Read our privacy policy I was about 20 minutes into the new series of Clarkson’s Farm when I realised I quite liked Jeremy Clarkson. One day, you’re absentmindedly finding the fist-happy Top Gear alumni a little bit charismatic, the next you’re wearing a Union Jack onesie and remarking that “Theresa May wasn’t half bad, was she?” I can’t possibly watch another episode. “Fertiliser is too expensive.” “The council won’t let me put down wood chippings.” “What do you mean it’s hard to breed pigs?” At one point, Clarkson is raked over the coals by his perpetually uncomfortable land agent Charlie Ireland for making blackberry jam on a whim.
