Jeremy Clarkson becomes frantic in the upcoming series of Clarkson's Farm after a nasty mishap involving farm manager, Kaleb Cooper. Clarkson, 64, his partner Lisa Hogan and Kaleb take the helm again in the fresh season of Clarkson's Farm, coming to Amazon Prime next month.

The show reveals the inner workings and foibles of Oxfordshire's Diddly Squat Farm. The unfortunate incident was teased in a previous trailer and now viewers will get to see the entire accident as it unfolds. In the third episode, the two main men are at the farm sorting out overhead branches - cue a quip from Jeremy: "Because this is a TV show, that meant plenty of fuss from health and safety."

Soon enough we see Kaleb getting hitched up in a harness, securely fastened to a cherry picker cage; their task? To neaten up those tree tops. With a smirk, Jeremy comments: "To make sure you can't escape! ", reports the Mirror.

But Kaleb isn't laughing; he snaps, saying: "I can't do this, take it off, I can't have it on! " Jeremy's glib response is simply: "You can't not have it on because we're being filmed."

The job gets done, with all those pesky overhead branches neatened up. However, as Kaleb disembarks from the cherry picker, things go awry when he forgets about the safety harness. He loses balance, tumbling into machinery, much to his distress.

Jeremy is noticeably shaken and can be heard shouting, "S**t, are you alright? " He darts towards Kaleb while Lisa explains: "He forgot he was attached", to which Jeremy responds: "Oh s**t, you forgot you were attached? " Jeremy then questions if Kaleb has injured his head.

Following a medical inspection that reveals an emerging bruise, Jeremy comments, "Let's be brutally honest, it was the health and safety equipment that has injured him! " Lisa reminds them that she had a similar incident before.

Continuing on a humorous note, Jeremy declares: "I think we've got to get rid of all health and safety equipment off the farm, it's truly injuring people! " In voiceover, Jeremy adds: "Luckily Kaleb's skull was thicker than the cage it had hit so work continued."

A summary for the forthcoming season hints at trouble brewing at Diddly Squat: "The third series [finds] Diddly Squat facing some seriously daunting challenges. The crops are failing in the severe hot weather, rising inflation has pushed supply prices through the roof, aspirations for the much-loved restaurant are crushed and now the farm shop also faces closure."

It teases: "Jeremy urgently needs to devise innovative solutions to keep the business afloat, hence he schemes to monetise the hundreds of acres of untouched land dense woodland and hedgerows that constitute half of Diddly Squat. This triggers an array of Clarkson-concocted ideas, involving everything from goats and pigs to mushrooms, nettles and deer."

"Someone new arrives to Diddly Squat, which puts Kaleb's nose out of joint - as well as the returning characters all working to help Jeremy's farming ambitions come to fruition."
