Jeremy Clarkson and team returns for more Diddly Squat antics in Clarkson's Farm Series 5
Inheritance Tax protests, badly behaved sheep and serious health scares dominate life at Diddly Squat as Clarkson's Farm returns for its new series.
The Amazon Prime Video starring former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, his farm manager Kaleb Cooper and long-suffering agent, ‘Cheerful' Charlie Ireland et al, will launch on June 3, where fans will be able to binge the first four episodes. A further two will be released on June 10 with the final instalments coming on June 17.

The series opens with Mr Clarkson stricken by a major health scare, leaving him under strict doctors' orders to take it easy. But, as you would expect, for Mr Clarkson rest is not an option. A new flock of Easy Care sheep arrives to help lighten the load, however the pub's ongoing issues, its first festive season to navigate, and a government budget that has sent shockwaves through the UK farming community makes slowing down impossible.

A visit to the UK's biggest agricultural expo inspires him to take the farm hi-tech, resulting in a baffled Kaleb taking his first journey abroad - a road trip to the Netherlands - where cutting-edge farms seal the deal and the rise of the machines begins.
Back at Diddly Squat, the team are trying to embrace new technology and the Cotswolds' fields are scanned with lasers and robot tractors. It is a glimpse, as members of the team point out, what the future of farming could look like, if that future was run by an impatient 65-year-old and his antagonistic young farm manager.
However, in the climactic episodes, things turn dark with producers saying ‘bad luck strikes from every direction', causing massive upset and tension in every way possible.
