Jeremy Clarkson has spoken out following the release of Clarkson's Farm season three after rumours of the show being 'scripted and staged' were mentioned.

Diddly Squat Farm has returned to Amazon Prime Video for a third outing in four years, marking five years since Clarkson took over the day-to-day running of the Oxfordshire farm he has owned since 2008.

It's been viewed by millions of subscribers, catapulting itself to the top of Prime Video's most-watched chart.

The show has been another whirlwind journey, full of emotional returns and rather outlandish demands.

Loads of people have been giving their say on the show, too, with one farmer explaining why the season finale did a good job at highlighting 'the problem' with the industry. Others have offered their thoughts on where Kaleb Cooper should turn his attention next in the land of TV.

But as always with any show that is shot documentary-style, some people aren't convinced that what we're being shown is real life for Clarkson, Lisa Hogan, Kaleb, and Charlie Ireland.

To be fair to the cynics, the show is packed to the brim with gripping moments whether that's making us laugh or making us cry.

Season three also introduces us to Clarkson's hovercraft for spreading fertiliser and his use of a Henry vacuum cleaner to forage berries.

Despite all the moments that make for truly fantastic television, Clarkson has one simple message to those who doubt the show's authenticity.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) following the season of part two of the third season, Clarkson wrote: "Once again, thank you for all the kind words about the second half of series three. I hope you enjoy four as much."

Responding, one fan said: "One of the best programmes you’ve created. Not that it takes much creating. Your job of simply running the farm and highlighting the issues of British farming makes for excellent television.

"A superb job you’re all doing."

Jezza replied, stating: "You’re dead right. It isn’t created or written or planned. The cameras just film us doing stuff."

Despite this, some aren't convinced.

Another X user replied: "Come on Clarkson, there has to be some stuff planned. Nobody could hit the Amazon streaming jackpot like Clarkson's Farm has without any scripts or planning.

"But either way I think it's a great show and keep it up."

Someone else said: "There's absolutely some scripting. Maybe not word for word, but some scenes are clearly planned. I don't care though. Best show on TV for a long time."

Whether scenes are or aren't scripted, planned, or mapped out in advance, fans clearly aren't too fussed given the authentic image the show presents when it comes to the struggles British farming faces.

James Rebanks, a sheep farmer and prize-winning author, claimed the show did more for farming in one season than the BBC's Countryfile has done in three decades.
