Overview

• Jeremy Clarkson says filming for the fifth series has finished and the production has paused on‑farm shooting to give the team a break.
• He described the past 12 months as a “conveyor belt of misery,” though he expects editors will find lighter moments in the footage.
• Diddly Squat Farm faced a bovine tuberculosis outbreak that triggered a two‑month lockdown and required the culling of infected cattle, including a cow pregnant with twins.
• Clarkson disclosed recent health problems, including a hospital visit that prompted him to slow down, which contributed to the tougher production year.
• No release date is confirmed, but outlets report Clarkson has suggested the new series is likely to arrive in spring 2026, with regulars such as Kaleb Cooper and Lisa Hogan returning.
