Jeremy Clarkson forced to halt Clarkson’s Farm filming as he issues frustrated 11-word statement
Jeremy Clarkson has taken to social media to hit out at a rather irritating disruption wreaking havoc on his Oxfordshire farm.
On Friday, the 65-year-old and the Clarkson’s Farm crew were busy filming scenes for the upcoming fifth season when they were forced to alter their plans.
Filming at his Oxfordshire farm, based near Chadlington just outside Chipping Norton, was paused when an unexpected plane entered the airspace above.
The privately owned aircraft appeared to fly over Clarkson’s Diddly Squat farm after departing from Oxford, performing a loop over the former Top Gear star’s property.
Clarkson shared a screenshot of the flight map on his Instagram for his 9.3 million followers to see.
In the diagram, the flight path of the plane could be seen, with the aircraft heading towards Chadlington from Oxford after flying over the likes of Charlbury, Woodstock, and Stonesfield on its route.
Once the plane was above Clarkson’s farm, it appeared to circle the property before seemingly making its way toward the nearby village, Kingham.
The disturbance resulted in Clarkson and his team having to halt whatever they were filming, and clearly irked by the interruption, the former Grand Tour star took to Instagram to vent his frustration.
In the accompanying caption to the flight map, Clarkson sarcastically penned: “Definitely don’t mind having to stop filming while this flies over.”
Unfortunately for Clarkson, this isn’t the first time that an airborne intrusion has forced filming to pause at Diddly Squat.
In May last year, as filming for the fourth season was underway, Clarkson similarly posted a screenshot of a map on his page to express his irritation with another pilot.
This time, it was a pilot behind the controls of a helicopter, and Clarkson wasn’t quite as reserved in his condemnation of the intrusion back then.

“Filming paused till this f***t*rd b*****s off,” he penned at the time.
The change to the filming schedule isn’t the only major switch-up to have taken place at Diddly Squat of late.
Earlier this month, Clarkson risked the wrath of the Chadlington locals after unveiling a rather drastic change at his popular farm shop.
Fans of Clarkson’s Farm will know all too well the battles Clarkson has faced with Chadlington residents over the shop’s popularity, with traffic jams and parking chaos ensuing over the years.
However, for two days of the week, the area received respite from the flocking tourists as the Diddly Squat farm shop was shut.
Last week, Clarkson and the farm shop team announced that that was going to change, with Diddly Squat now open to the public six days a week.
It is now only Monday that farm shop visitors won’t have access to the shop, with Tuesday now open for trade.
Clarkson’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog, is also open seven days a week, although food isn’t served on Monday.
