Description
It's been another memorable year on Diddly Squat Farm - will the chickens finally come home to roost?
Welcome back to Clarkson's Farm.
The spring crop failed. Farming sheep, pigs, and cows was hardly more lucrative (better off breeding ostriches...)
But in the face of uncooperative weather, bureaucracy, and the world's persistent refusal to recognise his genius, our hero's not beaten yet. Not while the farm shop's still doing a roaring trade in smelly candles, he isn't.
Misery loves company and in girlfriend Lisa, Farm Manager Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie, and Gerald his Head of Security, Jeremy's got the best. And it's hard to feel too gloomy with a JCB telehandler, a crop-spraying hovercraft, and a digger in the barn.
Diddly Squat: Home to Roost offers another humorous glimpse into the trials and triumphs of life on the farm.
