Clarkson is still a massive piece of poo poo, but this was ten times more enjoyable than the vast, vast majority of Grand Tour. I'm sure scripted to hell and back, it just worked a lot better.

I would imagine anything that wasn't just Clarkson (and possibly his girlfriend) wasn't scripted beyond Clarkson doing something silly and then filming the other party's reaction. A good chunk of it is probably also just framing of shots and scenes to make them look sillier in context.

Don't need to script things when you shoot hundreds of hours for every episode

100% of it was scripted, all TV is scripted. They repeat the joke until it's funny. Old school Top Gear did it every episode.

How exactly do you script a lamb birthing?

Farmers have figured out how to predict pregnant animals will give birth for quite some time now? Is Jeremy funny off the cuff? Sure. But if it doesn't work the first time they'll reshoot the same spontaneous joke as many times as it takes until the participants are satisfied that it was funniest with those pauses, and that emphasis.

I don't want to even remember how many times they had to go back hours later and reshoot the "spontaneous" improv songs in Whose Line Is It Anyway at the taping I was in the audience for one time.

Let me clarify, they were improvised, but for half the bits they would have to reshoot them for some dumb reason or other and they would come back to it after doing six hours of returning-from-commercial applause shots to do a pick-up take where they had to remember they lyrics they'd made up that morning and sing them again and burst out laughing at each other like they'd just come up with them right then.

I thought the bit where Calum turns up in his Nissan 350(?) was a cynical attempt to paint Jeremy in a good light - 'see, I'm paying him well enough he can afford his dream car!'

Yeah they scripted the worst environmental swings in a generation and the covid pandemic. Clarkson the top gear/grand tour presenter is a character that plays up stereotypes that he only partially believes in. Clarkson the commentator/columnist is a slightly different take on the same character. Clarkson the documentary filmmaker is more close to his real person. Clarkson the real human being is mostly normal. Clarkson the farmer is a blend of all 4.

For those that have watched Clarkson Farm, is there any animal death/butchering or anything in it? I’m watching it with some folks that recently had a traumatic animal experience, and don’t want it to be triggering for them. Plus, I don’t really want to see Clarkson kill a chicken or pig or something.

I don't remember there being anything graphic, but there's a sequence where he drops some sheep off at the slaughterhouse. It's surprisingly melancholy for a Clarkson thing.

There's also that one that died after he tried to nurse it back to health.Deteriorata posted:Which we find out later was completely faked, another Clarkson gimmick.

It's not unheard of for someone to get surprisingly affected taking an animal to slaughter for the first time and then get over it later since that was always the plan eventually.

There's no slaughterhouse action but several animals do pass away of natural causes and are shown onscreen. A couple of lambs don't make it and a ram passes away. Otherwise, some sheep are delivered to an abotoir but only the empty pen is shown. Clarkson later claims to eat them.

I've seen many a documentary about farm life / introducing city folk to farm life where people get sad about animals being killed but then still being fine with eating them. This is not fake or gimmick.

In the episode with the sheep shearing, Ellen sounds just like Kaleb and I assumed she was related to Gerald and Kaleb since according to the credits, it appears Gerald is Kaleb’s dad (same last name), but Ellen has a different last name. E: also - the small town folk that live in the Cotswalds village near Clarkson have to absolutely hate him considering the traffic jams when he posted on Twitter for his shop

Are you really detached from the reality enough that you think this is intentional and not just one thing on the road for a sheep farmer? It is one thing to deliver (and separate) them yourself, than sending the main herd off when they are up to be sold. It is two different things to deliver something to be killed, and hearing that your lifestock, which was sent to a processing facility, is done with.

Never understand why people who hate the guy so much waste their time watching his show. Or if you haven’t watched it, why you think your opinion is needed.

 Move over, Farmer Clarkson. That sidekick, Kaleb Cooper, is outstanding in your field quote:Like many TV stars, Kaleb Cooper is mobbed by fans wherever he goes. On a birthday trip to Stratford-upon-Avon last weekend he was asked for selfies by a gaggle of England football supporters, and women on a hen night told Cooper that seeing him had made their day.

Stupid thing is that I tried to watch the trailer on Amazon Prime first, but they didn't have it. So I had to look up the trailer for the Amazon Prime release on YouTube. That seems... counterproductive for Amazon Prime.
