Acting great, quintessential gentleman and British national treasure – Bill Nighy ticks all the boxes. We hoped he’d be as entertaining and
eccentric in person as he is on screen in Love, Actually and The Boat That Rocked. He didn’t disappoint…

Making a splashLand Rover adds the Velar to its line-up
In this, the Digital Age of the iPhone, iPlayer, iEverything and the Daily Mail, it’s near impossible for anyone or any brand to keep a secret – Cheryl Cole heard she was pregnant before she even knew she was. It’s therefore hard to be-lieve that Land Rover, a universal name under an incessant media microscope, has been able to keep the launch of a new Range Rover model clandestine from prying eyes.

In fairness, Land Rover has had the perfect guise. While petrolheads have been looking east, speculating as to what will fill the vast chasm where once the mighty Defender dug in its brut-ish off-road tread, the engineers have been toiling away in the west, working on the fourth member of the Range Rover family: the Velar.
The Velar hangs from the luxury branch of the Land Rover baobab tree,
designed to fill the ‘white space’ between the Range Rover Sport and the Evo-que. Having dominated the SUV world, introducing a mid-size iteration was the next logical step. It is projected to emulate the Evoque’s success, which has been instrumental in growing Land Rover’s global sales.
The Velar is a nod to Land Rover’s prestigious bloodline, as the original Range Rover prototypes of 1969 were
known by the same name – it is Italian for ‘veil’ or ‘shroud’, which, given the na-ture of the reveal, is rather apt. It enters the market as competition to the likes of the Porsche Macan, the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé.
Although at first glance the contrasts to its siblings are acute, the Velar does feature several unique character traits. This is the classic middle child: more daring and genetically-blessed than
the eldest, but not as wild and over-ly-confident as the youngest (there’s no convertible roof for the Velar in the pipeline just yet). It is easily one of the best-looking cars from the marque, with a finish of elegant refinement that has been achieved through the Land Rover belief in ‘reductionism’.
Not only does it look great, it’s also the most aerodynamically-efficient car to come from the Solihull factory, meaning

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s annual award ceremony, honouring both film and television, convened for a star-studded event hosted by Jimmy Fallon at the Beverly Hilton. Meryl Streep, receiving the Cecil B
DeMille award for outstanding contribution to entertainment, controversially used her speech to hit out at Donald Trump, while
critically-beloved musical La La Land broke records by winning seven awards.

Need a light?The Ligne 2 Fire Head sounds as good as it looks

For more than 144 years S.T.Dupont has crafted beautiful objects that have been coveted by the European elite – not to mention three limited-edition collections for 007 himself. But its most iconic product is, without doubt, the Ligne 2 Fire Head lighter.
Although there are many lighters on the market, an S.T.Dupont iteration is inimitable. The Ligne 2 is elegant and
stylish, with a palladium finish and a bezelled geometric motif.
However, it’s not just the beauti-ful styling that makes an S.T.Dupont lighter instantly recognisable. You’ll always know when one is nearby from the iconic sound it makes when you flick it open. Designers think about how the crystal-clear chime of the lighter’s cap opening sounds before
anything else, as it is the most important part of the S.T.Dupont experience.
To make sure none of your cigar- toking pals walk away with your most gentlemanly of accoutrements, you can have the Fire Head engraved with up to three initials. All of the personalised engraving and embossing is done by S.T.Dupont’s master craftsmen and will take just two weeks.

‘THE ONLY METHOD I HAVE,’ muses Kyle Soller, ‘and it’s one that transcends all my roles, is to just do as much research as I possibly can.’
And that amounts to a lot of learning, as, for a young actor, 33-year-old Soller’s resume is surprisingly long.
From his early theatre work in the West End, via films such as Anna Karenina and The Fifth Estate, to television work including The Hollow Crown, You, Me and the Apocalypse and his best-known role as Francis Poldark, the American actor has played a range of parts – and he is an expert in every single one.
‘Whether that be reading up about the time period, or a person, or – for You, Me and the Apocalypse – learning about various disaster scenarios, I just gain as much knowledge as possible – to try to become an expert on whatever that character is about.
‘Otherwise, the audience can see the chinks – they can see the fakery.’
Soller was initially spotted by the Poldark producers while performing in the West End. ‘Several years back,’ he says, ‘I did three plays back-to-back – and I think that was the most significant period of growth in my career.’
And Soller, who singles out fellow American Sam Rockwell as an inspiration – ‘I dig how interesting his choices are, working in both theatre and film’ – is soon to return to the stage.
‘I’ve just finished shooting a film,’ the actor reveals, ‘but I’m actually just about to start rehearsals for Hedda Gabler at the National Theatre with Ruth Wilson – something I still can’t get my head around!’

