Jeremy Clarkson has issued a somber warning that the concluding two episodes of Clarkson's Farm series five will be deeply emotional. The latest season has already featured a mix of humorous and challenging moments, from the comedic yet concerning incident involving a woman vomiting after eating a uterus to the harsh realities of farming and the struggles faced by animals. As the series approaches its finale, set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video at 8am on Wednesday, June 17, Clarkson is preparing viewers for a significant downturn in tone.
Clarkson's Instagram Announcement
Taking to Instagram, Clarkson first shared positive news about his Hawkstone lager and cider brand securing a prime advertising slot before the England World Cup match. He then shifted to a more melancholic tone, stating: 'Somber news, Clarkson's Farm. Ordinarily, we try to keep the show bucolic and charming and cheerful but the final two episodes are none of those things, really. They're a difficult watch, they're really, really difficult.' The exact events of these episodes remain unclear, but Clarkson appeared visibly shaken in his video, prompting fans to brace for impact.
Fan Reactions
Viewers have expressed their anticipation and concern. One fan, jodine-boothby, wrote: 'I cried at the last episode. I better get my tissue box ready! Hope you're all okay.' Another, cotswoldsgent, commented: 'You promised us warts 'n' all, so here we are. This is the most real insight to farming that anyone on here (who isn't involved in farming) has ever seen.' Emma Barton echoed: 'Farming is not for the faint hearted. It's hard and it's horrible then it's great and glorious. You have done an incredible job of showing it warts and all.' Tasha82 agreed: 'I'll get the tissues AGAIN.'
Season 5 Overview
Following Clarkson's health scare last year, season five begins with his need for a stress-free environment becoming a recurring joke. Much of the early season focuses on Clarkson being barred from hands-on labor, with typical farm mishaps taking on a more serious tone. The pub has essentially become the new farm, as Clarkson deals with issues like blocked toilets and high energy bills. While the season is not inherently flawed, it offers a raw and honest portrayal of farming life.
Previous Emotional Moments
The series has had its share of emotional scenes, such as Clarkson's tearful goodbye to his pigs earlier this season, which also raised questions about the fate of Richard Ham, named after his Top Gear co-star. Reports suggest the pig is fine. The season began dramatically when Clarkson was rushed to hospital fearing a heart attack; he recovered but was advised to take it easier, a challenge evident throughout the series.
Clarkson's Farm is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, with episodes seven and eight releasing at 8am on Wednesday, June 17.
