A producer on Clarkson's Farm has spoken about the show's future, and depending on whether you're an optimist or a pessimist you can really read what he says either way.
If you've watched pretty much anything with Jeremy Clarkson in it then you've likely seen the name 'Andy Wilman' in the credits.
If you've seen The Grand Tour then Clarkson, Hammond and May are often discussing the challenges that 'Mr Wilman' has thrown their way.
Wilman also produces Clarkson's Farm, and the third season of the immensely popular Prime Video show is fully released by now.

We won't spoil what happens in the latter episodes in case you're still working your way through it but there's a lot to love.
Viewers have really taken the Diddly Squat Farm crew to their hearts since Clarkson's Farm has been on the telly, as they're a very easy bunch to root for.
Unless of course you happen to be West Oxfordshire District Council, who've managed to end up as something of a villain throughout the show.
There's more of Clarkson wrangling with the council in season three as he tries to score what victories he can, and it's unlikely that the battle is over just yet as there is a fourth season on the way.

While filming for season four was underway, Wilman spoke to Deadline about the future of Clarkson's Farm and how long it might run on for.
The producer said he wasn't sure whether there would be a fifth season, and he's 'got no feelings on whether there’s a five or not'.
That might sound a bit worrying at first, but Wilman explained that the show will go on as long as they reckon Clarkson still has the appetite for doing it.
He said: "He’s a restless man, he needs work, he needs things to do. And he loves that farm, he’s really at peace in that place.
"He never saw this coming in his career at 64. He thought his big end moment was that we end The Grand Tour successfully.

"I’ve got no feelings on whether there’s a five or not. Jeremy’s the same. He’s like: 'when we’ve got nothing left to say, let’s walk away'."
An optimist might reckon that could mean we're in for a lot more Clarkson's Farm since Jeremy seems to enjoy life down on Diddly Squat and the show continues to be a major part of the UK's national conversation about farming.
Clarkson himself has also been batting away claims that the show is scripted and staged, while Kaleb Cooper has also said he gets people asking him whether what's happening on camera is real.
You'd hope it wasn't staged, otherwise the moments where poor Kaleb crashes against a metal barrier after forgetting to unclip has safety harness and has a tractor window explode right next to him with no eye protection might raise a few eyebrows.

Season three of Clarkson's Farm is available to stream now on Prime Video.
