After months of keeping our lips sealed, we're delighted to announce that 'Amanda Owen's Farming Lives' will launch on More4 on January 25th. Filmed in September and October 2022, the series explores the modern day challenges faced by farmers across the UK, something Amanda can very much relate to as a full-time sheep farmer herself. The series opens with the moving story of two sisters and their mother living on the beautiful isle of Shetland and their bid to build their cattle farming business in one of the UK's most remote locations. 'Amanda Owen's Farming Lives' airs weekly in the 9pm slot and is produced by Leeds-based Wise Owl Films.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids - new More4 series
We're thrilled to announce a new ob-doc series from Leeds-based Wise Owl Films following ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’ Amanda Owen and her family as they renovate a derelict farmhouse. Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids charts the Owens’ journey to breathe life back into a derelict neighbouring property they bought to plan for the family’s future. The series sees Amanda, Clive and their nine children work with a team of local tradespeople to slowly bring their ambitious vision for the farmhouse - known locally as Anty John’s - to life, tackling the changing seasons and challenging elements along the way, as well as getting to grips with the nature of restoring a listed property in a remote location. Cameras also follow Amanda as she digs deep into the farmhouse’s past and reveals the fascinating part its former owners played in local history. The series was commissioned by Channel 4 in a deal secured via Jo Cantello of Wolfsong Media, Amanda Owen's agent. TX dates to be announced soon.
