You can tell watching it that he really, really enjoys the farm and has tons of fun shooting it.

There is one more after this. Even though I like Clarkson's Farm and Our Man In.... more I'm going to miss these.

My fiancé was telling me last night there's this one, Sand Job, and one last one coming after? Sad to see the boys wrapping it up, but it was bound to happen eventually. I grew up watching Top Gear UK. I'm in the US so I didn't have access to BBC so I had to torrent them. Good times man.

How bad are the adverts? Are they before, during or after? Or all three?

Ambitious but rubbish.
I'm happy that the boys had some fun and misery along the way, once again.

there are some scripted jokes, but most seems to be genuine commentary.

I think I have a free prime trial again so maybe I will finally get around to catching up on the past few episodes.

Yes, because it's a TV show.
Here are a few more "lies" they did, just for curiosity sake.
During Top Gear, those 3 never bought a car. It was always the producers that searched the ads, picked 3 cars for each. Then each presenter would choose one, and a producer would go and get the car.
Most often than not, the presenters would only see their car, on the day of the shooting.
This is why we got the problem with the license plates in Argentina. In that case, it was Clackson that demanded a Porsche 948, for the reasons he told during that special.
The problem is that it was a producer that saw the ad, went to that persons house to buy it. He took a Porsche mechanic to check the car was good. They paid for it and immediately shipped it to Argentina.
No one even glanced at the number plate, until they saw the car in Argentina.
Another "lie" was the bamboo bridge over the river cock. The reality is that it was a steel bridge, covered with bamboo sticks. This was confirmed by May a few years ago to some fans on the street.
Another "lie" is that a good amount of B-footage is not done by any the 3 presenters. Usually it's done by the a professional driver. Usually the Ben Collins.

I think the Argentinians took a leap on the plate stuff thinking the British were taunting them. It was really a dumb manufactured outrage by argentine agitators.
It is not a surprise that a TV show acts like a TV show.

It was. Just consider that they went across half of Argentina with no incidents.
