Jeremy Clarkson, well known for hosting Top Gear and Clarkson’s Farm, has been accused of having a fake scene in his TV series based on his farm in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire on the 28th of May 2025, when a young farm worker revealed she had never seen his show.

Harriet Cowan temporarily replaced long-standing farm worker, Kaleb Cooper, for part of Season 4 of Clarkson’s Farm. She told Clarkson that she had never watched an episode of the programme, which airs on Amazon Prime.

People watching the conversation when it was broadcast thought that the scene looked like it had been staged for TV, and even Cowan admitted in a later podcast interview, “it looked so fake”.

However, she continued, “But it is so real because we don’t watch telly,” stressing that farmers – like her husband – are busy and work hard so “the second he can rest, he’ll sleep, because he’s so tired all the time.”
