How much did Jeremy Clarkson pay for Diddly Squat Farm?

The new season of Clarkson’s Farm revealed the Top Gear star is losing money from his Diddly Squat project, but how much did he pay for it initially?

He famously only made £144 profit in his first year of farming.

Jeremy Clarkson is back on screens with a fifth season of Clarkson’s Farm, which premiered last week and will return with two more episodes on Wednesday, 10th June.

In the latest instalment of Prime Video’s hit series, Jeremy takes farming to the next level with an awe-inspiring self-driving tractor which even Kaleb Cooper reluctantly admitted was rather impressive.

However, despite his pub The Farmer’s Dog being fully booked every day, Jeremy is still struggling to turn a profit and recorded a loss of more than £8000.

But how much money is the entire project bringing in and how much did Jeremy pay for the farm initially?

Let’s take a look at fans’ burning financial questions ahead of Clarkson’s Farm returning for episodes five and six later this week.

How much did Jeremy Clarkson pay for Diddly Squat?

Although the series started in 2021, Jeremy has actually owned Diddly Squat Farm since 2008.

According to the Daily Mail, he bought it for an eye-watering sum of £4.45 million.

The 1000-acre Cotswolds farm was originally known as Curdle Hill Farm before Jeremy renamed it to reflect his prediction for how much his latest project would earn.

He told The Times about his surprising purchase: “Land is a better investment than any bank can offer. The Government doesn’t get any of my money when I die. And the price of the food that I grow can only go up.”

Jeremy didn’t go full-time on the farm until 2019, however, after former manager Howard Pauling had retired.

How much is Diddly Squat worth now?

Diddly Squat Farm has steadily increased in value since its original purchase in 2008, partly thanks to the luxurious six-bedroom mansion built on the site of the demolished previous home.

All in all, the farm is currently estimated to be worth a staggering £12.5 million, which also includes the land, the farm shop and the café.

Meanwhile, The Farmer’s Dog pub was bought by Jeremy in 2023 for £1 million.

Although it’s unclear how much Jeremy’s refurbishments have increased the pub’s worth, they sadly reported a loss of £8,486 in its first four months of trading.

Jeremy and the cast and crew earn most of their money from their salaries for producing the show, which are kept under wraps.

Reports from 2024 indicated the farm’s assets are worth around £1.43 million, though its profits are usually in the low hundreds if they make any at all.

“I could sell the farm and earn far more from the interest than I do from growing bread and beer and vegetable oil,” Jeremy admitted.

“But I like having it and for very good reasons, there are no death duties on farmland. So my children like me having it too.”

Clarkson’s Farm season 5 continues Wednesday on Prime Video.

‘Breath of fresh air’ comedy starring Martin Clunes is your next one-night binge

The comedy, which originally aired on the BBC in 2019, stars Martin Clunes and Lisa Millett

Martin Clunes ‘breath of fresh air’ sitcom is available to stream for free.

The 6-part show Warren, which first aired on BBC back in 2019, is the perfect one-night binge if you have a few hours to spare.

The comedy features Martin portraying a discontented 50-something driving instructor, Warren Thompson, who is compelled to relocate up north after his partner’s father falls seriously ill.

Despite craving a peaceful existence, Warren finds himself in a place he detests, undertaking a job he’s unsuited for with a family he never anticipated caring for – and is repeatedly drawn into self-created problematic scenarios.

. The synopsis adds: “Warren has a way of knowing best and speaking his mind that inevitably leads to conflict, chaos and disaster for those around him – and especially for himself.

“Warren doesn’t embrace the concept of growing old gracefully. He’s quite happy to keep railing against the world and trying to right perceived wrongs against him. There are no happy endings for Warren as he grapples with the problems and misunderstandings of his own making.”

Starring alongside Martin is Lisa Millett (Robin Hood), who portrays his partner, Anne. The cast also features Tim Preston (One Day) as Charlie, Oscar Morgan (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) as Danny and Neil Edmond (Ghosts) as Ian.

While the programme got mixed critical responses, it’s still worth the watch if you’re a Martin Clunes fan and fancy seeing him embody a grumpy, discontented character not far from his legendary role as Doc Martin in the ITV medical drama.

The programme was scored comparatively unfavourably by critics, who collectively rated it at 17 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.

In its one-star assessment, The Telegraph wrote: “Warren is at once underwritten and, worse, overwritten. There is a failure to follow through with the comic potential in a southerner trapped in the north.”

Meanwhile The Times added: “[Clunes’] nuanced comic turn deserved something rather better than Warren, with its overreliance on comedy staples – a shonky clairvoyant and a competitive next-door neighbour.”

Despite the negative critical response, the show proved more of a hit with viewers and currently holds a 69 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes.

