r/ClarksonsFarm

In the series, Clarkson decides to go with his heart and not his mind, allowing the chicks to grow up but obviously this isn't something all farmers can afford to do, otherwise they wouldn't be near extinction to begin with. So are there any solutions to this grim problem or is the consensus going full Lord Farquaad on these birds essentially saying "Some of you may go extinct, but that's a sacrifice we're willing to make". Seems rather brutal no?

I'd be very interested in hearing people's perspectives on this. Also can losing this biodiversity come back to bite us?

It's always frustrating knowing there's a dozen or so people behind the cameras just watching Jeremy struggle. I get they're just meant to document but it must be incredibly annoying so it's fun when Jeremy asks them to help every once in a while. Also seeing them react to completely ridiculous situations is just fun like seeing the cameraman laughing during the sheep autopsy. Jeremy asking them to vote to keep the goats and Caleb saying they don't count was a great moment.

I had the same question, I think in one episode where Caleb is distracted by the machine, he says to water x field it will use x huge amount of water. so that’s a reason.

Will it be a series?

I've just started Clarkson's Farm... Are other places as beurocratic as the UK when it comes to farming? I mean it seems like every single episode so far he's in breach of some sort of rule that Charlie brings up.

Some could just be bittersweet or tender moments - this has become my comfort show ❤️‍🩹🫶💞

Jeremy gets the big moments, Kaleb gets the funny ones, Gerald gets the wholesome ones. But Lisa buying snails and sheep behind Jeremy's back, running the pub, keeping everything together while Jeremy does something mad with a piece of machinery, she does more actual work than anyone and I feel like she does not get enough credit for it. Season 5 made this more obvious than ever. Am I wrong or does everyone already know this?

And I'd love to see Jeremy's reaction to that.

Sorry for the clickbait title. Not the intention.

It’s the episode where Dilwyn is testing the cows for TB. Specifically Kaleb and Jeremy waiting in anticipation for Dilwyn’s initial testing where he switches from a negative to a positive result. Jeremy and Kaleb’s reaction made me laugh.
“Dilwyn, how many times have you been murdered?” Whilst Kaleb is breathing a sigh of relief whilst muttering in the background something like “for fuck sakes Dilwyn”.

It’s the subtleties of Kaleb’s facial expression and Clarkson’s sharp wit more than ever.

Is it common for farmers and other laborers in the UK to wear a button-up/collared shirt when doing manual labor? I think Jeremy and Caleb's clothes are smart but are they dressing up because of television or is this just Brits being dapper? I'm from the American South and that attire is not common unless we are going to church/special social function/funeral/etc. We call a striped or checkered, button up shirt with a collar a "dress shirt".

Couldn't help but getting distracted while watching the movie at how similar her relationship with Grace is to Charlie and Jeremy's. Grace is the serious rule follower, often stoic in manner, and has to deflect or redirect Grace's energy. She also often seems bemused by Grace despite her frustrations. Just a wonderfully written and performed character.

And I'd argue there is certainly a resemblance to Charlie, although I doubt he's as good at karaoke.
