Jeremy Clarkson.Few could have anticipated that motor-racing trophy winner Kelvin would swap life in the fast lane for the simple life in the country, or indeed that the former soap star would swap Emmerdale's farm for a real life one - but naysayers were proved wrong on both counts when he scored his own TV show.One of the biggest problems facing Kelvin and Liz in their bid to be taken seriously as newbie farmers were the comparisons to Jeremy's Amazon hit show Clarkson's Farm.Kelvin has a message to those who believe there's a similarity: "Watch our show [first] and then make your conclusions yourself."Talking on Netmums Sweat, Snot and Tears podcast, he clarified: "We did get a lot of suggestions that we just ripped it off, or copied it."[However] we were three months into production when Clarkson's show came out."People forget that there's a formal development process , there's a picture process, a commission process - we're three months down the line into filming and then Clarkson's arrives at summertime."He added: "I'm not copying anyone, I've got no need to! We are very confident in who we are."Other differences include age - Kelvin and Liz are a generation younger than Jeremy's at just 38, and the pair recently announced they are expecting twins.Not only will Liz soon be "breastfeeding two babies", but the pair are also learning how to nurture baby animals too.He revealed on the podcast that the pair recently attended a lambing show to teach themselves "lambing as newbies".The comparisons to 61-year-old Top Gear presenter Jeremy might relate to both men being passionate about motorsport.However, Kelvin was quick to clarify: "What we represent is just us."All we are being is ourselves - the mistakes we make are
