Jeremy Clarkson has shared a grave warning that the final two episodes of Clarkson's Farm series five will be utterly heartbreaking. The new series has had plenty of highs and lows already, from the concerning hilarity of making a woman vomit after eating a uterus to the tough realities of farming and the trials your beloved animals face. As we careen towards the series finale, landing on Amazon Prime Video at 8am on Wednesday, June 17, he's already telling fans to get ready for a seriously depressing turn of events.
Taking to Instagram, he shared the good news that Hawkstone, his lager and cider brand, has secured a prime ad slot ahead of the England World Cup match tomorrow evening. Then, he continued on a more morose note: '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,' he said.
It's not entirely clear what may happen in the final two episodes, but viewers are bracing for impact with Jeremy seeming visibly shaken in his video. 'I cried at the last episode. I better get my tissue box ready! Hope you're all okay,' jodine-boothby wrote. '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,' cotswoldsgent shared. '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,' emmabarton4622 echoed. 'I'll get the tissues AGAIN,' tasha82 agreed.
What does metro think of Clarkson's Farm series 5
Metro's Senior TV Reporter shares her two-star review… After the Top Gear star's health scare last year, season five picks up in the aftermath, with his need for a 'no stress' environment quickly becoming a running gag. In fact, Jeremy not being allowed to get involved with the hands-on labour is the thrust of the storyline for much of the start of the season. The usual scrapes and cuts take on a far more life-threatening slant, to say the least. The pub has become the new farm, in a way, as Jeremy tackles teething issue after teething issue – from blocked toilets to the eye-popping energy bill. I must caveat that there is nothing necessarily wrong with this season. You can read the full review here.
The series is certainly no stranger to more emotional moments. Earlier in this series, viewers were moved to tears when the Top Gear star had to say goodbye to his pigs in a teary farewell. Although the emotional sequence also raised some alarm bells over what had happened to the well-loved Richard Ham, affectionately named after Jeremy's Top Gear co-star. Luckily, online reports seem to indicate he's okay. Meanwhile, the series started on a dramatic note after the TV presenter was taken ill and rushed to hospital, fearing he was having a heart attack. In the end, he was okay but was advised to take things slower on the farm, a task that proved more challenging than he thought if the new series is anything to go by.
Clarkson's Farm is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now. Episodes seven and eight will release at 8am on Wednesday, June 17.
