TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has confirmed there might not be a sixth series of his popular farming show, Clarkson's Farm. The fourth series of the show has recently dropped on Amazon Prime and Clarkson has warned it could be one of the last.
While the fourth series has just become available to watch on Amazon Prime, they are currently filming the fifth series at his farm, Diddly Squat in the Cotswolds. Clarkson has said the fifth series might be the last series.
He told The Times of London: "I'd do a sixth if there was a reason for doing it, like a bloody good story… Whatever happens we'll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out.
"We've been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years.
"Everybody could do with a rest." For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter .

"But the road to becoming a landlord isn't exactly straightforward, and with new faces, new livestock, and new machinery arriving at the farm, life at Diddly Squat is busier than ever."
Recently Clarkson also revealed he would never talk about the incident which led him to leave the BBC and Top Gear, the car programme he shot to fame co-presenting.
Clarkson's Farm producer Peter Fincham recently expressed his opinion to the Telegraph that the BBC made an error by letting the presenter go after the incident, referring to it as a "straightforward mistake" that ultimately benefited Amazon Prime.
Discussing the controversy, Clarkson told the Telegraph: "Everyone's got an opinion of those times and those days. I have never talked about it and I never will." You can read more, here.
Clarkson hosted Top Gear from 2002 to 2015, co-presenting with friends Richard Hammond and James May.
However, things took a turn when Jeremy faced accusations of physical and verbal abuse towards producer Oisin Tymon.

After leaving Top Gear, Clarkson, Hammond and May began hosting The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime and he also launched Clarkson's Farm which became extremely popular.
Additionally, he became the host of the revamped show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

BBC drama leaves viewers 'destroyed' as they watch all 5 episodes at once
BBC's The Narrow Road to the Deep North has become a word-of-mouth hit with viewers, with many saying the war drama is 'terrifying and moving to the soul' A gripping new BBC drama is leaving viewers absolutely stunned, with countless fans confessing they've devoured all five episodes in one go. The Narrow Road to the Deep North, adapted from Richard Flanagan's Booker Prize-winning novel, has emerged as an unexpected sensation since landing on BBC iPlayer, with audiences hailing it as one of the most heart-wrenching and memorable programmes of the year. Featuring Saltburn's Jacob Elordi and Belfast's Ciarán Hinds portraying younger and older incarnations of Australian surgeon Dorrigo Evans, the programme sweeps across generations - from a forbidden romance before the conflict, through the harsh realities of Japanese captivity, to the enduring consequences of psychological wounds. The five-episode series hasn't merely won over critics - securing a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes - it's absolutely devastated audiences. One viewer commented on Google's review platform: "Watched all 5 episodes in one evening. Very good series. War and love. Great acting, lovely soundtrack and a glimpse into the pain and suffering of WW2 and letting go of the love of your life.", reports the Express. Another said: "An outstanding series. Not an easy watch, but well worth it." The emotional impact has been overwhelming, with numerous viewers revealing the series reduced them to tears. One admirer shared: "This series just destroyed me. I still cannot think about it without crying. Every moment, and every character, were compelling... A beautiful show. Highly recommend." Another added: "There was a lot of human connection in this series and a very horrific scene and some sadness. This movie was interesting throughout and was very well paced. It didn't lose my attention at any point." Narrated through flashbacks, the tale focuses on Dorrigo Evans, who becomes an unwilling war hero following his survival of unthinkable terrors in a Japanese labour camp in Burma. However, it's the romance he abandoned - a clandestine affair with his uncle's spouse, Amy - that torments him most profoundly. Odessa Young (Manodrome) portrays Amy, alongside Olivia DeJonge (Elvis) as Dorrigo's spouse Ella, and Simon Baker (The Mentalist) as his mate Keith. Elordi and Young have received acclaim for their on-screen rapport, whilst Hinds delivers emotional gravitas to the elder Dorrigo, still tormented by his past. Elordi disclosed to the BBC how physically demanding the shoot proved, particularly during the prisoner-of-war sequences: "We carried a real tree up the side of a cliff for I don't know how many hours. It was like being in a massive theatre production that was constantly playing." Hinds revealed the novel had captivated him instantly. "It was extraordinary. It was harrowing, heartbreaking, a kind of epic storytelling." Audiences have also commended the series for tackling the grimmer truths of warfare. One Google reviewer described it as "terrifying and moving to the soul," whilst numerous others lauded its cinematography, soundtrack, and emotional resonance. The Narrow Road to the Deep North is presently available to stream in its entirety on BBC iPlayer.

