>oi mate watch me act stupid for the camera and spend a million pounds on useless farm equipment

>>211557274 (OP)
Yep, it's kino

>>211557562
until you realize everything is scripted and whatever the farm makes dwarves in comparison to the shows profit. you could at least pretend he actually was trying to run a farm in S1. I'm at season 3 now and it feels more like a spanish telenovela.

>>211557274 (OP)
I couldn’t stand the grand tour for how over the top it was scripted, I understand this is scripted too, although it seems far more natural.

>>211557878
why would you care how much of a scripted show is scripted? the idiots on this site.

>>211557860
You're telling me Jeremy Clarkson isn't actually a struggling farmer? No fucking way my immersion is ruined.

>>211557952
It’s not the scripting that bothers me, it’s when it’s so blatant and wooden, absolutely no organic banter. With CF the banter seems less forced than TGT. I feel like they catered too much to brain dead yanks.

>>211558059
my point is there is no investment for the viewer and most stuff that happens was meticulously planned in some office. when they're trying to sell me a 1000 pound vet bill as something huge that needs to be groaned about I simply lose interest.

>>211557860
Wow, anon. You figured it out! Most farms aren't profitable at all. You struggle to break even, cover operating expenses, and buy supplies for next year. Of course the fucking show makes more money than an actual farm does. Are you daft? As for scripted, I'd hard press X on that one. The only parts I'd say were scripted were the tiny inbetween bits where clarkson references someone, kaleb/harriet don't get it, and clarkson groans and complains about the youth. Your crops getting fucked, animals need to be babysat constantly because the dumb fucks are hellbent on trying to off themselves in some bizarre way, and in my case, having to sit out in the back of a truck shooting coyotes all night because the fucks keep attacking the livestock guardians and trying to go after the lambs. I mean shit, I had a horse fucking disembowel itself on a fence post once running away from another horse that was nipping at him to assert dominance. They cut out a lot of the minor and tedious shit that goes wrong, too, otherwise you'd just be bored because hurr durr the irrigation ditch pipe broke for the 30th time, some fuck diverted too much water and yours dried up, livestock broke the fence, ground squirrel infestations, etc.

>>211557860
You do know whatever real farms make from produce is dwarfed by government subsidies right? Farming is not profitable at all without outside support and farmers are guaranteed to get that because it's the most vital sector we have. No farm runs off what they make growing crops and rearing sheep

>>211558696
Its very very simple. 1 Jeremy constantly says he is rich and doesnt rely on the farm for anything. 2 he is showing you what other farmers go through. You think he really has perfect animals without vet bills? You think it just rains during harvest only on his fields?
The point is you see the struggle of farmers presented by someone who you dont and shouldnt of course feel bad for but then go O shit man real farmers must have it so much worse. Thats the fucking point of the show simpleton. You arent supposed to feel bad for jeremy, but the other farmers.

>>211558909
In the US, major farms are extremely profitable. Family farms are not.

>>211558703
>he doesnt think the giant tractor that was too big wasn't scripted

>>211559076
the point of the show is Jermeny bought a farm for tax avoidance and he came up with an idea to make money off it

>>211559149
what do you mean scripted you mean he went and bought another fucking dumb tractor because he likes lambos?
Or them all arriving at once, because that ya.
>>211559227
No thats not the point retard. Unless you are proposing that the point of every show is to make money, in which case you need to be over 13 to post here. Sorry you dont understand artistic intent vs feeding yourself.

Got bored in S2 when they overdid the 'oh no the sheep have escaped!' gag. It's alright though.

>>211559076
>You arent supposed to feel bad for jeremy, but the other farmers.
that's not how tv shows work

>>211558703
It’s certainly scripted, not word for word, but Jeremy does X to piss of Caleb, Caleb enters scene and gives Jeremy shit

>>211559149
I fully believe he bought it for the show, yes. I also believe he really did use it, and did so because he's rich and trying to flex his wealth. And I'd be willing to bet it was actually as bad a piece of shit that constantly broke down as they made it out to be. For a former car journalist and enthusiast, he seems awfully retarded when it comes to basic mechanical knowledge and skill.

>>211559374
That's what I mean about the inbetween bits. But that's not the bulk of the show. Farming fucking sucks, and I'm not even a crop farmer, just a livestock one.

>>211559227
Jeremy is a rich aristocrat who inherited a massive farm and Paddington Bear. He never needed to work a day in his life.

But leftists told me farmers are all greedy bastards that's super rich?

>>211559347
yes it is. A show can ask you to think 1 foot beyond whats onscreen.

>>211557274 (OP)
>useless farm equipment
aren't there no blacks in the show?

>>211557860
>because its scripted it cant be entertaining
Huh wow

>>211559455
The lambo is a cheap tractor. Lambos are not the lambos of the tractor world. He actually keeps buying them because he is cheap and refuses to buy a proper tractor.

>>211559666
*badly scripted and very performative

>>211559605
when? Post proofs.

>>211559614
that's what fart smelling leftists think. they shower you with metaphors and then say it's deep when it really isn't. if they really wanted you to care about the other farmers then would've put them front and center.

>>211559683
Clearly. I guess I should word that as, He bought a lambo for the 'status symbol' the name brings for the majority of the world. Sure, a non farmer would hear lambo and immediately assume it's a luxury tractor. No disagreements there. And yes, he should have bought a real tractor when he had all of those brought in, and yes I agree that "bad timing" would be scripted. But him being a retarded boomer who gets confused by technology and only wants it to just werk and do everything he wants in a single button press is very believable.

>>211559323
>Unless you are proposing that the point of every show is to make money

that is literally the point of this show, there is no artistic intent, it's a comedy mockumentary style reality show you idiot

>>211559952
instead of what the repubs do which is cause a collpase in farming every time they take power. Look up trumps last term. He lost more farmers per year than anyone in ages, because of his policies. Actions not words retard.

>>211560354
hopeless.

>>211557860
Wow, this trvke really made the fanbois mald. Clarkson is a master at making scripted seem unscripted.

>>211560361
weak bait, I'm not even american

>>211560498
they had to bail out farmers to the tune of $32 billion anon

>>211559742
>funny scripted and funny and good

>>211558909
>farmers shouldn't even try since the goverment will bail them out anyway
they're businesses with the goal of earning an income
>>211561165
maybe in S1 but not S3

>>211561291
The bar story was fun and kinda educational. And richard ham was based

>>211559145
WRONG. They're only profitable with government subsidies. But guess who whines the most about "welfare queens" and "muh taxes"?

Why are pubs in the UK dying? I thought that was their biggest cultural relevance

>>211562612
Muslims don’t drink alcohol

>>211557274 (OP)
These "obscenely rich person spends a fortune doing something he has no experience in" reality shows are so fucking pointless.
Like "ha ha the audience will never have this much money in their lives and this guy is spending it in a single transaction buying the wrong kind of tractor ha ha"

Draconian Covid "lockdowns" combined with a culture of tattling busybodies calling the bobbies on their own neighbors didn't help.

>>211562612
mix of things.
>social media/internet has made people less willing to go out and socialise
>cultural cringe aimed at "old British" stuff so they'd rather go to a continental-style nightclub and drink party cocktails instead
>increased costs/increased awareness of spending makes sitting in a pub for hours 5-7 times a week seem like a poor use of money
>a lot of younger people simply have less of a desire to drink alcohol; rates of teetotalism is at record highs

>>211557860
Yeah. I saw a clip where they "caught" fish from their pond. The fish weren't even wriggling.

>>211562612
insane amounts of red tape for pub owners, and minimum £5 a pint for cheap piss in any pub when you can get 4 in lidl for the same price
