Season 5

A health scare sees Jeremy looking for ways to make life at Diddly Squat less stressful. A new breed of sheep might help, but his new pub might not.

Jeremy hatches a plan for the pub's first festive season, kicking off in style when the Farmer's Dog hosts a gig by one of Ireland's biggest bands. Elsewhere, farmers from across the UK gather to protest the government's latest tax hikes.

It's the new year and Jeremy decides Diddly Squat needs a bold new direction. Diving headlong into the world of high-tech farming, he takes Kaleb on his first ever trip abroad to find out how it's done.

Autonomous farming arrives at Diddly Squat. Which is just as well, because there are problems at the pub, and with the pigs.

Diddly Squat 2.0 continues to take shape with a new farm office and the arrival of a droid. The snails, meanwhile, have been getting along famously, and the cows are due to give birth any day.

Diddly Squat is basking in a sunny spell. There're baby animals aplenty, the high-tech crops are coming along nicely and there's a big night at the pub to look forward to. The only question is, when does a sunny spell become a drought?

Jeremy busies himself with a project close to his heart, inviting over a local birdlife expert to offer advice on how Diddly Squat can be more friendly to its winged residents. And while things get heated when that advice clashes Kaleb's tried-and-tested farming ways, all is soon forgotten when - with the harvest looming - the farm is rocked by some devastating news.

With the farm still reeling from its shock TB diagnosis, there's no time to dwell as the harvest arrives. This year's will be like no other, and only once the results are in can the Diddly Squat family take stock of this rollercoaster of a farming year.