The Sportsman gets the rare chance to shoot sika, roe and fallow deer as we head to the sun-soaked valleys of the West
Country with Jason Ward of Thornhill Deer Management
W o r d s b y F R A N K S T E P H E N S O N
A Dorset triple
ith the August heat haze
still shimmering across the undulating Dorset landscape as the day drew to a close, stalking guide Jason Ward knew the best
bet would be to head to the woods. ‘There’s decent roebuck still in the area, and they’re still coming to the call here.’ With 30,000 acres of stalking, Jason’s business, Thornhill Deer Management, has thrived since he set it up five years ago. ‘My father had a stalking company years ago,’ Jason said, as we headed to one of his areas near Blandford. ‘I’ve been stalking since I was old enough to walk. Dad is from this area, and so I always went out with him.’
Roe, sika and fallow deer inhabit the area, and the mixture of forests, valleys and rolling hills mean Dorset’s landscape is any keen stalker’s fantasy playground. There are, says Jason, muntjac moving into the area, and with some ground for Chinese water deer near Northampton, there’s not much he can’t offer in the way of ungulates. Interestingly, though his foreign clients are always keen to shoot something unusual, in the way of sika, muntjac or Chinese water deer, ‘They only want to shoot one, then they want to hunt roe. I’ve got plenty of medal roebuck in this area, and we manage it carefully to ensure there are always a few ready to take every year.’
Twenty minutes from a comfortable two-bedroom log cabin, which guests can stay in, was the first area we’d be stalking, a large block of woodland, with oak and beech standing like ancient giants. Areas of young growth, and an understorey of bracken, brambles and thick spongey moss offered plenty in the way of shelter and food, and told of excellent forestry management.
Bridleways criss-cross the edge of the forest, leaving an inner sanctum of overgrown rides, dappled light and hopefully, roe.
We parked up, and I readied my rifle, a Merkel RX Helix in .30-06, filling the magazine and putting one in the chamber. We moved off slowly, working our way through the woods, watching for the twitch of an ear or the tell-tale flash of chestnut among the sombre tree trunks. Soon, our slow progress was rewarded. A buck, one antler slightly longer than the other, stood 40 metres from us. Just to his right was a doe and kid. ‘That’s the one I was after,’ Jason whispered.
The sticks up, the rifle steady, I locked in on the animal. As my thumb crept towards the safety, the buck sped off, with doe and kid following behind. Had they seen us, or simply sensed a predator nearby? We watched as they melted into the high bracken, and Jason used his Buttolo call to produce a few squeaks. The kid stopped, looking towards us. Then the doe reappeared, followed by the buck. I shifted the sticks 90 degrees to the left, repositioning myself behind the rifle. ‘If you get a clear shot, take it,’ Jason whispered, as he squeaked once more. I waited for the buck, which was now around 90 metres away, to give me a broadside view. Pushing the manual cocking system up, I steadied my stance. The rifle shot echoed through the woods, and the buck showed no sign of being hit. ‘I’ve clean missed!’ I said, working the bolt nonetheless, and keeping the buck in my sights. The buck took five steps and dropped dead on the forest floor.
Not only had the buck shown no sign at all of a hit, but the forest around us both absorbed and bounced sounds around, so we hadn’t detected the tell-tale ‘thunk’ sound a bullet makes when it finds its target.

Belvoir CastleBelvoir Castle, meaning ‘beautiful
view’, sits atop a steep hill in
Leicestershire. The stunning 19th-
century Regency house appears
to have fallen from the pages of a
romantic fairytale, with turrets and
towers fit for a princess. The castle
has been the ancestral home of the
Duke of Rutland for almost 1,000
years and currently houses the 11th
Duke and Duchess of Rutland and
their family. There are 13 magnificent
state rooms to choose from if
guests plan on staying the night,
including the Tapestry room and
Chinese rooms. There is also the
option to stay at Croxton Lodge,
nestled in remote parkland, with
eight bedrooms to choose from. No
request is too much at Belvoir and
the hospitality team will strive to
cater for your every need – be it a
medieval banquet, a whisky tasting
or a casino night. Shooting is run by
shoot captain and estate director Phil
Burtt who has been with the estate
for eight years. Belvoir boasts 73
well-established drives of pheasant,
partridge and duck and this year
they are aiming to achieve 150 full
shooting days. Guests can expect to
begin the day in the Castle’s Guard
room with a cup of coffee while pegs
are drawn, before heading out into
the 16,000-acre estate. There is the
option to either return to the castle
for lunch, followed by afternoon tea
once the shooting finishes, or have
lunch out in the field at the Happy
Beater barn, followed by dinner in
the castle at the end of the day. Jane
Jones, the shoot events manager,
says: ‘Belvoir is a fantastic location
for a shoot. We have such a wide
range of drives to choose from
that Guns in January could still be
shooting an untouched drive.’

