Jeremy Clarkson was left feeling exasperated when watching a recent episode of BBC Countryfile.
Spotting long-term presenter John Craven, 83, wearing a hard hat and hi-vis clothing while filming in an empty field, Jeremye expressed his displeasure.
Jeremy, 63, who has his own TV show, Clarkson’s Farm, wrote on Instagram: ‘Why is he wearing a hat and a high-visibility jacket? It’s a field for crying out loud.’
John had been visiting a settlement in Must Farm, Cambridgeshire that has been perfectly preserved by a fire that occurred during the Bronze Age.
Photographing another moment in the show, Jeremy wrote in mock jest: ‘Look at these maniacs. In a wood with no hats or spectacles.’

Responding to Jeremy’s outburst, a number of his followers agreed with him in the comments, posting: ‘Given up watching! What’s the weather forecast? That’s the only bit worth watching! Warship on Channel 5 is much better!’
‘It’s the (BBC) rules. Or maybe it helps the cameraman stay awake’.
‘We’ve turned into a nanny state!’
‘Good safety glasses too, protects him from the…..No. I’ve got nothing.’
Jeremy’s outburst came after huge queues formed outside his Diddly Squat farm shop in the Cotswolds after it reopened earlier this month following its winter closure.
Images showed a throng of fans lining the car park waiting to get a chance to spend their money on available items inside.
The shop has become a major tourist attraction in its own right, with fans coming from across the country and beyond to visit.
However, a lack of adequate parking has meant that visitors have frequently been forced to park on adjacent fields and the side of the road, disturbing land and sparking heated disapproval from villagers.
Clarkson has already had six planning disputes with his local council over numerous different proposals to expand the Diddly Squat site but has faced continued opposition.
