Jeremy Clarkson Just Announced Something HUGE With Richard Hammond.
New Clarkson’s Farm Crossover With Richard Hammond Planned — And It’s as Brilliantly Bonkers as You’d Expect
A brand-new Clarkson’s Farm crossover with Richard Hammond is on the horizon — and fans of Jeremy Clarkson’s mischievous antics couldn’t be happier. The plan, dreamed up by Clarkson himself at his now-iconic Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds, promises to bring together two of television’s most beloved troublemakers once again — though this time, their partnership will take an unexpected (and hilarious) rural twist.
For over two decades, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May were the unstoppable trio behind Top Gear and later The Grand Tour. Their chemistry, chaos, and shared love of all things with wheels turned car television into global entertainment. But when Clarkson’s Farm debuted on Prime Video, viewers discovered a different side of the famously brash presenter: one that swapped roaring engines for muddy fields, tractors, and the endless frustrations of real farming life.
The show, filmed at Clarkson’s 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, became an instant hit — not only for its humor but for its surprising authenticity. Fans loved watching Clarkson’s struggles with weather, crops, bureaucracy, and livestock, often guided (or exasperated) by fan-favorite farmhand Kaleb Cooper. Four series later, Clarkson’s Farm is one of Prime Video’s biggest successes — and now it seems the “Hamster” himself could become a bigger part of the story.
Earlier this year, Hammond made a brief but memorable cameo in the latest season, when Clarkson called on him for advice about hanging a tractor from the roof of his pub, The Farmer’s Dog. Their reunion was short, but it sparked nostalgia among fans who have missed seeing the pair’s banter in action.
However, the cameo wasn’t the only nod to Hammond. One of Clarkson’s pigs was humorously named Richard Ham — a clear wink to his longtime co-star. The pig, initially the runt of the litter, became an unexpected star of the series after viewers fell in love with its underdog story. Clarkson, known for his tongue-in-cheek humor, even joked that “Richard Ham” was tougher than he looked — a playful jab that Hammond himself found hilarious.
Now, Clarkson appears ready to take the joke — and the crossover — to the next level. According to national reports, the 65-year-old presenter has officially applied to the UK’s Intellectual Property Office to trademark the name “Richard Ham.”
Why? Because Clarkson is planning an entire merchandise line inspired by the pig.
If approved, the trademark would allow Clarkson to produce and sell a wide range of goods under the Richard Ham name — including clothing, homeware, gardening tools, cookbooks, and even Christmas decorations. Yes, you read that right: festive baubles and aprons featuring a pig named after Richard Hammond could soon be gracing fans’ homes.
A source told The Daily Star that “Jeremy sees the humor in taking the joke as far as possible. He wants the ‘Richard Ham’ brand to become part of the Diddly Squat Farm world — something fans can actually buy and enjoy.”
For fans of The Grand Tour, the prospect of another Clarkson-Hammond crossover — even one centered around a pig — is cause for celebration. Their comedic chemistry remains unmatched, and their friendship, forged through years of chaotic road trips and disasters, continues to shine through in every reunion.
While it’s not yet clear whether Hammond will appear in future episodes of Clarkson’s Farm, the idea of him revisiting Diddly Squat to “meet” his namesake pig seems almost inevitable. Imagine the banter: Hammond defending his pig counterpart’s honor while Clarkson stirs the pot from behind the camera.
In the ever-expanding Diddly Squat universe — which now includes a farm shop, a restaurant, a pub, and multiple product lines — Richard Ham might just be the next unlikely star. One thing’s certain: when Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond team up, chaos, laughter, and headlines always follow.
