Thanks for the "translation videos"! Though I can understand the comedic effect of Jeremy not understanding Gerald and thus leaving Gerald without subtitles to let the viewer experience the same, in movies it's sometimes done the same way when a protagonist doesn't speak a certain language, I still feel it would benefit the show to give him subtitles!
Just a quick outrage comment. Not against you or British agriculture but against the petty bureaucratic state that makes a farmer’s already hard life a crucifixion as Clarkson puts it. I raise 8 head of sheep in rural Montana (6 ewes and 2 rams). Do you know what my paper work is per year? 3 minutes on the Montana Department of Agriculture’s website for a sheep transport permit within state to take my lambs to the Public Auction Yards. Do you know what my costs are? $200 in hay per year (half my 10 acres are pasture, half are hayfield), $2 per scrapie tag per lamb ($10-$15 per year, I have non-seasonal sheep that give birth every 8-12 months), $50-$100 in vaccines/worming/bottle lamb feed, and the above mentioned sheep transport permit. That’s around $320 per year. It may be $500 in a bad year for extra hay and supplement. I sell my lambs either on Craigslist or at the Public Auction Yards for, since 2020, for $150-$200 per lamb. That’s $1500-$3000. Given my expenses of $500 that’s a profit of $1000-$2700 per year. Even on a bad year I made more then Clarkson in his first year by a factor of 5 and I did so on 10 acres and 8 producing animals. Yes, I know, if you scale it up you lose a lot and he has more equity in equipment… But the fact remains. I spent $500 to produce, potentially, $2700. He spent $300,000 to produce $200. Something’s broken here.

Great, as always. Thank you
