Jeremy Clarkson explains key difference between Clarkson’s Farm and The Grand Tour

Two of Prime Video's top shows star none other than Jezza

Jeremy Clarkson is known for entertaining millions of us through his long and rich history on television.

He became a household name through presenting the BBC's Top Gear for more than two decades over two different stints, and since controversially leaving the show he's successfully re-launched the latter end of his career through Amazon Prime Video.

And in particular, The Grand Tour alongside his former Top Gear mates Richard Hammond and James May.

In more recent years, it's seen him take a very different turn in his career through Clarkson's Farm.

A documentary show with two incredibly successful seasons under its belt, the third outing of Clarkson's Farm is set to air over on Prime Video - and you can watch for free if you're clever about it.

It follows Jezza as he swaps touring the world in all manner of vehicles for life on a 1,000-acre farm in the Cotswolds. But it's not quiet by any means, with him up to all sorts alongside the real star of the show, Kaleb Cooper.

And while the excitement remains for Clarkson after swapping Lamborghini cars for tractors, he told LADbible there's subtle but vital differences between his two Prime Video shows.

“You know, it's actually real, what you see actually happens. And none of it's planned. I mean The Grand Tour, everything was planned, literally everything, you know, ‘Richard move your eyebrow that much’," Clarkson said.

"Nothing is planned on this, nothing, I have no script.

"And every single day when we meet to do filming, every day, we'll have a vague idea of what we need to do, like I need to re-drill this field, we're doing season four now, so I need to redraw that field because I did it wrong the first time and I need to do this, I need to do that.

"So we'll meet actually tomorrow to do that.

"And I can guarantee we'll end up doing something completely different, because the weather will have changed or some fence will have fallen down or whatever it might be and you never ever know what you're going to do in farming, never.”

For Jezza, life on the farm gives him the freedom to be himself despite working in front of a camera crew - something he's accustomed to after decades in the TV industry.

He said: “I don't have time to pretend to be someone else. You see, The Grand Tour, Richard Hammond isn't as stupid as he's made out.

"I'm not as bombastic as it's made out, and James May isn't quite as boring as is made out. And so you're playing a caricature, you're playing a role, you know, you're there to provoke, you know, be stupid.

"Here, we haven't got any of that. So we're just ourselves, you know, we all just get up and have to be yourself, which is incredibly relaxing.

"And in that regard, it is effortless, but the television side of it is a piece of cake, but it's something that lots of you just get on and do it anyway."

Clarkson's Farm returns to Amazon Prime Video on Friday, 3 May.
