Filming for season 4 of Clarkson’s Farm was temporarily halted after Jeremy Clarkson and the crew couldn’t miss an important moment.
The third season of the Amazon Prime series hit screens in May and quickly broke viewing records, at the time becoming the second most-watched show of 2024 on all major streaming services in the UK.
The show follows the former Top Gear star’s, 64, haphazard attempts to run his own 1,000-acre Oxfordshire farm, with the help of farm manager Kaleb Cooper, land agent Charlie Ireland, ‘head of security’ Gerald Cooper, and his partner Lisa Hogan.
A camera crew is currently on location filming for the upcoming fourth season, but this weekend they briefly paused the project.
Explaining just why, Jeremy posted a video on social media showing the crew huddled in a small room before the camera panned and showed them all crowded around a TV.
‘Busy filming Clarkson’s Farm 4,’ he joked while showing them taking a break while tuning into England’s Euro 2024 match against Switzerland, which happened on Saturday and saw the Three Lions advance to Wednesday’s semifinal against Netherlands after a 5-2 shootout.
However, a camera did appear to be filming the match.
Fans loved the insight into how filming is going, with many supporting the break to tune into the football.
‘An important production meeting. Go GB,’ Christa commented on Instagram.
‘This is golden,’ Matthew shared
Meanwhile, Steven questioned why they weren’t drinking some Diddly Squat beer too.
‘Why haven’t they got any Hawkstone in hand !!!!’
Despite the eventual celebrations, there have been several obstacles for Clarkson and co. on Diddly Farm.
Last month it was reported the overall running of Diddly Squat was under threat after this summer’s bleak weather forecast looks set to affect their ability to produce profitable crops.
Despite May being the hottest on record in the UK, the ongoing thunder and rain have yet to make way for a sunny summer, conditions left those at the farm worried.
It’s going to be a rough year. All that seed sowed, drowned with the constant rain,’ the official Diddly Squat Instagram account shared.
The post included an aerial photo taken of three fields that, although green, were patchy throughout and showed seeds that had been sowed washed away.