I love Sherlock but a reboot would be the worst idea ever
Nothing has made me feel older than the harrowing realisation that BBC's Sherlock came out 15 years ago today – yes, you read that right. The year was 2010, Matt Smith had completely won me over as the Eleventh Doctor in Doctor Who, my Saturday nights were spent hooked to the new episode of Merlin and, on July 25, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman took over our screens in a modern take on Arthur Conan Doyle's famed detective novels. In short (for nerds everywhere), it was the perfect storm – and it's one that can never be repeated in a reboot. It's because I'm such a fan that I can't stand the idea of it ever coming back, despite repeated calls for it to be picked up again. There's no denying that co-creators Steven Moffat (also the Doctor Who showrunner) and Mark Gatiss knew exactly what they were doing at the time with the show's popularity reaching fever pitch. Benedict and Martin's chemistry as literary duo Holmes and Watson practically burst off the screen (the flirty dynamic between the pair cultivating an even bigger fanbase). Sherlock was not a 'psychopath but a high-functioning sociopath'. This, and 'I am Sherlocked' were plastered onto mugs and T-shirts at every Comic-Con as far as the eye could see, and the phrase 'mind palace' entered everyone's vocabulary. The show was an instant hit and I, like millions of others, became completely hooked – only heightened by the introduction of Andrew Scott as Moriarty, which is arguably the best bit of casting to ever grace British TV (shortly followed by Andrew Scott as Hot Priest). You simply had to be in fandom spaces in the two year gap between the season two finale, The Reichenbach Fall, where Sherlock jumped off a hospital building and supposedly died in front of John, and the season three opener in which – ta-da – he wasn't dead. Ten million people tuned in overnight for the long-awaited return, which spent a large portion basically mocking all the unhinged theories fans had posed before concluding the best explanation was no explanation. (Yes, it haunts me to this day). It was after this where, for some, the show started to go downhill with complaint after complaint from disappointed fans who believed the mysteries were becoming over-involved, the reveals outlandish and the writing thin on the ground The Rotten Tomatoes score plummeted from the 90% mark to the 60% mark by season four, with the finale causing such outrage fans thought there was a second secret surprise ending on the way. Despite the clear nosedive the show took at the time, nostalgia (and rose-tinted glasses) is a powerful drug and, since moving on, the cast and creators have been regularly plagued with the one million dollar question – would they ever do a reboot? There's mixed enthusiasm from their end, especially with a booked and busy Benedict and Martin, who no doubt aren't interested in rewinding the clock on their career by a decade. Just last month Gatiss was asked for the millionth time whether a reboot could ever happen to which he replied a definitive no because 'Benedict and Martin didn't want to do [it] anymore.' And I can't help but echo their sentiments for more than one reason. Firstly, the show's aesthetic fit a very specific cultural era that played wonderfully to their audience. But even by the end of the original run this charm was wearing off. I don't think bringing it back now would be any different. Then there's the fact that, frankly, I'm tired of reboots and remakes of all kinds. It feels like playing into the current creative brain drain that has resulted in the HBO Harry Potter remake, Freakier Friday and yet another I Know What You Did Last Summer. Of course, there is a place for that nostalgia-driven content but we are at a point of oversaturation that has instantly turned me off the idea of any kind of trip down memory lane. Finally, we come to Sherlock itself – a treasured piece of media that has been done various times over the years, from Robert Downey Jr's movie to Henry Cavill and Millie Bobby Brown as the Holmes siblings in Netflix's Enola Holmes. More Trending I'm not sure we need to revisit another one – especially with the third Enola Holmes movie on the way. There needs to be room for more than one iconic detective on TV and I just don't think there's the appetite for BBC's Sherlock in the way there was 15 years ago. The fact of the matter is that nothing will ever be able to replicate the unexpected appeal of the first run, so it feels almost inevitable that any reboot would be terrible. It's better to bow out while you're ahead. View More » My suggestion – take this milestone as a sign to whack on A Study in Pink and reminisce about the good ol'days.
