Is Richard Hammond a better farmer than Jeremy Clarkson?

Watch the latest series of Richard Hammond's Workshop here: bit.ly/Richard...
Earlier this year, Richard ventured back to his home-from-home in the Lake District to have a catch-up with his best friend, who happens to be a farmer. Can Richard hack it when it comes to farming life? All we can say is he's not afraid to give it a go!

There's something charmingly wonderful at seeing Richard, the "resident american", being the most British bloke imaginable, and having fun doing it.

[@ShadowRubberDuck]

That's probably the joke after all these years He acts like he is American but out of the three is the most British

I really feel like these videos are great enough that people would also watch them with titles and thumbnails that actually describe the video a bit and not misleading clickbait.

[@liamc7097]

So true, would love for someone to explain how Hammond did anything to do with farming in this. Why not just call it Hammond's day in his favourite place in the world or so? People would still watch

[@l_j_c_5397]

@@ptacnik I'm sure most people would watch it if it only mentioned Hammond. He's brilliant!

The sad reality of KZbin is that more people watch it with these headlines.

[@JonathanB6023]

It does leave a certain hole of disappointment when you reach the end of an otherwise nicely crafted video, but were waiting for any hint of 'farming' and 'Clarkson' content only to find you'd been duped. Rather dampens the enjoyment of the creators' efforts.

[@hsdsaunders]

Yep they are interesting in their own. Who ever is in charge of titles needs sacking, whoever is in charge of the person in charge of the titles also needs sacking.

The Hamster lecturing someone on how to drive 😳🤣

[@ldorman]

I'm writing this before even watching the video to answer the question. Yes! It was multiple times mentioned that RH is living on a farm and he owned multiple animals; also during some specials he dropped some remarks what made clear that he knows his way around farms and equipment - he might not be a farmer, but he seemed to be comfortable in that environment. So, probably, he would make a better farmer, but strangely, the roles are kinda switched. Would someone 10yrs ago said that Clarkson has a farm and Hammond a car restoration garage, I would had argued it would be the other way round.
