Making Farming Bingeable

What makes a farming show binge-worthy? Join producer Peter Richardson as he lifts the curtain on Clarkson’s Farm — and discover how thoughtful storytelling, editing and character work can turn everyday life in the fields into compelling, crowd-pleasing television.

How do you turn rain, mud and tractors into one of the most engaging and entertaining factual series of recent years? In this session, producer Peter Richardson shares how the team behind Clarkson’s Farm brought cinematic storytelling and strong character work to the world of agriculture — and created a show that resonates far beyond traditional farming audiences.  

How do you structure a season when you're working with a year’s worth of footage? How do you create narrative tension around sheep shearing and crop rotation? And how do you make viewers genuinely care about every weather forecast?

Join us to explore how strong editorial choices and storytelling craft can turn even the most down-to-earth subject matter into something truly watchable.
