His destination was Diddly Squat, a farm on the edge of the Cotswolds owned by Jeremy Clarkson, television presenter, near-national treasure and coiner of that evocative equine analogy., a man who punched an underling for failing to provide a hot dinner, to strangely beloved guardian of the British countryside and YIMBY icon., a hit Amazon Prime show that began its third series last week. In the program, Clarkson struggles to breed pigs, break even and defeat NIMBYs on the local council.
Clarkson’s appeal to the traditional bore is more obvious.
