As the sun rises on a new season of Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy Clarkson is feeling sorry for himself. The success of his Prime Video show, which has documented the former Top Gear host’s efforts to run Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds since 2021, has had a major side effect: turning his gilet-loving assistant Kaleb Cooper into a star in his own right.
And so the affable farm hand has embarked on a national tour to promote his latest book, leaving his far less competent boss in charge of the day-to-day running of Diddly Squat. Cue a lot of morose shots of Clarkson standing in fields sighing or engaging in futile arguments with his pigs. While Kaleb is leading a crowd in a mass singalong of – you guessed it – “I’ve Got a Brand New Combine Harvester”, Clarkson is quite literally “shovelling s***”. It’s like an agricultural Freaky Friday.
