In a twist that’s got fans and critics buzzing, Clarkson’s Farm just pulled off a major upset—taking home a top award and beating out three of TV’s biggest hits in the process. The Prime Video sensation, led by Jeremy Clarkson’s signature humor and heart, continues to defy expectations and rack up accolades. What’s behind the show’s unstoppable momentum, and how did it manage to outshine such fierce competition? The victory has everyone talking—and proves Clarkson’s Farm is only getting bigger and better.
Jeremy Clarkson is rightly proud of the huge success of Clarkson’s Farm, but even he could not have seen its latest accolade coming.
The hit Prime Video series which also features farmhand Kaleb Cooper and Jezza’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan took the entertainment gong at last night’s TRIC Awards — right from under the noses of telly’s biggest shows.

The Sun columnist didn’t pick up his award, but sent a video from Diddly Squat and said: “I hope that the team have a fantastic night cos all of you deserve it.”
His show beat Gavin & Stacey’s finale — which was watched by 18million viewers — Ant and Dec’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and Claudia Winkleman’s The Traitors.
And that wasn’t the only upset at the Television and Radio Industries Club’s celebration of telly, radio and online shows, hosted by Dan Walker at London’s Grosvenor Hotel.
Bradley Walsh beat serial winners Ant and Dec, Alison Hammond and Martin Lewis to TV Personality.
GB News Breakfast scooped the News category over Good Morning Britain, ITV and BBC’s evening news, and also won best News Presenter for Charlie Peters over Fiona Bruce, Susanna Reid and host Dan.
This Morning star Sam Thompson was thrilled to pick up the Podcast honour with pal Pete Wicks for Staying Relevant after a number of previous nominations.
Grinning Sam said: “We’ve never won one and we turn up every time. It always goes to Peter Crouch, who doesn’t even turn up!”
A win also came as a surprise to the cast of Channel 4’s The Great British Bake Off, who told me they failed to write an acceptance speech as they didn’t expect to take home the Best Food gong ahead of BBC’s MasterChef.
Last year’s finalist Christiaan De Vries joked: “I should’ve used ChatGPT! Bake Off is such a legacy, isn’t it?”
Last year’s winner Georgie Grasso added: “It’s a great show and everyone works so hard, so an award is the icing on the cake.”
