Chiefs from the streaming giant told an audience at the Edinburgh TV Festival that they had Clarkson’s Farm despite the controversy.
Bosses at Amazon Studios said they were “shocked and disappointed” at Jeremy Clarkson’s criticism of the Duchess of Sussex in a column last year.
Fozia Khan, unscripted lead, UK Originals for Amazon Studios, said the team were “shocked and disappointed” but ultimately made the decision to continue the show.She added: “I mean, there’s lots of conversations going on. But I think the thing that I want to say is that the show is so much bigger than Clarkson.”Ipso upheld a complaint that the column was sexist towards the duchess, describing some of the comments about her as “pejorative and prejudicial”.
The former Top Gear presenter apologised for the piece, describing his language as “disgraceful” and said he was “profoundly sorry”. Prime Video has also shared an image of the rarely photographed investigative journalist, Mazher Mahmood, ahead of the release of a new documentary series, called The Fake Sheikh.
