\n The TV presenter, known for his work on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, owns Diddly Squat Farm here in Oxfordshire, where Clarkson’s Farm is filmed for Prime Video.\n<\/p>\n

\n The series has become a major hit since its launch in 2021, with farm worker and drystone wall expert Gerald Cooper emerging as a fan favourite among others in the show.\n<\/p>\n

\n On Friday (September 4), Mr Clarkson hosted Hawkstone Harvest Festival at The Farmer’s Dog pub, his Oxfordshire venue near Burford.\n<\/p>\n

\n The 66-year-old welcomed thousands of visitors for an event featuring live music, food and drinks from his Hawkstone brand.\n<\/p>\n

\n At the festival, Mr Clarkson appeared on stage alongside fellow TV presenter George Lamb and Groove Armada musician Andy Cato.\n<\/p>\n

\n As Gerald Cooper came up in conversation, Mr Lamb asked: “Where is Gerald?”\n<\/p>\n

\n Mr Clarkson responded: “Gerald’s got toothache.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Quipping in his reply, Mr Lamb joked: “Has he got teeth?”\n<\/p>\n

\n Mr Clarkson then confirmed that Mr Cooper is currently out of action, as he added: “He has got teeth. Not all of them, but the ones he’s got left hurt, so he’s slightly laid low at the moment.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Filming is currently underway for Clarkson’s Farm series six, with the new episodes expected to be released in 2027.\n<\/p>\n

\n This will follow on from the fifth edition, which came out in June of this year with eight fresh episodes for fans to dig into.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The TV presenter, known for his work on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, owns Diddly Squat Farm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597250,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-597249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597249\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
