YouTuber translates what Gerald from Clarkson's Farm is actually saying

Loved by all viewers of Clarkson's Farm, it can often be tough to understand what Gerald is on about

Impossible to dislike, viewers of Clarkson's Farm cherish every moment the documentary decides to bring beloved 'head of security' Gerald on to our screens.

The only problem with his often heartwarming clips is that, well, you can't really understand what he's on about. That is except for one man who thinks he's cracked it.

Gerald Cooper forms one of Jeremy Clarkson's close bunch of trusted individuals when it comes to life on Diddly Squat Farm, with him working on the farm for half a century under its previous farmer until their retirement in 2019.

Alongside the likes of his partner Lisa Hogan, Kaleb Cooper, and Charlie Ireland, the small team have graced Amazon Prime Video for the past few years as Jezza takes on life as a full-time farmer.

Farming a 1,000-acre plot in the heart of the idyllic Cotswolds sounds like heaven, but the first two seasons of Clarkson's Farm on Prime Video showed us just how much hard work goes in to making not very much money at all.

Clarkson has tried to diversify the farm's income streams - although some of them have been forcefully shut down by the powers at be.

It's the people who run the farm with Clarkson that make the show as popular as it is, including Gerald. The farmhand, who is believed to be 75, lives a quiet life. According to Clarkson, Gerald has 'never been outside the village and worked on the farm for 50 years'.

That much time spent in the same spot has seen him develop an extremely thick West Country farmer accent to the point where show editors put subtitles on our screens when Gerald is chatting away to a confused looking Clarkson.

But the subtitles even disappear at some moments, with everyone left a little puzzled as to what he's on about.

One YouTuber thinks he has the answer to our dialect problems.

Jason Coulls, a self-described 'bit of a geek', took to his channel to have a deep dive in to one scene from the second season of the show. It showed Clarkson and Gerald harvesting a field of wheat, with Gerald's commands leaving Clarkson completely perplexed.

Jason says: "Throughout the show, one of the running jokes is that Jeremy Clarkson can't understand a word that comes out of Gerald's mouth.

"And on social media and looking around the web, it's very apparent that other people can't tell what's coming out of his mouth.

"However, some of us do recognise this accent from a long, long time ago. And you know, I for one, I'm actually quite happy to see something like this documented."

Jason when shares the funny clip from season one but with his own subtitles added. And voila; it suddenly looks a lot more sensical.

His subtitles say: "I can lead it Jeremy as long as you keep alongside at a certain pace and not too fast, I can do the loading, alright. I was gonna say, if you're just taking off like a racing car I can't keep up with you."

But even Jason is a little lost in a few bits that Gerald says - something he believes may be down to the audio purposely being jumbled up for comedic effect.

"As you can see, he's not totally unintelligible, he does actually talk sense," Jason says.

"However, there are still parts of that scene that have been chopped up again.

"I think what the problem really comes down to, these accents were a lot more common in the old days when towns and villages were smaller, but the average urban person now isn't exposed to this type of accent any longer. So it's very, very foreign sounding to them.

"Anyway, I'm glad that they recorded this because you know, an accent like this, there's probably not too many people beyond Gerald that will be carrying on with accents like this, as things are slowly dying out in the countryside."

Season three of Clarkson's Farm heads to Prime Video on Friday, 3 May and new members can sign up for a 30-day free trial.
