MrPhantom Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Love this programme. If you believe the media this series will be the last based on his recent comments on MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted February 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 The trailer looks good - available on YouTube - I have heard they are contracted for a 3rd series. Personally I would pay outside of Prime, Netflix etc to watch the show - might be an idea for Jezza to break into the streaming business as a producer - "Jezza Streams" 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Realy enjoyed it , found it both very funny at times and a bid sad . When he explained the cost of growing a crop and his profits at the end . A bit of an eye opener. I rent a cottage in the middle of a big farm , it can give you a great insight into everyday life farms passed down from fathers to sons , keeping things going Working past retirement age , as that is all they have .

30-6 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 He can be a bit like marmite, he's his own worst enemy. But like said he is entertaining, like him or not. I didn't used to like him, but after " diddly squat " came about he's grown on me. I will look forward to his farming exploits, and I still say Kaleb should have his own talkshow, or go on mastermind - subject farming, or go on the chase. If ever I met him I would want to ask him how he rated the Morris Marina, my second car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic a bit. I had one years ago prepped by a RR engineer, we called ti the Belgrano due to it's suspension but it never missed a beat.

JohnfromUK Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) I am looking forward to the new series ........... but with a little 'trepidation'. The reason for the trepidation is this. The first series was really excellent, because it was a new idea, he was new and fresh to it, and it was all about him learning the very challenging occupation that is farming. He did it with humour, sensitivity and (as far as I can tell) genuine enjoyment and interest. However - for series 2, it isn't new any more. The major topics weather, animal husbandry, crop growth troubles have been covered. Sure there will be some new details within those topics (different weather issues, different crop troubles, different animals) but will it be 'new' enough to keep up the interest? I'm suspect that his ongoing issues with the local authorities re planning for shops, restaurants, car parks may form a large part of the series. If so - these aren't really the ongoing challenges that face 'most' farmers. Clarkson's shop and restaurant's real selling points and the reasons they have been so amazingly popular is not because people love his locally produced produce, or his local neighbour farmers produce, or beer made with his barley etc. - it is people love the idea of meeting him. Something most farmers don't have. Series 1 was genuinely about Clarkson getting to grips with the farm and exploring what he could do with it - it was filmed (mainly) before the shop and fully before the restaurant ventures. Series 2 may be about how a 'celebrity' can leverage his celebrity status to bring success to his farm TV show (which happens to include a farm) and maybe about how a celebrity can take on the local planners. I will be watching - and we will see what is there. Edited February 9, 2023 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Just about the only thing me and Mrs Agriv8 will sit down together and watch - the other is gone fishing. The fact that the bafoon Clarkson has made a lot of us understand the hardships of farming through diddly squat is a credit to him and his production company. I read somewhere that he wants to cover his small shoot in his woods but it’s a step too far for production company/ Amazon! will be watching this shortly!

loriusgarrulus Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 One thing I like is that the dialogue is very clear and no overlay of loud music over the speech so you can hear what their saying apart from Gerald with the strong west country accent..
