Clarkson’s Farm, June 11, Amazon Prime

Jeremy Clarkson is many things - a journalist, a broadcaste­r, and a man who travels the world in supercars – but he is not a farmer. That’s unfortunat­e because he has just bought a 1,000-acre farm in the English countrysid­e and has decided to run it himself, despite knowing nothing whatsoever about farming. This new series follows an intense, backbreaki­ng and oft-hilarious year in the life of Britain’s most unlikely farmer and his team, as they contend with the worst farming weather in decades, disobedien­t animals, unresponsi­ve crops, and an unexpected pandemic.

Helped only by his gang of agricultur­al associates, Clarkson quickly discovers that a modern farmer must be a conservati­onist, scientist, shepherd, shopkeeper, midwife, engineer, accountant and tractor driver, often at the same time. Despite the calamities that ensue, this is most de nitely not The Grand Tour Goes Farming. Here on the farm, the failures have real emotional consequenc­es and Jeremy, completely out of his comfort zone, must lean on others as he strives to grow crops, rear sheep and pull o environmen­tal projects that are close to his heart. And yes, you read that last bit correctly. This is Jeremy Clarkson as you’ve never seen him before.
