A sign created by a Norfolk businessman who frequents a Suffolk market has appeared on hit TV show Clarkson's Farm. 

Kevin Bandy, who runs Norfolk Crafts based in Fincham and is a regular seller at the Bury St Edmunds market, said he was "surprised" and "chuffed" when he noticed a custom sign he had created and sent to the show had been displayed in the background of some of the episodes.

A fan of the show, Mr Bandy made the wooden sign with images of stars Jeremy Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper and Gerald Cooper engraved alongside the words 'Diddly Squat Dream Team' and sent it to the farm, which is between Chipping Norton and Chadlington in the Cotswolds.

Mr Bandy said: "I watched season one and I really enjoyed it so, me being me, I made up a couple of signs for the Diddly Squat Dream Team and also sent them a logo on a bit of Norfolk ash. 

"I didn't hear back from them but during season three lo and behold my two signs were in the shop. I was chuffed." 

He said he has only told a few people about the sign appearing on the show, but that they were all very pleased for him. 

"It is a shame they never tweeted or mentioned it and gave me the credit but it was a gift as such so you don't expect something from it," he said.

"I have now sent them a new novelty bottle opener which I hope might be mentioned as well. It has a bit of humour to it."

Mr Bandy, who set up Norfolk Crafts during one of the Covid lockdowns, said the sign appeared in the background during two episodes of season three. 

He said he sources all of his raw materials for his Norfolk Crafts products from sustainable sources and his workshop runs on renewable power.

The businessman also owns company UK Ball Machines, which he set up 17 years ago and which sells training machines for cricket and squash.
