Ok UK peas - having a DH who would watch Grand Tour non-stop, I know Jeremy Clarkson is an asshole.
But OMG we’ve been watching his farm show and killing ourselves laughing. It’s in the last season and he has pigs and goats and finally got the approval for his farm shop, cafe and food truck. He has more missteps than wins, but you can see the attention he brings to how hard the life of farmers really is.
ETA - we seem to have added a new phrase to our house - "I did a thing!" LOL
DH and DS were both glued to the very last episode ever of Grand Tour (the Prime continuation of Top Gear) - and were sad to see it end. So we are looking forward to a Season 4 of Clarkson's Farm if it ever finishes filming!

We have watched it since the first season. Season 4 is being filmed now. We LOVE it, and we are rewatching all seasons. My parents love it too. Truly awesome. I used to live 20 miles from his farm! My friends still live there.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. I had not watched any of his other car race type shows so I knew nothing about him. At first glance, he comes across a bit gruff. But watching his reaction to the various animal births and having to make hard decisions regarding them, I saw that he has a much softer side than I thought. And those baby pigs and baby lambs! I was so sad when the momma pig kept crushing her babies. The preventative device that Jeremy designed was genius! Far fewer squashed babies, I’m sure. I also don’t know much about farming, so that has been really interesting too. And I get such a kick out of Kaleb. And finding out that the Pepper the cow did not end up in the slaughter house tickled me to pieces. I am looking forward to Season 4.

We love it too 😊 The way Lisa says yes she’ll do what he says then does the opposite, Gerald, Caleb, the whole thing is such a surprising success 😊
I think a lot of his asshole behaviour is for effect really 😊

This is our current favourite show. After 13+ years of playing a hilarious oaf on Top Gear, his softer side is now showing. He's still pretending to be an idiot, ("how hard can it be?" and "what could possibly go wrong?") but he's the perfect foil for Kaleb and the rest of them. It's superb, and highlights the real hardships that farmers go through. And the animals are the stars, of course.

I've only seen the first season which I enjoyed, should perhaps check out the rest.
I saw a YouTube short where Clarkson and Caleb were in a city, I assume London, and Caleb was totally fascinated by a revolving door. He had never used one before.
Someone commented that Clarkson has travelled the world, Caleb has hardy left the village, a travel show could have great potential.

DH and I love this show. There are so many feelings, laughing, crying, frustration, excitement, all the feels. The pigs made us cry, seriously, DH had tears in his eyes watching them try and care for the pigs. You can tell they really cared for what they were doing.

I really like it. I am a big Top Gear fan and I think it's great to see Jeremy in a different situation where he can't bulldoze his way through everything (even though he did that in the first season). The pig story really made me sad. He really loved those little guys.

We have watched Top Gear since the beginning and follow all the spinoffs. Love the Amazon version with the three guys. When I want one background noise I usually put on Clarksons Farm.
We are also fans of James May’s OH COOK and the Our Man in Japan, Italy and India series.
Richard Hammond has several specials that are also good too.

Ha ha - I used it this week in my social media planning for my business - I was part of a styled shoot that got published in a magazine, so naturally "I did a thing!" LOL |

We watched all 3 seasons and we really liked it. I don't know if you have watched the last 2 seasons but you really see a softer side to Jeremy. He really loves the animals and seems to really enjoy the whole process. Caleb is the best thing on the show!

I think it is seriously the best show on television right now. My whole family loves it, I have been watching since day one and honestly die laughing in spots. The hot sauce episode I was laughing so hard I had to pause the show. Love the whole cast and hopefully that they are making a real difference in the farming industry.

It's a fabulous show. Especially Clarkson's Ring and Caleb's crack. I love how Caleb is the only person who can get away with calling Jeremy an f-ing idiot (which he is) and get away with it. Everybody else has always pussy-footed around him. And I love how Jeremy calls Caleb the Foetus.
"I did a thing" is in our family vocabulary too, along with "how hard can it be?" and "Oh cook" and "I've NOT had my teeth done" every time we come back from the dentist. "Sheeps", "Gentlemen's vegetables", "lady garden", and "you're all right, you're all right" when one of us is reversing. Actually the more I think, the more phrases I can think of.
Did anyone see the final Grand Tour? Oh my goodness, so many tears.

I watched a bit, and did watch the very end with all the handshakes and such between them all. It was a good ending for them |
