The second part of Clarkson's Farm season three has been released and with it, the heartwarming return of arguably the show's most treasured star.
Part one of the third season was full of bad news for Jeremy Clarkson and his Diddly Squat Farm team.
Starting with the closure of the farm restaurant, they went on a torrid run of rotten developments.

That included the bombshell revelation that beloved farmhand Gerald Cooper had been diagnosed with cancer, with Clarkson ringing around the best people in medicine he knew for advice on how he could help.
Gerald was absent from the first four episodes of the season as he dealt with his diagnosis and sought out the relevant help, with Jezza giving him all the time he needed to get on the mend.
With the second half of the season released on Amazon Prime Video today (10 May), millions will be tuning back in to watch the documentary that has quickly become one of the best television shows in recent years and certainly, one of the very top original products by Jeff Bezos' company.
Viewers don't have to wait long to finally catch a glimpse of Gerald back on Diddly Squat, doing what he does best - fixing walls.

"Hang on, no way. He's back, Gerald's back. I cannot believe it," a giddy Clarkson says, while driving his Land Rover through the 1,000-acre farm estate.
Approaching Gerald, Clarkson exclaims his excitement at seeing his friend once again.
"Hello there Jeremy," Gerald says. "Alright? Lovely to see you my man."
In their catch up, Gerald says 'he's getting there' as he gets straight back to fixing problems across the farm.

Gerald revealed he had been having radiotherapy to treat his prostate cancer, with 37 sessions already under his belt by this point in filming.
"I haven't got the all clear yet but you know, touch wood," he says.
Viewers are quickly treated to the Gerald they loved in the first two seasons, with him indistinctly explaining the treatment he had while pointing to different parts of his body.
Responding, Jeremy said: "This is the best description of cancer treatment I've ever heard, I think!
"You've no idea how much we've all missed you."

"It's nice to be back to see all my friends," Gerald says, while gesturing to the camera crew behind the scenes.
Later in the season as it comes to an end, Jeremy and the team look back on the milestones hit during filming.
While reflecting, Clarkson praises Gerald's fight against cancer.
"The G-Dog beat the Big C," he says.

Moved by the moment, a teary Gerald says: "I would like to thank everybody, all the film crew, and all my friends here.
"All of you have been so kind to me and my family, thank you very much."