“This comedy is really well written and a breath of fresh air,” remarked one viewer. “I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. I seldom laugh out loud, even when humorous, but this had me really laughing.”

Another commented: “Absolutely hysterical, so well written, I don’t understand why they are not making a series 2!”, while a third noted: “It takes an episode or two but it does grow on you. Interesting premise and quite funny. I’m sorry that there isn’t a second series.”

All six episodes of Warren are available to stream on Prime Video

Will there be a season 6 of The Boys?

The Boys season 5 finale featured some major deaths and poignant full circle moments.

Superhero series The Boys aired its season 5 finale today on Prime Video and fans are already asking if there’s more to come.

The Boys first debuted back in July, 2019, where fans were introduced to the likes of Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid), Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), Annie January (Erin Moriarty) and maniacal villain Homelander (Antony Starr).

Today on May 20, 2026, the final episode of episode 5 aired, bidding farewell to many characters while indicating what the future might hold for them.

But is this the end of The Boys? And is Eric Kripke finished with Vought and the world of supes? *Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Boys finale.*

Will there be a season 6 of The Boys?

According to Prime Video, season 5 was the final season of The Boys, with most of these characters appearing on our screens for what will probably be the last time.

This won’t come as a big shock to fans who have watched the season 5 finale, which gives most of the show’s biggest characters a clear ending.

As many predicted, Butcher finally defeats Homelander in an epic battle in the Oval Office of the White House, which leaves him stripped of his powers and begging for his life.

Meanwhile, Butcher also meets his end at the hands of Hughie, who shoots him to prevent him from unleashing their supe-killing virus upon the world.

Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) travels to France to see the sights and eat the food she and Frenchie (Tomer Capone) talked about, while MM (Laz Alonso) reunites with his family and finally gives Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) a stable home.

It is also revealed Hughie now runs his own electronics store with a now-pregnant Annie, who still works as a real-life superhero, saving people.

Finally, the last episode of season 5 confirms the survival of Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan Li (London Thor) and Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), after Gen V was cancelled last month.

One character whose fate remains uncertain is Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), but fans won’t have long before they see him again.

What’s next for The Boys?

While The Boys might be over, there is still more to come from the show’s wider universe, with a spin-off already on the way.

New prequel series Vought Rising, which takes place decades before The Boys, is set to premiere in 2027.

The 1950s show about the origins of Vought will see the return of Soldier Boy as well as Clara Vought (Aya Cash), who was a love interest for Homelander in season 2 of The Boys.

We will also meet a new roster of Vought superheroes, who were the first successful test subjects of V1.

Another spin-off called The Boys: Mexico, in development under Gareth Dunnet-Alocer and executive produced by Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, is reportedly also in the works.

In 2025, Eric Kripke told Collider: “The pilot of [The] Boys: Mexico is being developed right now. It’s very cool.

“I mean, who knows? Obviously you never know, but I can say that the world itself meets the standard of all of our spin-offs. It’s our world but a totally different tone, and it’s super fun.

“Gael and Diego are executive producers, which is amazing and [they] really engaged with it. Short answer is we’ll see, but I think the script is good.”

The Boys season 5 is now available to stream in full on Prime Video.

Phenomenal period war drama ‘better than Gladiator’ is a ‘masterpiece’

The epic period war drama has enthralled critics and audiences world-over, earning glowing praise from all quarters, with viewers comparing it to the brilliance of Gladiator.

Fans of iconic filmmaker Ridley Scott and his cult classic Gladiator are in for a treat, because there’s another film by the director that viewers feel is giving his OG period war masterpiece a run for its money. With a screenplay penned by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Nicole Holofcener, the 2021 epic historical war drama has enthralled critics and audiences world-over, earning glowing praise from all quarters — and it’s streaming on Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video.

Viewers can’t stop raving about Scott’s 2021 film, The Last Duel, which stars Jodie Comer ( Killing Eve ) in the titular role, alongside Adam Driver and Damon. Affleck also has a supporting role in the movie, and the stars are joined by Harriet Walter, Alex Lawther, and Serena Kennedy to round out a stellar supporting cast.

Filmed in France and Ireland, Scott’s epic period drama is one that most people haven’t heard of, owing to its release during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in October 2021.

Based on true events, the film’s official plot summary states: “Jean de Carrouges is a respected knight known for his bravery and skill on the battlefield. Jacques Le Gris is a Norman squire whose intelligence and eloquence make him one of the most admired nobles in court. The two knights must fight to the death after Carrouges’s wife, Marguerite, accuses Le Gris of assault. The ensuing trial by combat, a gruelling duel to the death, places the fate of all three in God’s hands.”

Garnering largely positive reviews from both critics and audiences, The Last Duel has made its mark, especially when it comes to the period war drama genre.

One critic said of the film: “A brutal, harrowing, intriguing, stunningly well-made film that will linger in your thoughts for quite some time.”

