Jeremy Clarkson said goodbye to two major features of Clarkson’s Farm location Diddly Squat in the third episode of the fourth season. He was taken to the side by the farm vet, who had noticed the boar they were renting to impregnate the sows had become violent towards them, making the farm unsafe. He told Clarkson the boar had been so aggressive towards the three female pigs during sex that they were unable to use their back legs, leading Clarkson to brand him “Harvey Swinestein”.
As the boar was not only blocking the entrance to the pen to keep his sows trapped, but was chomping the metal of the door, Jeremy decided it was time to say goodbye. He told Lisa Hogan: ““[The boar is] so violent at sex, he’s broken the house. And I was just in there and he was pawing the ground. He’s like a bull. He’s not a very nice pig.”
Hogan quickly responded: “I think we get rid of Harvey Swinestein tomorrow, he’s gotta go.”
Poor Kaleb Cooper and Harriet Cowan had a job trying to get the boar into the truck, and were forced to use pig blocks to try and guide him, leading to Cooper taking a battering from the huge pig. But eventually he was loaded onto the van as the team said a relieved farewell.
Only moments later, Harriet also said goodbye to Jeremy as she returned to her farm in Derbyshire following Kaleb’s return to Diddly Squat.
Clarkson seemed gutted to see her go as he said: “”You’ve been an absolute star, thank you ever so much, you’ve been absolutely brilliant. And best of luck and I’ll send you pictures of the barley when it’s growing.”
He added: “Saved my life you did, you were brilliant. If I get stuck again, can I give you a call? No, sorry, let me rephrase that. When we get stuck again.”
As Harriet drove off, he said to the camera that she had been a “superstar”. It seems Harriet has gone down well with viewers as they rushed to praise the new addition. One said: “Loving Harriet so far she’s absolutely brilliant keep her around!!” Another added: “Big fan of Harriet.”
Clarkson’s Farm is now on Amazon Prime, with episodes five to eight airing on May 30.
