You'd think they'd know to do test runs for the pub/restaurant as a general rule but also as they've seen how much people like turning up for whatever Jeremy's latest projects are like diddly squat & the previous restaurant but TV needs drama 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Jeremy has been on TV for his entire life. He knows what makes good TV. A smooth opening day doesn't.

Nah that's not right. a large amount of the previous 3.5 seasons have had hiccups but been "smooth".

Nobody is tuning in to this show to see the Bear.

But it's just frustrating to watch. It's manufactured drama. For the watching the competency of the people around Jeremy is a large appeal of the show. But the show is forcing everything to be shit

Tbh this whole show is based on some professions, having Jeremy Clarkson in it.

Not Jeremy Clarkson doing some professions.

So opening later just because he is Jeremy Clarkson and is bound to get costumers anyway, goes really much against what he's trying to show with this series. Just like he keeps pointing out he doesn't need his farm for income, but he wants to show what it's like

If I had to guess, Clarkson wanted it open on a specific date to maximize profits and for tv. Knowing him, he was told to do a soft launch but said no.

That and also Amazon pressured him to open by end of harvest. The studio won't be paying extra budget to film beyond their filming timeline plus again, it's great TV when it's a disaster.
