Clarkson’s Farm show boss speaks frankly on show’s future

The popular documentary first landed on screens back in 2021, showcasing Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire.

With four series now to date and a fifth expected to be released next month, demand for the farming programme is high among fans.

Diddly Squat is the core focus of the show, with farmhand Kaleb Cooper and Mr Clarkson’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan, among the faces featured throughout its run.

Mr Clarkson’s acquisition of The Windmill pub in Asthall, now renamed The Farmer’s Dog following its 2024 opening, also featured in the most recent season.

Producer Andy Wilman, Mr Clarkson’s long-standing collaborator, said according to The Express: “You’ve got to remember this is Jeremy’s show, it’s not like mine and his or his and Richard’s, it’s his baby and if at the end of a series, he can think of something he wants to do for another series, then he’ll do it.

“You can’t have that thing where you have done one series too many and people say, ‘that’s b******* now, it’s a busted flush. So you have to discipline yourself to say, ‘we end this now while we still have an audience.’

“Every series we have is a bonus and we have to treat it like the Grand Tour, that every series we have is a bonus – and each time we’re thinking we’re in uncharted territory with the farming show. It’s the most joyous thing to edit.”
