Well there's quite a lot of protestors in Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion, there's been registered peaceful protests with thousands attending that got less media attention, so very few did the sort of stunts you describe which then did.
In comparison, the farmer protests are a couple of dozen rich twats moaning about paying half the inheritance tax anyone else of their wealth does, several of whom (Clarkson) aren't even farmers but bought out farmland precisely to dodge tax.
Portraying climate activists as "a few protestors able to cause a lot of disruption" is ignoring all of the times they tried other ways to get into the news and failed.
Gonna expect more of this over the next 2 years. If punters are willing to travel in and stay in a hotel for a show, why bother moving that show in the first place? Let everyone come to you.
I think it's top 5 for me but I do think the Sunday night pageantry atmosphere, the wait after 2020 being cancelled and the fact that he was one of my faves I had never seen really was the extra over that made it special. The set itself is a bit of blur tbh but I know I was losing my sh*t at the time.
