I don't know if you like Top Gear/Grand Tour show or presenters. But one of them has made a genuinely great Farming show on Amazon Prime. Clarkson's Farm is a fish out of water show that is genuine and fun and unique. All the people on the show are amazing characters. Gerald and Caleb are real standouts with Charlie being the deliverer of real news. If you have Prime subscription do yourself a favor and watch it.
Watch Clarkson's Farm – Season 1 | Prime Video (amazon.com)
"Might have a little turd on my boots" instant classic theme song

I remember the very first Clarkson top gear episode, we had just moved country and BBC was the only television in English and they were going on about their brand new show Top Gear.. that show meant a lot to me. Wish i could find the full collection from season 1 on...
...
But I won't watch this, i just don't watch telly much anymore, latest attempt was The Mandalorian and i lost interest halfway into season 2

I'm kind of the same, barely watch anything these days because I lose interest fast.
But you have to watch this. As someone said earlier there is nothing better to just wind down after a day of work. It's extremely entertaining, peaceful, funny, interesting and full of heart. And beautyfully shot as well.

All around absolutely fantastic series. I couldn't stop watching it.
Everybody is its own character and everybody feels so recognisable in my own life. No script and just pure characters is what u see here and its great.
It introduces people towards farm life that probably never spend a single moment thinking about it and make it more known how much of a struggle things are and what work is related towards it and how money is tight.
The music / scenery the goals he sets for himself its all just been a great journey. I liked the humor, when things get real even for him when he realizes the sheep where already taken care of before he even knew it which kinda shocked him u saw it clearly in his eyes and later his buddy sheep that always came towards him being dead.
His wife or girlfriend whatever it is, lovely person, the shop was great, the wasabi was great with kaleb. That one guy that u can't understand reminds me of a friends dad of mine. He talks in a way it just sounds gibberish . but u don't want to be rude so u gotta talk around it.
The ending was also really well done, and frankly after watching him i would say, he's probably better off on the farm. Dude seems to absolutely love being there and lets be honest here, it gives you tons of freedom that a city doesn't allow. Things are just more real and he notices that big time.
Also at the end of the day, he didn't do that bad with his farm from what i found out even while obviously he dumped a shit ton of money into the farm.
I will absolutely watch season 2.

Tell me Lisa, what was it that attracted you to multi-millionaire Jeremy Clarkson who is usually out of the country for 5 of every 12 months?

I genuinely loved it as much as the old Top Gear and The Grand Tour to the point that I watched the series twice. I'll be shocked if he doesn't do another one or two seasons.
Also new Grand Tour at the end of the month.

There are elements to Clarkson I deeply loathe, but his humour always wins me back over.

Finished this the other week. Amazing show, overall just a ton of fun and really gives you a higher appreciation for the hard work farmers put into their jobs.
You can also tell they had some of the top gear / grand tour crew on this, since it was all really nicely shot and edited.
Great to hear there will be a season 2!.

Take it you never watched the Mrs Merton show? Don’t know if you are UK based, but we had a small bald magician called Paul Daniels who was married to his assistant the rather glamourous Debbie McGee.
The joke on the show was ‘tell me Debbie, what attracted you to multi millionaire Paul Daniels’
And that’s all I meant with my post.

I binged it. 100%. Absolutely brilliant. It's got the best of Top Gear/The Grand Tour in it.
Not surprising considering Andy Wilman is the executive producer and Gavin Whitehead one of the producers (along with presumably a lot of the Top Gear/TGT crew). And of course Clarkson's humour and knowledge of what people like. Plus the characters of everyone in it.

To be fair to The Grauniad, they do employ/hire some controversial people/shit stirrers to get those clicks* (and I guess paper sales). They're no better than the red tops in that sense, just with a veneer of intellectualism. But among that shit there is some good journalism going on there, and some is even quite funny.
Lucy Mangan (the writer of said one star review) is one of their worst. She didn't like the Harry Potter anniversary thing either for some reason (it's hard to discern from her ramblings why, but I guess it wasn't woke enough).
At least one Guardian writer liked Clarkson's Farm a lot though.
The comments sections are an utter mess. The wannabe intellectualism (or actual intellectualism to an excruciating degree and no fun) is rife there. Apparently Clarkson epitomises everything that is wrong with the UK...
*and let's be honest, we do click.

Jeremy Clarkson's lack of knowledge 'dangerous' on Clarkson's Farm
Kaleb Cooper, from Chipping Norton, appeared on This Morning today, claiming his co-star, Jeremy Clarkson, still has 'very little' farming knowledge.
No update on the new season....just a little tongue and cheek news.

I really enjoyed our man in Japan, hope that gets another season, it reminded me a bit of abroad in Japan
Even feature Ryotoro who appears on that show occasionally too.

I really enjoyed Our Man in Japan. Our Man in Italy is great too.
I've gone off Abroad in Japan. Chris Broad has achieved a lot and his film skills have really improved, but there's something off for me now. Perhaps the combination of YouTuber amateurness and glorification of anything Japanese. The fans are largely horrible to.

Check out the BBC series Adam and Joe Go Tokyo from the early 2000s. It's on YouTube.

I still watch occasionally, but I very rare watch YouTube in general, other than leaving music on, but noticed the thumbnails for recent videos are quite click bait looking for his newest journey across Japan videos, he said he hates that he needed to do that, but it's sadly the way to get views.
But I really find it a huge turn off personally.
Tams
Member
It's not just the thumbnails.
But I'm not going to rag on him any more, as he's done incredibly well for himself. Just not my cup of tea anymore.

For all the production values Abroad in Japan is in the absolute bottom tier of entertainment for me as far providing an insightful and intelligent look on life in Japan. I would rather just watch Japanese TV even though that is pretty trashy and scripted stuff most of the time. It's a shame that channels like that are the the face of English media for Japanese life.
Tams

Yeah, it's just one big weeb lovefest. Some of the 'relationships' in it are a bit forced too.
Oops, I said I'd rag no more. Chris Broad knows what sells though.

Christ, that brought me back. Was listening to Adams podcastat earlier by sheer coincidence his one with Stephen Merchant and Louix Theorou.
Used to watch the Adam and Joe show back on channel 4 as well, the Star Wars bits were genius.