While another reviewer lavished praise on the director: “Ridley Scott delivers one of his best works in years with this brutal, righteous, superbly acted historical drama.”

A third critic said of the historical epic: “With the stakes set so high, Scott rises to the challenge and delivers a brutal, visceral ‘last duel’ with complex narrative designs and a phenomenal carousel of performances.”

While one reviewer simply declared: “Trust us when we say this is a cinematic epic.”

Audience reviews follow in a similar vein, with one fan saying: “A classic Ridley Scott’s work. A masterpiece.”

While another viewer writes: “Brilliant historic epic, beautifully filmed and captivating characters. If you like historical dramas, this is a great film for you”

A glowing IMDB user review of The Last Duel states: “Ridley Scott is the Master of this Genre for a reason. Best director you can find for this kind of visual storytelling is Ridley Scott, and believe me, he’s still top of his game. To be honest, I don’t think that Gladiator was a best picture because of Ridley’s effort, I think it was Russel’s incredible performance. But this movie shines because of Ridley’s awesome visual style.”

While another impressed audience member commented: “[Ridley] Scott certainly gives us a big, bloody and savage movie. Indeed of all his films, this could be the one most likely to appeal to fans of ‘Gladiator’. It’s a fantastic-looking film. There is so much about ‘The Last Duel’ that is smart, funny and totally unexpected that it just might turn out to be the most unlikely multiplex movie of the year.”

Another IMDB review of the period drama (and Ridley Scott’s brilliance) states: “This is, I think it could be argued, in the absolute top tier of Ridley Scott’s filmmaking oeuvre. More than that — and this might be more controversial, but I stand by it — I think it’s his best film, and that it isn’t close.

“This is a Rashomon-style multiple-viewpoints epic with lavish production values, superb acting across the board from a powerhouse cast, and supremely subtle and skilful directing. It is thoughtful, impactful cinema that should be part of the conversation about the best outings in historical filmmaking.”

The Last Duel is available to stream on Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video.

The Summer I Turned Pretty fans hit with two-word warning after ‘safety concerns’

Filming is underway for The Summer I Turned Pretty movie, but producers are facing unexpected ‘disruption’

The Summer I Turned Pretty producers have issued a two-word warning to fans after fearing for the safety of cast members.

It’s been less than a year since the final episode of the cherished romantic drama landed on Prime Video. Just as viewers thought the Fisher love triangle had reached its conclusion, the streaming service delivered the unexpected news that the franchise would wrap up with a feature-length film.

Production officially began on April 27 in Wilmington, North Carolina, the identical setting used for the previous three series. However, with merely one week of shooting underway, the show’s makers have squashed fans’ wishes to catch a glimpse behind the curtain of the production process.

Within the short filming period, crowds of viewers have already assembled at the shooting locations, catching sight of the leading cast members – Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno – as they slip back into character during boat scenes and intense exchanges, reports the Mirror US.

Showrunners have evidently had their fill and requested supporters not to attend the set or publicise filming whereabouts. On social media, the programme’s creators posted footage of the message “Privacy Please,” being inscribed into sand by production staff.

Alongside the seaside footage, they posted: “We love the excitement, but sharing locations and visiting set disrupts filming and creates real safety concerns for our cast and crew.

“We’re working hard to create a protected bubble to make the best movie possible. Please help us protect the magic of Cousins until it’s ready to be shared.”

Supporters rushed to the comments section with apologies, with one writing: “Sorry girl we got excited.”

Amazon replied to the fan: “Just as excited as you and we want the wait to be worth it. We appreciate everyone who keeps it calm for our cast and crew!”

Devotees have been eagerly awaiting a peek at production since the final episode broadcast on September 17. The series concluded with Lola’s character Belly and Christopher’s Conrad heading back to his Cousins Beach property as a couple.

The season initially kicked off with Belly starting university while in a relationship with Conrad’s brother Jeremiah, played by Gavin. Throughout the episodes, Belly discovers her then-partner had been unfaithful, sparking a brief split which ultimately culminates in an engagement.

On the eve of Belly and Jeremiah’s nuptials, Conrad admits he still harbours feelings for her years after they were together.

Consumed by conflicting emotions, Belly flees the country mere hours before she was due to marry his brother. She subsequently spends several months residing in Paris, before an unexpected guest arrives: Conrad.

Following a brief reunion in the French capital on her birthday, old feelings are reignited and the pair decide to give their romance another chance.

Belly remains in Paris before ultimately heading back to Cousins Beach with Conrad, where the couple are due to tie the knot — provided the film stays true to the epilogue of author Jenny Han’s final instalment in the series, We’ll Always Have Summer.

The Summer I Turned Pretty movie is anticipated to be released in 2027. The series is streaming now on Prime Video.
