Jeremy Clarkson knows how to keep his programs on TV. Top Gear ran for years and Clarkson’s Farm looks set to do the same. Who would have thought that the show would get to series sixteen! Obviously the Farm never served him any cold food.
Here’s everything you need to know about new series…
Offshoring – Jeremy looks into re-registering his farm as an offshore trust based in the Netherlands Antilles, for tax reasons. Jeremy takes a trip to meet the locals, who turn out to be mostly lawyers and tax accountants. Happily, one of the islands is Curaçao, famous for its alcoholic drink. Unhappily, Jeremy is off drink for health reasons. But the visit does inspire him to brew his own Diddly Squat Cotswold Curaçao, which he sells in the farm shop at £90 a bottle.
Snailblazing – After trying to farm all the normal animals like cows, sheep, pigs and alpacas, Jeremy decides to take the battle directly to France, and takes up snail farming. He is disappointed to find that everything, including the livestock, moves very slowly. Viewers will enjoy his epic battles with HMRC as he tries and fails to understand the post-Brexit paperwork needed to get his snails to market in France. Viewers will also enjoy his epic battles with the French, who aren’t keen on English molluscs, and set fire to his tractor.
Greening – Jeremy burnishes his green credentials by buying an electric tractor. Caleb is hospitalised after laughing so much that he hurts himself. Jeremy discovers that his cows don’t generate enough ‘raw material’ for his methane plant and the electricity generated is only enough to charge his mobile. Council officers tell him without planning permission the methane plant will have to go. Jeremy attempts to bulldoze it, but the tractor runs out of juice.
