Two prominent farming programmes have earned nominations to compete for one of television’s most prestigious factual entertainment awards.

Both “Clarkson’s Farm” and “The Yorkshire Vet” have made it onto the exclusive five-programme shortlist, vying for the title of the National Television Award’s best factual entertainment show. This recognition places them among the elite in television, celebrating their unique contributions to the genre.

Last year’s accolade was claimed by ITV’s heartwarming series “Paul O’Grady: For the Love of Dogs,” which set a high benchmark for quality and viewer engagement.

This year, the team behind “Clarkson’s Farm” — including Jeremy Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, Charlie Ireland, and Gerald Cooper — are optimistic about their chances following the overwhelming success of the show’s third season. The series has garnered widespread acclaim for its authentic portrayal of farm life, combining humor with the harsh realities of agriculture.

Meanwhile, Peter Wright, the beloved star of “The Yorkshire Vet,” has reached out to fans with a heartfelt message, urging them to lend their support before the voting deadline on September 11. Wright expressed his gratitude for the public’s backing thus far but emphasized the need for additional votes to secure the win against four formidable competitors.

“I am asking for your help again,” Wright appealed. “Thanks to everyone’s help so far, we have made it onto the shortlist for these prestigious awards. However, we need more votes because we are up against four other strong programmes. Your support could give us that crucial nudge we need to win this award. It would mean the world to us.”
