Jeremy Clarkson has broken his silence on the future of his hit agricultural series Clarkson’s Farm
Jeremy Clarkson has provided an update concerning Clarkson’s Farm following worries about a potential break.
The former Top Gear host, who has turned his attention to farming pursuits and brewing ventures, has assured fans that “the show must go on” after previously revealing that the reality programme could be taking a pause after the fifth series, due to air next year.
The 64-year-old caused alarm when he suggested that filming crews might not make their way back to Diddly Squat Farm for a bit, reports the Mirror.
However, with production now wrapped for the forthcoming series, Jeremy has indicated that the show will definitely return at some point.
In his latest column, he wrote: “It’s likely that the brilliant guys who edit our show will find some nuggets of humour in the mix and that there’ll be some laughs in season five and in the relentless sunshine, the Cotswolds did look fantastic.”
He told The Sun: “But at the coalface it was knackering. Are we carrying on? Well, we’ve sent the cameras away to give us a break from that side of things for a while, but yup.”
“Kaleb’s out there now in his tractor and after I’ve finished writing this I’ll be joining him. The show goes on,” he said, reports the Daily Star.
The fifth series is anticipated to include some devastating moments as Clarkson’s Oxfordshire farm was recently struck by an outbreak of bovine tuberculosis and was forced into lockdown, with operations suspended for two months. Bovine tuberculosis, a respiratory disease triggered by bacteria, requires the culling of all affected cattle. Devastatingly, one of his cows, expecting twins, returned a positive test result.
Meanwhile, the former Top Gear host turned agriculturalist has recently spoken candidly about the punishing obstacles he and his crew have encountered whilst shooting the forthcoming fifth series of the popular Amazon Prime programme.
However, viewers anticipating another cheerful serving of machinery disasters, adorable livestock, and rural humour will be taken aback. “It isn’t,” the star stated matter-of-factly.
“Because the last 12 months have been a conveyor belt of misery.”
Last week, the celebrity confirmed the cast and production team had completed filming for series five.
He posted on Instagram a picture of himself with partner Lisa Hogan and the complete Diddly Squat Farm crew, featuring Kaleb Cooper, Charlie Ireland and Gerald Cooper. Jeremy captioned the photograph: “Season 5. It’s a wrap.”
