Jeremy Clarkson - learning to farm

Available for over a year

Jeremy Clarkson is an unlikely farmer. He rose to fame as the presenter of ‘Top Gear’, known for his ridiculous stunts and loud opinions. But his recent TV appearances have been about his attempts to run his farm in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. In the process, he’s introduced the trials and tribulations of farming to a whole new audience. While many in the farming community have embraced the programme, which sees Clarkson struggling with the realities of running a farm, others are critical, saying he is too controversial to be a good advert for British agriculture. In this programme Charlotte Smith visits Clarkson’s farm - named "Diddly Squat" after how much money it makes - to find out what he’s learnt from his foray into agriculture. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
