Clarkson's Farm - First Season English Subtitles

1
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,920
Sideways in linen.

2
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,960
For many years,
this has been my day job.

3
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:18,959
Going in hard and hot!

4
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:21,519
But when
the important work was over...

5
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:24,719
I've lost one of my nose tampons!

6
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:27,959
I came home to this.

7
00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:35,519
It's my farm in the Cotswolds.

8
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,760
Nestling among the ancient
stone villages,

9
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:46,879
it's a peaceful, 1,000-acre haven
of wide open fields,

1
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,440
On my farm,
most of the land is used to grow crops.

2
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:31,880
But not all of it.

3
00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:37,039
Nearly 300 acres is like this, natural,

4
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:39,759
wild,

5
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,360
and teeming with rare grasses,
with flowers,

6
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:46,199
and bees.

7
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,920
This part of the farm
is so ecological and diverse

8
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,080
and sustainable
and good for global warming.

9
00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:56,679
DEFRA, which is the Department of...

1
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:27,879
Although the freakish
autumn rainfall had played havoc

2
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,120
with my farming plans,

3
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:32,679
there were days when the sun came out

4
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:35,639
and Kaleb could get back to tractoring.

5
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,680
And on one of these rare occasions,
I decided we needed a treat.

6
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,879
Right. I'm on my way
to the local farm shop

7
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,999
to pick up a ploughman's.
Well, what I need for a ploughman's.

8
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:02,279
And here we are.

9
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,000
You have arrived at your destination.

1
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,280
If I'd driven along here at this time
of year when I first started driving

2
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:33,319
30 or 40 years ago,
after about five miles,

3
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,440
I wouldn't have been able to see
where I was going.

4
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:43,520
My windscreen would be
an opaque smorgasbord of dead insects.

5
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,280
But look at it now.

6
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,760
There's nothing.

7
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,680
You get more flies
on the front of a submarine.

8
00:00:55,119 --> 00:00:57,959
The fact is that in just 30 years,

9
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:03,119
insect numbers have dropped by 25%

1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,120
♪♪

2
00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:23,719
♪♪

3
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,120
Chinese authorities

4
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,120
are stepping up
efforts to control

5
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,120
the spread of the virus.

6
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,000
In some parts of China,

7
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:47,119
orders have been introduced
limiting just one person...

8
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,720
the Chinese Ambassador

9
00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:51,639
criticized some countries
for overreacting.

10

1
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,880
It turns out
there's a good reason

2
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,480
why farmers always moan about
the weather.

3
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,000
Because it never does
what they want it to do.

4
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,960
Back in the autumn when I needed
a dry spell to plant my crops,

5
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,240
I got this.

6
00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:51,159
It rained non-stop for eight
weeks.

7
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,160
And then in May when I
needed rain

8
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,320
to keep those crops alive...

9
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:01,679

1
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:24,358
With the all-hands-on-deck

2
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:27,879
harvest frenzy nearly upon us,

3
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,640
I had to work fast to complete
all the other projects

4
00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:34,079
I'd started earlier in the
farming year.

5
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,758
And so, with the sun continuing

6
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:40,439
to blaze down from a cloudless
sky,

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,640
I decided to begin with what I
thought

8
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:47,559
would be the coolest job of
them all.

9
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,960
Seven hundred glass bottles.

1
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,800
It's peak summer

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,200
and a normal day on the farm
now looks like this.

3
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,920
I get up at 6:30
and after a hit of coffee,

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,960
set off to let the hens
out of their houses.

5
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:29,039
Morning.

6
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,840
On the way back, I pick some
mushrooms for my lunch.

7
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,440
And then it's off to feed the
fish.

8
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:40,959
Back at home, I start work on
the tomato sauce recipe

9
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:43,359
