Jeremy Clarkson's Farm

I must catch up with this. I did read that he didn't know that Lamborghini make tractors. I find that hard to believe, everyone who knows anything about luxury cars knows that Lamborghini started out making tractors.

He's got a big one!

It’s on Amazon Prime, not Netflix?

Sorry. Second episode hilarious in that he electrocuted himself but a bit sad as he genuinely seems to feel for his sheep.

I started watching it last night and began to feel overwhelmed -all that land, so much to do and to learn, and no idea where to start. Maybe he is just a figurehead in order to make the film and to write his news articles?

Started watchi g this and onto the episode with sheep and GERALD was in fits of laughter trying to understand him!!!! Lol. Dont usually like JC but in this program he is quite funny and I'm enjoying it.

I like Jeremy. Looking forward to this show

Loving this show . Have watched 3 episodes so far and looking forward to binge watching the rest soon.
? for him and his broken sheep ?.

Just caught up with the first episode. Oh how DH would have laughed and shouted at JC in equal measure. For me the star of the show was the lovely Caleb.

Such an inspiration - Hard work, good humour and a huge depth of knowledge at only 21.

Why isn’t he on Countryfile?

Why isn’t he on Countryfile?

I don't think mainstream tv has got over the fact he punched his producer for not providing a late-night steak supper. Their loss, in my opinion. He's not necessarily someone I'd ever agree with on a political level but he's damn entertaining.

I read an article about why he made this series. He said he had someone running the farm for him and when they retired he thought “how hard can it be?”. He said he thought the grass just grew and the animals ate it. He was hopelessly naive and said so.

AND he was putting in loads of work. He said it was tougher than anything he’d done before and he was losing money doing it so he thought he would resolve the money issue by filming his disasters as he knew it would be interesting.

I’d forgotten about it to be honest but it was nice to read about him and it sounded as though the programme would be self deprecating and funny. I’ll definitely try to find it now I’ve been reminded.

This is a available on Prime. I passed it by as I am not a fan of his.

I have read a very scathing review of it...

I think it's Caleb not JC Paperbackwriter meant.
I have to agree with other posters, the programme is both entertaining and insightful watching JC negotiate his new world. Loving it more than I thought I would.

I was talking about Caleb, the young farmer who appeared in the first episode.

As far as I know he hasn’t punched any producers.

I would love to watch it but don’t have Netflix. Just because Jeremy Clarkson has strong views that he doesn’t keep to himself doesn’t mean he’s ‘not a nice man’. Only his friends and family would know.

It’s on Amazon Prime, Apegirl

Punching a producer in the face because his late arrival at his hotel, long after the chef had gone home, meant he couldn’t have a hot meal, then yelling and swearing and threatening to sack the unfortunate underling, is nice behaviour and simply JC not keeping his strong views to himself? Well I live and learn.

I don't have Amazon or Netflix and so I can't watch this but I do like JC as he's such a character. I read about his farming exploits in the Sunday Times and he's very entertaining.

Not a fan of JC but we are farmers and found the programme very entertaining We binge watched at the weekend

I like him too, always have done, thanks for this BigBertha1, I’ve just watched the first two, most enjoyable.

I rather like the fact that his parents made the Paddington Bear we know and love. They just made a couple for Jeremy and his sister initially. Now, in the Michael Bond books, Paddington doesn't wear wellingtons. However, the toy bears made by the wonderful Mr and Mrs Clarkson, kept toppling over. And that's where the wellingtons came in. So they made Paddington some bespoke wellies and and the rest is history. Jeremy is a real character and is now back on mainstream TV doing Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I wouldn't be surprised if the farming show appears there sooner or later.

I never go by reviews ( especially as Clarkson is a bit like Marmite) and this is so much more than just Clarkson, it’s the other people who come to his rescue that make it an interesting programme.
It just shows how many of us think that farmers have it easy and actually the reverse is true. Plus he brings a lot of humour to it, mostly of him making a complete hash of things, although I loved the Dry Walling chap who I would dare anyone to bet on understanding a word he says.
I’ve watched ‘tractoring’ and ‘sheeping’ and am waiting to binge watch the others when we get the chance.

Watched two episodes last night and loved it. I like JC too.