‘THE ONLY METHOD I HAVE,’ muses Kyle Soller, ‘and it’s one that transcends all my roles, is to just do as much research as I possibly can.’
And that amounts to a lot of learning, as, for a young actor, 33-year-old Soller’s resume is surprisingly long.
From his early theatre work in the West End, via films such as Anna Karenina and The Fifth Estate, to television work including The Hollow Crown, You, Me and the Apocalypse and his best-known role as Francis Poldark, the American actor has played a range of parts – and he is an expert in every single one.
‘Whether that be reading up about the time period, or a person, or – for You, Me and the Apocalypse – learning about various disaster scenarios, I just gain as much knowledge as possible – to try to become an expert on whatever that character is about.
‘Otherwise, the audience can see the chinks – they can see the fakery.’
Soller was initially spotted by the Poldark producers while performing in the West End. ‘Several years back,’ he says, ‘I did three plays back-to-back – and I think that was the most significant period of growth in my career.’
And Soller, who singles out fellow American Sam Rockwell as an inspiration – ‘I dig how interesting his choices are, working in both theatre and film’ – is soon to return to the stage.
‘I’ve just finished shooting a film,’ the actor reveals, ‘but I’m actually just about to start rehearsals for Hedda Gabler at the National Theatre with Ruth Wilson – something I still can’t get my head around!’

Turnbull & Asser are known for the eccentricity of products, but we wanted to take things back to basics – focusing on the quality and detail of their product whilst retaining the brand’s tone of voice. Shooting a series of assets starting with a print advert in the magazine, we then continued the series on social media as well as shooting accompanying films at their Gloucester Factory.

Making a splashLand Rover adds the Velar to its line-up
In this, the Digital Age of the iPhone, iPlayer, iEverything and the Daily Mail, it’s near impossible for anyone or any brand to keep a secret – Cheryl Cole heard she was pregnant before she even knew she was. It’s therefore hard to be-lieve that Land Rover, a universal name under an incessant media microscope, has been able to keep the launch of a new Range Rover model clandestine from prying eyes.

In fairness, Land Rover has had the perfect guise. While petrolheads have been looking east, speculating as to what will fill the vast chasm where once the mighty Defender dug in its brut-ish off-road tread, the engineers have been toiling away in the west, working on the fourth member of the Range Rover family: the Velar.
The Velar hangs from the luxury branch of the Land Rover baobab tree,
designed to fill the ‘white space’ between the Range Rover Sport and the Evo-que. Having dominated the SUV world, introducing a mid-size iteration was the next logical step. It is projected to emulate the Evoque’s success, which has been instrumental in growing Land Rover’s global sales.
The Velar is a nod to Land Rover’s prestigious bloodline, as the original Range Rover prototypes of 1969 were
known by the same name – it is Italian for ‘veil’ or ‘shroud’, which, given the na-ture of the reveal, is rather apt. It enters the market as competition to the likes of the Porsche Macan, the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé.
Although at first glance the contrasts to its siblings are acute, the Velar does feature several unique character traits. This is the classic middle child: more daring and genetically-blessed than
the eldest, but not as wild and over-ly-confident as the youngest (there’s no convertible roof for the Velar in the pipeline just yet). It is easily one of the best-looking cars from the marque, with a finish of elegant refinement that has been achieved through the Land Rover belief in ‘reductionism’.
Not only does it look great, it’s also the most aerodynamically-efficient car to come from the Solihull factory, meaning

As part of a collaboration with Land Rover, Gentleman’s Journal produced a three-page editorial focused on the launch of its new Range Rover model, the Velar. This was strategically placed within ‘The Pick’, the first section within each issue, providing the reader with interesting and digestible content before the features section.
G E N T L E M A N ’ S J O U R N A L
it’s very economically-minded given that it can shift from still to 60 in 6.7 seconds, and certainly isn’t in line to be the next global warming scapegoat.
The usual qualities we have come to know and love (and expect, to be hon-est) from Land Rover all feature on the spec sheet: the unparalleled off-road capability; the smooth ride; thorough attention to detail; and head-turning beauty. But it’s inside, in the ‘calming
sanctuary’, that it gets really exciting. This is the most advanced and intui-tive model Land Rover has ever made, with a Touch Pro Duo infotainment system running through two 10-inch HD touchscreens, Driver Condition Moni-toring, matrix-laser LED headlights and deployable door handles. Luxury blends flawlessly with modernity – it has Gerry McGovern’s creative genius all over it.
Six variants of the Velar will be man-
ufactured, ranging from the clean 180PS 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel to the potent 380PS supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine. The latter will race to 60mph in 5.5 seconds and keep climb-ing all the way to its electronic limit of 155mph. It’s yet another exciting chapter in the Land Rover story.
The Range Rover Velar will be available from mid-July. Prices start at £44,830
