Clarkson's Farm fans have been trying to work out who Jeremy's neighbour is from hilarious fence scene (2024)

Just like that, it's another long wait until the next instalment of Clarkson's Farm after the second half of season three was released to Amazon Prime Video.

The last four episodes of the third outing of Jeremy Clarkson's venture in to full-time farming arrived on Prime Video last Friday (10 May), with millions sitting down over the weekend to tuck in to the feast offered up by Prime Video.

The vibes are a lot more positive compared to the first half of the season, which saw Clarkson have to make heartbreaking decisions while also coping with the tragic deaths of more than a dozen of his piglets.

The first episode of the second half gives us the joyous return of treasured farmhand Gerald Cooper, who had been absent for some time following a devastating cancer diagnosis.

But it is one scene later in the series that has got fans of the hit show in stitches, with them left to figure out who a mystery neighbour of Clarkson's might be.

In episode six of the third season, Clarkson ventures in to goat farming which he hopes will help him clear his massive brambles problem taking over so much of his land. With goats eating pretty much anything, it sounds like a surefire win.

Unfortunately for Jezza, they don't mature enough in time to tackle the problem during the third season, which leads him to making them 'goats for hire'.

"I went to pick up the goats because I'd come up with a new business plan," Clarkson says.

"I'd bought the goats to clear a bunch of brambles... but they still aren't big enough to do that. So how's this for a plan?

"I'm renting them out. They have become Avis goats. They will go to neighbouring farms and clear things up, brambles and so on, and earn me money. And they shall become bigger and then next year they'll get on with it."

Clarkson then reveals his 'first customer was a friend who owned a bit of land next to mine'.

After pulling up on the border of his land and his neighbouring friend, Clarkson awaits for his pal's land agent to turn up to discuss terms. It's at this point that Jeremy's own agronomist, Charlie Ireland, quite literally walks out of bushes on the neighbour's side of the fence.

Jeremy asks 'what are you doing here?' before Charlie reveals he looks after the client there too.

"How are we going to negotiate a price then," Jeremy asks with Charlie admitting: "I do realise there's a slight conflict."

Jeremy says: "How much is the nameless owner of this field going to pay me for the goats?"

Charlie replies: "Pay you? I mean, look at all the wonderful forest. The browse... you know, all that value sitting before you eyes. How about we call it zero?"

Jeremy, not having it, says: "No, not zero. Climb over this fence. How much now?"

Charlie dryly replies: "Well there's not much value out there is there. There's no value there at all. He should be paying five or six pence per day per goat. It soon adds up."

Winding up Clarkson some more, Charlie steps back on to the neighbour's property and says: "Nah I don't think we can accept that."

He then gets serious on the matter, and says: "Lucky the value is being provided by that lot [the goats] eating the invading blackthorn. It creates a better wildflower meadow."

The scene had viewers in stitches with Charlie leading Clarkson on in a side to him viewers rarely saw.

Over on Reddit, one person labelled it the 'funniest bit' of the series, adding: "Honestly, a laugh out loud moment for me. Charlie is a wonderful man."

Attention then turned to who the un-named neighbour might be, given the very famous names that live in the Chipping Norton and Chadlington areas.

"The biggest thing I wondered about that scene was whether the neighbouring landowner Charlie was also representing was a certain ex-Prime Minister," one neighbour said.

Given both Chipping Norton and Chadlington fall under the Whitney constituency, once represented by a certain David Cameron, the dots were connected rather quickly. One user wrote: "[Cameron's] stated many times they are neighbours and I think he borrowed Jeremys tractor once, and there was a thread earlier this week about Charlie having high profile clients which would fit there too. Specifically here, it was how Jeremy stated that the neighbour's would remain nameless."

Clarkson and Cameron are famously neighbours, with the former PM still living in the area despite quitting as an MP back in 2016. They're mates too, with Clarkson lending him a tractor at one point which blew up minutes after the former Prime Minister sat down to use it.

"David Cameron broke my tractor the other day," Clarkson said last year on the Performance People podcast.

"He just borrowed it to go and mow his paddock and then...", Clarkson said before Kaleb Cooper butted in with: "Never lend a tractor to an MP."

Kaleb said: "It's ploughed fields all day for the last you know, 60 years. And then all of a sudden David Cameron jumps on it and 'bang'."

Clarkson said: "I honestly thought he'd been hit by a heat-seeking missile. There was so much smoke. Unbelievable amount of smoke."

LADbible understands that those trying to figure out who the neighbour is are a little wide of the mark, with this particular estate not belonging to Mr Cameron. Better luck next time.
