Clarkson's Farm producer reveals why the Jeremy Clarkson show could ultimately end

A fifth season of Clarkson's Farm is fast approaching, but the show's producer has provided an insight into why the Prime Video series will one day conclude.

Clarkson has previously shared his thoughts on when the series will ultimately end, previously saying that while they will "definitely" make six seasons, he will stop doing them "when there are no more ideas".

"But I've got two quite good ones, so we’ll do six and then we'll see," he said at the time.

Now Andy Wilman – producer and Clarkson's long-time collaborator – has said the show will only continue as long as Clarkson wants to do it.

"This is our third big show – Top Gear kind of got ended for us, I can’t say that was a plan," Wilman told the Extraordinary Life Stories podcast

"The Grand Tour, we brought that to an end, we planned that – we were like, we have to land the plane while it's still dignified and in the air and we’ve still got an audience.

"You can't do that thing where you make one film or one series too many and people say, 'No, this is b*****ks now,' it's a busted flush. So you have to discipline yourself to go, 'We end this now while we still have an audience.'

"The same will have to happen with the farm. I don't know when that is because you've got to remember it's Jeremy's show. It's his show because it's kind of his baby, whereas Grand Tour we all had ownership of.

"The farm is his baby and if at the end of a series he can think of something he wants to do for another series then he'll do it. But at the end of a series one day, he'll go, 'I cannot think of anything else to do or say' then that'll be the end of it. It hasn't happened yet but that's the agreement he has with Amazon."

So with no end in sight for Clarkson's Farm's (yet), there is plenty to look forward to in the upcoming episodes, with Wilman teasing a festive episode.

He said: "There's a scene coming up. It happens at Christmas time and there isn’t a lot of farming going on but there's Christmas at the pub, and it’s a little bit Vicar of Dibley Christmas special-ish in that the stories are there.

"Jeremy wants to make a Santa’s grotto so he has a meeting with Charlie talking about how he wants to do it and I think that's the best scene I’ve ever seen them do.

"I remember Jim the editor and I looking at it going, 'F**king hell, this is the best television to make ever.' When it goes out you'll see what I mean.

"Then Kaleb and Jeremy build the grotto and Kaleb's view on the creation of mankind is just blindingly brilliant."
