Jeremy Clarkson ‘s farming show has broken Amazon Prime Video viewing figures after the release of its second series and him begging fans to watch it.
The premiere of the return of the controversial motoring reporter’s Clarkson’s Farm was watched by 4.3million viewers, according to Barb, the audience research group.
The figures made it Amazon’s highest rated show since the company began reporting viewing figures more than two years ago, beating The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Love Island and the Brit Awards.

Jeremy. 62, had appealed to his fans to watch the latest series of Clarkson’s Farm amid reports he had been axed from Amazon Prime for good.
It came after reports that the former Top Gear presenter was being dropped from the streaming service amid calls for him and the show to be axed following caustic comments he made in a newspaper article about Prince Harry ‘s wife Meghan Markle.

In the article, published in The Sun, Jeremy wrote that he dreamed of the princess being forced to “parade naked” through British towns, prompting 25,100 complaints to The Independent Press Standards Organisation.
Jeremy subsequently admitted he had “put my foot in it” and was “profoundly sorry”, with him contacting the Royal couple to say sorry.
Earlier this week, Clarkson’s Farm right-hand man Kaleb Cooper, 24, shared a post of himself holding son Oscar as they watched the Amazon show, which charts the fortunes of the Oxfordshire property, called Diddly Squat, together.

He said: “Oscar loves Clarkson’s farm, that’s all he wants on, thank you all so much for the lovely messages. Cider in hand for refreshment of course.”
Last month, Kaleb revealed he and his fiancée Taya were expecting a baby girl as they continue to run the farm, owned by The Grand Tour presenter Jeremy – with a third series apparently already in the bag.
