What happened when Jeremy Clarkson swapped the fast lane for farm life?
Daily MailThis has to be the worst elevator pitch for a TV show. Every word that comes out of Jeremy Clarkson's mouth is funny, and our appealingly cack-handed leading man has a dream supporting cast of everyday countryfolk Every man and his dog tells Clarkson that the monster tractor, an over-engineered Lamborghini, is too big After years of burning rubber, he hears the call of the wild, and when his farm manager retires in 2019 he takes the objectively mad decision to farm the 1,000 acres of arable land on his own Clarkson's Farm is perfect telly: educational, entertaining, funny, even moving. Every word that comes out of Jeremy Clarkson's mouth is funny, and our appealingly cack-handed leading man has a dream supporting cast of everyday countryfolk: there's bleach-blond farm boy Kaleb Cooper, a son of the soil who knows all the fields by name, and who went to London once and didn't like it. So just what is Clarkson's Farm, what does he sell in that besieged shop — and how can a man more used to handling a gear stick find his way around a sheep? It's a fairly typical arable farm, but viewers also get to witness Clarkson taking on a flock of sheep and building his own farm shop.
