One of the best things my wife and I have watched in the last year is “Clarkson’s Farm” and “Clarkson’s farm2”.
This features Top Gear head guy and and bad boy Jeremy Clarkson who decided to buy an English farm near Chipping-Norton, England and see what he could do as a novice farmer.
He calls his farm Diddly Squat Farm an indication of how much he knew about farming. Which was next to nothing.
So his first season sees him take on a series of farming jobs that include animals and crops making a botch of both but proceeding with enthusiasm into all his misadventures.
He relies on a young real farmer named Kaleb Cooper who seems to know everything there is to know about farming including animals, crops, and equipment.
One of the funniest features of both seasons is Kaleb constantly upbraiding Clarkson for his ignorance and flubs.
Nevertheless, they work well together making a go of the farm. There is friction between the local council who seem mostly composed of a bunch of would be Stalins who disapprove of almost everything Clarkson wants to do,
The series is narrated by Clarkson who doesn’t spare himself in criticism. The language gets a little salty too.
The wife and I can’t wait for season three.
