Hawkstone Choir to feature on Clarkson's Farm
After wowing the judges on Britain's Got Talent, the Hawkstone Farmers' Choir will play a major role in new episodes Clarkson's Farm.
The Hawkstone Farmers' Choir will play a major role in new episodes Clarkson's Farm.
The singing collective - who Amanda Holden put straight through to this year's Britain's Got Talent semi-finals with her golden buzzer - were formed with the help of Jeremy Clarkson and are sponsored by his Hawstone Brewery firm, and with "darker" episodes of the former Top Gear star's farming programme set to air over the coming months, the group will be providing some much-needed lighter relief in the following installment.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Filming is well and truly under way and the finished show is likely to air next year.
“Fans will, however, be able to see [the next series] in a matter of weeks, though according to Jeremy it’s a rather darker season than we’ve been used to.
“But the appearance of the Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir in the following outing is going to make it more uplifting.
“They’re going to have to get used to being even more famous though.”
It was revealed in February that Clarkson's Farm bosses had signed off on a sixth season after Jeremy had previously teased he would return to filming if it showed over the winter.
The Sun stated at the time: "Jezza got straight out onto the fields of Diddly Squat Farm and start the cameras rolling. Last week things really picked up the pace, however, and the team are now on target to be able to deliver us the new season next year. "
The 65-year-old TV presenter revealed in December he would be taking a break from TV in early 2026 for the first time in 40 years, but he vowed to get back in front of the camera on his Oxfordshire farm if snow fell.
He told The Sun: "We’ve never had a rest, we wrap a series and immediately start again because farming doesn’t stop. You harvest and you’re immediately start drilling for the next year.
"So, but this time Kaleb‘s gone off to Australia, he’s filming down there at the moment, I was doing Millionaire Hot Seat and I really wanted to have a holiday because I haven’t had one in ages.
"So we just said, 'OK well let’s just actually wrap it.' And then I just said, ‘If it snows we’ll start filming again'."
Clarkson went on to add he still has plenty of ideas for future series of the show, adding: "We’ll definitely do six - Amazon want to (do series six) and I want to. I’ve got a good idea for six ...
"I said I’ll stop doing them when there are no more ideas. But I’ve got two quite good ones, so we’ll do six and then we’ll see ... "
