How was Autumn at Jimmy's Farm filmed?
Autumn at Jimmy's Farm was filmed during the coronavirus pandemic, which meant that the crew had to adapt to various COVID-related restrictions.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Jimmy Doherty said: "It was really interesting actually because lots and lots of things we couldn't do and working with the crew, making sure they were all safe so what happened was that the whole crew had to move into the farm."
"They all lived in the car park in their own winnebagos and camper-vans, all separated and then they all had their own separate tables in the restaurant isolated, the restaurant was closed."
He added: "Of course you can film from quite afar and social distancing wherever you can. When it comes to working on a farm or wildlife park, social distancing is important to us but for the workers some times, it's not always completely practical, for example, say a wallaby escapes and you have to restrain it, you can't really say 'I can't help you because of social distancing', but for crew, it was learning a whole new way of working."
Will there be another series of Jimmy's Farm?
While Autumn at Jimmy's Farm is still airing on Channel 4 at the moment, Jimmy recently hinted at another follow-up series revolving around the farm.
"I think there possibly will be [another series]," he told RadioTimes.com, "because people love to see what happens next because you'll see the breeding of our sheep this year, the tapir being pregnant and people like to see what happens next."
Autumn at Jimmy's Farm is available to watch on All4. To find out what else is on in the meantime, check out our TV Guide.
