave a 'masterclass' in making a shepherd's pie. The cooking activity was originally selected by his Twitter followers, after he gave them a list of mundane scenarios which he should be filmed doing around the house. The cooking clip talked viewers through 'ingredients, prep and kit', 'cooking onions and chilli', 'browning meat, adding Indian spice' and 'not sure'. He had previously posted a video showing him tackling 'Greensleeves' on his recorder while struggling with a hangover – a popular piece that has thus far notched up over half-a-million views. Since Jeremy Clarkson was sacked over the infamous 'fracas' involving a Top Gear producer, there has been mounting speculation over Hammond and May's positions at the BBC. Bosses are reportedly still trying to persuade the pair to continue with the show, in a bid to cling on to long-term fans. Since the unceremonious sacking of Jeremy Clarkson, there has been mounting speculation over Hammond and May's positions at the BBC . Although both hinted separately that they do not see a future with Top Gear, they have remained silent on the issue for the past few weeks. Some believe the presenters are remaining silent while waiting for bids from rival channels, which may want to sign up the group as a trio. A source told the Daily Mirror: 'Richard is a TV presenter and this could be his chance to become top dog - he's been on the show a bit longer than James. That is a big opportunity to pass over.' They added: 'It would be a great shame to lose all the talent in one go - re-booting it from scratch would be a far harder task than replacing one.' All three were on the cusp of signing new three-year deals when the Clarkson fracas unfolded. The day after Clarkson's sacking, May gave a big hint that he has no plans to return to Top Gear, suggesting he is to ‘go back to normal life.’ But BBC bosses are reportedly still trying to persuade Richard Hammond and James May to continue with the show, in a bid to cling onto long-term fans . The presenter admitted he was already considering what to do next with his life - and suggested he might even ditch cars to become a teacher. He said: 'I might want to do something completely different with my life, I'm quite old now. (I might do) something outside of cars, I always wanted to be a teacher.' He also seemed to confirm speculation that he would leave the top-rating programme, saying: 'We always knew it wasn't going to last forever'. But the BBC's creative director Alan Yentob previously made it clear he wanted May and Hammond to continue presenting the show without Clarkson, despite acknowledging it would be 'perfectly natural' for them to have reservations about continuing. He said: 'It's perfectly natural for them. They are a team they have worked together for a very long time, they are all very attached. 'If Jeremy is not in it and Richard and James are, that needs to be a conversation with them as well. They need to be happy about what's going on and where they think the programme needs to be.' May fronts several other TV programmes, including the popular James May's Toy Stories, James May's Man Lab and Oz and James' Big Wine Adventure with wine expert Oz Clarke. Hammond has a successful career as a children’s television host, fronting the second series of National Geographic's Science of Stupid. He also hosted BBC1’s physical game show Total Wipeout and the CBBC series Blast Lab before they were axed. Clarkson, May and Hammond are scheduled to take part in the live Top Gear shows next month. But the shows have been renamed, without BBC branding.
